The statement 'You are spreading disinformation' is a direct accusation against the EU Commission, suggesting that their actions or statements are misleading or false. This is a part of a public discourse as it engages with a public issue concerning transparency and accountability of a major platform under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The tone is accusatory and confrontational, aiming to challenge the EU Commission's narrative.
- The statement does not strive to do no harm, as it accuses the EU Commission of spreading disinformation without providing evidence, potentially undermining trust in public institutions. [-1]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
- The statement does not engage in cyberbullying or hate speech, but it does not respect the dignity of the EU Commission by making an unsubstantiated accusation. [-1]Principle 2:I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
- The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, as it lacks evidence or reasoning to support the accusation and does not invite further discussion. [-2]Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
- The statement exercises free speech but does so irresponsibly by making an unsubstantiated claim, which could mislead the public. [-1]Principle 7:I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
