Is changing a blog post after the fact unethical because someone who had linked to it on social media is fooled and looks bad?
Tim Pool makes
an interesting point about “stealth edits” by newspaper stories and probably
bloggers.
Someone writes
a reasonably factual blog post and others link to it. Later, after the links,
the blogger changes it and adds controversial political opinions. Then people
who linked to the post suddenly look bad because of after-the-fact changes.
I often make
later additions to blog posts, although usually not to change the tone of the article.
But sometimes a disturbing interpretation of a fact occurs to me later and I
add it.
