My feedback for this is that maybe the OTW should reconsider how their privacy policies are written. If someone posted misinformation, and anyone else saw it before it was taken down, and the OTW refuses to address the claim because of the privacy policy, it could weaken trust even more. (ie. If someone made a false claim about what was said in an email, and someone saw it and backed up the post elsewhere and spread it around, only for the news moderation team to remove the comment, it's not going to look like you are combatting misinformation, it's going to look like you are silencing criticism.)
Im not saying make everything public, of course not. Im just saying there should be some kind of mechanism or policy built that would allow you to address certain things in certain specific cases if certain criteria are met, etc. Especially in cases where the involved party(s) are publicly stating that the information can be released.
