NEW: Elon Musk’s Starlink is being used at scam compounds that have fleeced billions from people around the world, a @WIRED investigation shows
Between November 2024 and Feb, hundreds of phones at eight scam compounds in Myanmar logged 40,000 uses of Starlink, mobile data shows

One angle to misinformation which probably needs more attention is the inability of people to understand the weedier mechanisms of relevance.
Saw an anti-solar screed citing all the toxic compounds in solar panels. Writer of said screed doesn't understand most panels don't use those compounds!

If you or someone you are protesting with gets hit by one of these compounds, knowing how to act can help alleviate symptoms and provide relief.

It appears to be some kind of problem that many exotic solar technologies we're experimenting with like thin-film and perovskite cells *do in fact* use toxic compounds, thus "solar panels use toxic compounds" is a true fact in isolation.
But in practice, those panels are rare in commercial use.
