  Well, why would you talk about “the media” and you feeling gaslit by them? Maybe I misunderstood you?

    "The media" is a common term in American English that refers to mainstream news outlets. I said I felt gaslit because the early headlines and articles on this topic suggested that names were made visible, not that they were merely added to accounts.

    Regardless, there is no call for personal attacks. I'm sure you can find the maturity to respond to comments you disagree with in ways that don't involve attacking the users who post them.

      Sorry, but where did I personally attack you? And maybe I misunderstood why you referred to “the media” because this gets thrown around by a lot of people like conspiracy or right wing folks.

        Perhaps there is a tonal message in your words that you didn't intend (your native language seems to be German?). This paragraph comes across as dismissing my comment while making a sweeping, inaccurate, and baseless judgment that I "distrust any media that contradicts my beliefs:"

        But by you talking about “the media” I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?

        Hard to see how that couldn't be meant as, at best, a passive-aggressive dig, implying some level of instability or paranoia.
