I think the reason why widespread misinformation on the internet bothers me so much (especially on Tumblr), is that it ends up causing so many people unneeded stress and anxiety over potentially bad and frightening news. Take some of the recent misleading/unsourced news about takedown notices here on tumblr. Now you have a lot of young people, many of which are dealing with conditions triggered by anxiety and distress, worried that their blogs will be deleted and all their hard work gone.
