Manifesto
stop-the-bullshit aims to stop these websites:
[...] fake news = spam sites built from scripts consisting largely of a backcatalog nonsense stories ("Pope endorses Putin for US Presidential Election") with a one or two carefully produced fake stories as a "payload", instead of a purchasing call-to-action like other webspam sites. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12999887
I don't and won't care about websites that stretch the truth to accommodate an agenda, whichever the agenda. I also won't include satire websites, because my objective isn't teaching critical thinking, it's just filtering some spam.
