  • When they sue you for libel, they will have to prove that you knew you were lying and still went ahead with it, in order to damage or disparage the other party.

    This goes the same for Trump: can you prove he knows he’s lying?

    Edit: in other, better words:

    The legal definition of lying is that someone spread false information with knowledge that the information was false.

    In general, a journalist cannot establish whether a person did or did not have prior knowledge, so we don’t use the term. It keeps us from getting sued.









  • I see you added two paragraphs so let me respond to those separately.

    You’re making a lot of assumptions about my environment. I’m using an Android app, and I see no archive link options anywhere. Nor do I even browse my “home” instance, it was just an arbitrary choice to make an account there.

    12ft.io doesn’t even work on most websites for me. I’ve tried, but it would always break the page or just give me an error.

    Lastly, only OP can put an archive link in the body. So even if I archived something and shared the link, it’s still less accessible than OP including a link in the body.

    Now as for the exact reasoning they will probably not tell you, as ambiguous rejections are easier to manage. But to me that sounds like they think you need guidance / support that they cannot offer (read: don’t have the budget for).

    Not saying I agree with any of it, mind you. Just giving my interpretation
