  • Also the app us malware infested and even leaves malware and spyware on your phone after you delete the app!

    “They” used to say McDonald’s is not a restaurant company, it’s a real estate company (they buy land and lease it to franchisees).

    Temu is not a cheap crap company, they are a data company. Their business is to collect data and sell it to profit. The cheap crap you get doesn’t need to make them money, because they are in they business of data harvesting and selling. The cheap crap is just how they get your data.

    If anyone offers you even cheaper stuff if you buy it through the app, then that’s a good sign they want to sell your data.

    As someone else commented, it appears that the license isn’t free because when you share it the new person now owes the original author a beer if they ever meet them, so the middle person isn’t free to do whatever they like because of the ongoing obligation being forced on their users.









  • I think this is still not a citable claim. You link to the affirmative conclusion from a negative premise which includes that statement, but that page is explaining what that is. Your other page is using a claim to prove a different topic.

    The problem is that Wikipedia is not where you prove things. You need to cite somewhere else that proves it, and you need to do it in an impartial way.

    For example, saying that ‘“If you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t fear surveillance from the state” is a logical fallacy’ and citing the book makes Wikipedia have that stance.

    But in contrast, you could say that 'Critics argue that the argument “If you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t fear surveillance from the state” is a logical fallacy" then cite the book, this way the critic is the one with the opinion and not Wikipedia.

    More citations of more critics would probably help too.

    I’m not an expert on Wikipedia by any means, but I do see why someone may have considered this statement not belonging on Wikipedia.

    Wikipedia has some info here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view

    Also see the links at the top of that page about “Verifiability” and “No Original Research” as these are the three key things needed to allow the statement.


  • Not that I disagree, but Wikipedia requires specific criteria for sources. I am not sure that a book about it being a logical fallacy meets that criteria any more than a book about parenting could be used to prove how to parent a child.

    Are there other Wikipedia pages that claim things to be logical fallacies that could be used to see what the burden of proof is for this claim?
