The blurb suggests that this person writes specifically altruist articles (a suggestion that this is for the benefit of someone which by proxy suggests that it's telling the truth). Because opinions are subjective that conflicts with the context of the piece pretty harshly. It gives the idea that it may in some way be an opinion based in on fact when it simply isn't because it cites no factual data that can be quantified whatsoever. This is literally how misinformation is spread. It doesn't have to be outright lies in order to be damaging.
The article talks about how new safety measures could be developed. It's in the text. It just doesn't conclude anything or talk about any specifics. That's really my problem with it. What good is the opinion of the author? What are they basing this opinion on? There's no substance to this writing at all.
This is also an opinion from you. Where's your citation to support this statement? How do we know you're not contributing to misinformation here?
Possibly because you read the article. But whatever I guess. It is just my opinion, after all.
