They’ve since deleted it, but I pointed out that they posted a fake screenshot of an email claiming that Gmail was shutting down. They did reply to me, saying they “didn’t fact check before posting”, but it’s Gmail; if it was shutting down, that would have been the easiest thing in the world to verify. Zero attempt was made to verify what they posted. A cursory glance through their Mastodon account shows a lot of other provocative and misleading headlines.
That’s the first time I hear it, could you share some example / sources?
