About fake news, there was a very interesting session at EuroDIG last week that was about “How to spread fake news”. The point was that, in order to fight a phenomenon, you must first understand it and moreover understand how it spreads. So, besides what Olivier quotes, that is taking a sentence out of context, there is also the technique to argue against a position that in reality the victim has never stated. Replying saying “I never said that” will only bring a wave of “Oh, they don’t even have the guts to stand behind their ideas” and a flood of “Like” to the attacker. We live in interesting times.

The very method by which fake information is spread, is to quote something out of context, whilst wilfully omitting other information. Sadly, this is a classic example of such process. We can be accused of getting it wrong every time: 1. provide more information about the various reasonings in our community and we're accused of producing a confusing statement 2. provide a shorter, to the point statement and we're accused of not reflecting the community and being captured by a select few who put this together. Often, we as a community are accused of both. The only way to win this, is to continue doing what we are doing to the best of our ability. If our Statements had no impact, they would not give rise to the criticisms and mis-characterized attacks that the At-Large community is subjected to.

But i also support ALAC concludes statement in this regard “So, we are essentially grappling with competing considerations and uncertainties. After balancing the same, we do not find support for a particular position regarding the removal of price caps." .
