  • What is to stop literally anyone from signing up to this website to spread disinformation? What are your safeguards?

    There is no automated process so it is down to people to report posts they believe to be spam or abusive.

    I don't think they are here to police the accuracy of information however. They can respond is someone is giving dangerous advice about using drugs etc but if it is for political opinions then that is down to freedom of speech.

    Can you cite any misinformation that has been spreading recently that is provably incorrect?

  • I  did type out a response to this but it has been flagged for spam. I guess someones not in favour of my freedom of expression

  • Same has just happened to me. The NAS needs to sort the problem out. For me being falsely accused of things, be it spamming or anything else,  is a major psychological trigger. That's a product of childhood experiences at prep school.It's further made worse by the often very negative way that mental health professionals  are  found to have behaved to those of us who are later found to be autistic.
