    You don’t and there’s no good way to reconcile my two opinions. I don’t disagree the archive should exist, I’m just saying, manipulating information is a valid reason, but the author’s bullying publishers for mistakes isn’t.

      Acknowledging literally every change after any news content is published in any context isn’t bullying anyone.

      It’s the absolute bare minimum to not be a piece of shit.

      There’s an easy way to reconcile them… The opinions are “articles should be backed up to prevent information manipulation, a threat to democracy” and “they should be able to hide their mistakes so they don’t get made fun of”

      You reconcile them by not letting them stealth edit, and you stand up for them when they made an honest mistake and are being blasted for it
