If the difference in unhinged-ness is that large, aren't you worried that makes it an inaccurate representation of the source material, which was not written in a casual iMessage thread format?

Obviously no choice of how to represent them will perfectly reproduce what Zuckerberg or his staff would have seen, but I kinda think rendering things as DMs when they were not originally DMs is more misleading than most options.

It also feels very shoehorned. You have "conversations" where there's only one party, testimony, memos, and interviews presented as casual conversation, entire messages that are actually "[editorial commentary]", no profile pictures, a useless reply button, everyone's status is "online", etc.

I guess someone saw the recent project for viewing the Epstein emails and needed a way to differentiate...
