Good one.. someone brings up another example of society getting less civilized.. you don’t like the example and deem it irrelevant and then as a joke bring up things about society that are actually irrelevant. Just doubling down on the irony of being egotistical and reactionary lol keep going, this is fun!

It was not only on topic but completely dismissive about another symptom of society’s devolvement.. we can have two thoughts in our heads at the same time. You just got mad because you view mask wearing as a “political hobby horse” which again, ironic

They're not mutually exclusive in regards to people's actions reflecting the state of society.. your comment is pretty ironic

It definitely has bearing on whether they're actually guilty lol you can't be found guilty if you aren't charged with a crime in the first place.. but that doesn't mean they're guilty, it's just the first step. They still are innocent until proven guilty. It's kind of hard to tell what you're arguing for here.. are you saying it shouldn't be reported when someone is charged? or that people need to stop conflating the two?

The problem with not reporting when someone is charged is that there is a nonzero amount of people out on bail that are in fact guilty.. so the public would deserve to know. This is a scenario where it's a lot of gray area and there's no clean solution that balances both justice and liberty (or in this case the liberty of the person charged with the liberties of the public around them).. I think your logic is also based on the false pretense that if you're innocent of a crime that a state has charged you with, then you're shit out of luck regardless of whether you're found innocent or guilty which isn't true.. People have the right to use the court to sue as well.

This isn't a proclamation of this person's guilt.. it's saying he's charged. If people are mistaking this for him being found guilty then that's their own fault for not understanding how crime/prosecution works.

Actually being charged with something is much more than a mere accusation.. plenty of people don’t get anywhere with the justice system with a simple accusation, even with evidence

Was the “experiment” just someone logging into each platform?
