> Passing information on to to other people is fine. However, in this case, why forwarding? If you are convinced by the information, why not do an effort and post it yourself in the group?
If you are convinced by a presentation of some information that someone else has already done, why go to all the trouble of doing your own presentation of the same information, when you can just point to what has already been done? I don't see how that isn't part of free expression. Free expression doesn't mean you have to re-say everything yourself at tedious length.
Basically the author is complaining that when people have free expression, some of the things they freely express will be false. Yes, that's correct. Welcome to the real world.
