Sourcing just shifts the problem to having to verify the source though. Antivax people could easily cite thousands of sources. We’d know there bullshit, but some mod would be stuck needing to vet them.
It’s easy for common misinformation like antivax, but more unusual claims could easily be left around just because they have something seemingly relevant linked.
I don’t disagree with the idea, it just isn’t enough of a fix and would still require a lot of work.
Looking at how bad our current system is, there’s clearly no need to prevent the videos from getting out because the officer can get away with it despite that.
And even if the officer doesn’t, the department can just scapegoat them and just keep doing the same things.
All the more reason to not waste a 0-day or risk the knowledge of a backdoor getting out.
