>Weapons against misinformation are good weapons

It's all fun and games until the political winds sway the other way, and the other side are attacking your side for "misinformation".

I'm having a hard time thinking of any winds where I would want it to be acceptable to publish false statements about a person. It doesn't seem there's even any dispute about whether the statements are false. These things can be complicated, but this is not complicated. I'm not feeling a need to rush to the defense of Google for making false statements about some guy.
