Starlink is a subsidiary of SpaceX, which Elon Musk runs. https://t.co/0MORTIgqfJ

Snopes decided to use the missing dead occupants of the Titan submersible to totally not (wink-wink) blame the Elongated Muskrat for the tragedy.
On 20 June, they published an article asking "Was the Missing Titanic Submersible Using Satellites from Elon Muskβs Company?" and rating it "True". Wayback Machine has the record.
There's only one problem - Starlink satellite internet can't penetrate water.
They posted the article on twitter, and the Twittards let them have it, with tons of replies and then community notes.

We knew that years ago, matey.

The richest African-American himself soon piled on.

Snopes, had no choice to update the article to "False", with a misleading editor's note to obfuscate their frick-up.
Editor's Note: Since the original publication of this fact check on June 20, 2023, Snopes clarified its rating and text to make clear that β while OceanGate, the company overseeing the submersible's expedition, said it was using Starlink satellites for the trip β the submersible itself was not using the technology to communicate. How, or to what extent, the vessel's mothership was using Starlink to communicate remained unknown.
In a final addendum, The Daily Beast, proving yet again why jourmalists deserve everything they get in third-world countries, published an article to spread that misinformation and cover for Snopes.
Elon Musk used his favorite insult again on Wednesday, accusing the fact-checking site Snopes.com of running a βpsy opβ after it fact-checked links between the missing Titanic submersible and Muskβs Starlink satellite service.
The article from Snopes merely confirmed that OceanGate, the company behind the missing sub, relies on Starlink for communications on the vessel.

That part is wrong. They did a lot in the early days of the gay rights movements.

Point being, do we really need an organization to tell rightoids that homosexuals donβt actually reproduce by raping kids?
In my mind, anyone with their sensibilities will know this isnβt true, and the rest wonβt be swayed by some fact checking website

Everyone likes to forget that boy-lovers and paedo activists were considered a legitimate part of the gay rights movement of the 1980s. Take this journal article from 1986 which outlines:
All of that is thanks to the Queer theorists who were all paedophiles or paedophile supporters.
It wasn't until the mid 90s that gay rights activists came to their senses and disavowed the boy-lovers.

Naw, lesbians and feminists were trying to keep the pedos out of the movement the whole time. Dworkin despised them, iirc.
