One has to wonder at the psychological forces at play in those who so invested in narcing on others over tweets. The shift to ethereal data streams should've given us more freedom, but instead, too many insist on a digital world where we're pointing fingers and shouting "misinformation!" Where we should be embracing discourse and the messy nature of truth, we're instead building a tattle-tale culture.

Sometimes, it is just "misinformation".
And pointing that out is, well, part of the discourse.

Exactly. Misinformation and disinformation promote discourse. Say something false on the internet and 'watch the fur fly'. The ability to discern and disentangle is a required skill.

You're right, of course.
It's not the shouting that I take great exception to, it's the pathological need to control exercised by suppressing opposing ideas and punishing those that engage in wrongthink.
