Have a look at the following video.
Over the years, Europe has maintained its sanity and sidled with logic. It acknowledged that fact that software patents must not exist. Some hypothesise (and almost even surmise) that Microsoft's timing in this attack was carefully planned as to manipulate discussions about (and possibly change) European patent laws.
Microsoft's claim that Linux infringes its patents was dismissed today as a tactic to spoil a European conference on rationalising the law on the subject.
There's no guarantee that writing the truth will result in an audience (or readership), but over time - in the long run - people generally gravitate towards what they know or feel to be crude truth, not just what's comforting (albeit false or self-deluding, usually groupthink dictated from above)
Democracy depends on free press and freedom of the press depends on being able to safely publish (and keep available) material that bad people don't want to be known to anybody
The Web is really getting bad; it's also overwhelmed by fake material or plagiarised material, wherein the plagiarism gets disguised/hidden by LLM sausage factories
