About

Some articles on the site don’t disclose their affiliate links.

About

Claimed that harassment caused Brianna Wu to leave her home, despite her history of farfetched claims and the ambiguous circumstances of the doxing, and never updated the article despite the the very strong evidence that, apart from an already planned weekend at Comicon, she had never actually left her home, as well as the numerous outrageous claims and apparent false flags that mined Wu’s credibility afterwards.

Dishonesty and Sensationalism emblems may be based on subjective criteria.
