there's no supporting data to defend the claims.
Yes, these posts can often be identified because they are just copy/pastes from a website or email... the person who posts them doesn't link to any data, and when their assertions are challenged with actual data, they refuse to engage or to attempt to justify their position... they either continue posting the same nonsense, or else start a new thread, and repeat with a new topic. There are more examples of this in the P&S section than anyone could possibly count.
Then there will be these people who will be like "Yes, I agree", "Yes, I believe the same thing", "I knew it" without fact checking the information they read which indeed tolerates that behavior you mentioned.
At least, at first glance, a interesting point of view...
not until they hit you with their full potential.
Misinformation is widely spread in these era as the previous generation tend to believe anything they see on the internet.
"Look at this plant, it can heal anykinds of disease", yet there's no supporting data to defend the claims.
"Look, they became magnetic after getting vaccinated", yet the one who is supposed to be magnetic is just sweaty
"Look at this, the government is in cooperation with the other governments for worldwide genocide", yet years later, nothing ever happened
And the most annoying is that, typically your aunt/s or uncle/s are the one spreading this to your family group conversation. Like they are saying "Look at this, I am concerned about you guys so I will spread nonsense that may help you"
Yet there will be like this guys who were like "Those data's are made to make a full out of you" and will fully defend the claim that has one reference to defend from someone else vlog who believes the same thing as them
