Snopes is at it again: Publishes a false "fact" check about the Titanic submersible to dunk on Musk

https://twitter.com/snopes/status/1671360746670678018

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 Musk’s 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.

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 β€œpsy op” after it fact-checked links between the missing Titanic submersible and Musk’s 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.

no lgbt organisation has ever come out in favour of pedophilia

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 don’t actually reproduce by raping kids?

In my mind, anyone with their sensibilities will know this isn’t true, and the rest won’t be swayed by some :marseysoyseethe: fact :marseysoypoint2: checking :soysnoo: 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:

A history of literature and views existing within the COC (Cultural and Recreational Center), the major Dutch organization of homosexual men and women... the homosexual identify is by no means a "constant" but a fluid identity, based on societal views and conditions. By accepting pedophilia, the COC hopefully will broaden the idea of the gay identity.

:!marseyyikes::marseywoodchipper2:

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.
