Should I not have talked to all of those doctors back in April and May who told me disinformation was killing their patients and ravaging their ERs? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/what-are-we-doing-doctors-are-fed-conspiracies-ravaging-ers-n1201446
Should I not have discovered that secret meeting between Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg a year ago this week? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-hosted-zuckerberg-undisclosed-dinner-white-house-october-n1087986
Should I not have talked to all of those people in tiny towns who were told by their local Facebook group that Antifa was coming and that they needed to arm up, in one case putting the lives of a multiracial family at risk? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/klamath-falls-oregon-victory-declared-over-antifa-which-never-showed-n1226681
Should I not have reported on that Boogaloo Boi who organized the murder of two federal officers on Facebook, then encouraged another Boogaloo Boi to burn things down in Minnesota? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/airman-charged-killing-federal-officer-during-george-floyd-protests-california-n1231187
Should I not have discovered the link between the viral anti-mask freakouts and QAnon’s invasion into wellness and religious groups? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/how-qanon-rode-pandemic-new-heights-fueled-viral-anti-mask-n1236695
Should I not have reported that a Hunter Biden dossier alleging dirty deeds a month before his laptop was magically discovered was actually written by an AI-generated person who did not exist? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/how-fake-persona-laid-groundwork-hunter-biden-conspiracy-deluge-n1245387
Should I not have figured out that some Trump supporters were stealing African-American identities to post in support of the president, or that white nationalists were posing as Antifa on Twitter to stir up violence? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/viral-pro-trump-tweets-came-fake-african-american-spam-accounts-n1238553
Should I not have reported on how QAnon indoctrinated women throughout the country into holding hundreds of real-life “SaveTheChildren” rallies that called for the execution of Democrats? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/facebook-removes-troll-farm-posing-african-american-support-donald-trump-n1236056
Those are all stories I broke in the last year.
Should I have not reported those?
Should I not have worked the phones for months, then slaughtered my mental health writing these stories?
I don’t know. Maybe I should’ve just shut up.
But that kind of feels like… censorship.
