alt Hacker NewsSelective amplification of true events as well as selective reporting are bread and butter of modern propaganda. It works a lot better than saying outright falsehoods, which - in the long-term - cause people to lose faith in everything you have to say. And there's always someone jumping to your defense - after all you did not outright lie...

You can't possibly know this is what happened here, it's an observational bias.
That is again a claim with no backing that can be applied to anything without actual data to back it up.
For example. I can just as equally state with the same data to back me up (ie: none as it stands right now) that you are a US government plant posting propaganda to encourage people to not use safer technologies and as a result make their data easier to spy on.
