Minor rule change on trolling:
Following News, I made a change to the "no trolling" rule in Politics and World (rule 4 for Politics, 5 for World)
"Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off."
I think this community does a good job of removing posts with blatant misinformation overall. The grey area comes when posting deliberate misinformation from official sources. Without going into specifics or examples so as to avoid any contention. Does this rule apply to claims made by some political/government organizations that create claims with no presented evidence? Especially if they have a known history of doing so?
I'd call that trolling.
So anything coming from Israel’s government without proof is now trolling?
Pretty much everything coming out of Israel's government is trolling, proof or otherwise. Don't take anything the IDF says at face value, they have been proven to be lying over and over again.

If the IDF said the sky was blue, I’d have to go outside and double check. Just to make sure I wasn’t wrong my entire life.
yes
Fair, thank you for confirming.
Too often looking at reports be like:

Maybe you can do something about the genocide denialism going on here.
Oh, I have, multiple times, comment removals and bans.
The worst are the Chinese shills trying to deny the Uyghur genocide. Lately they're calling it the "Xinjiang genocide" thinking we won't notice.
