This sort of hearsay framing is a dangerous rhetorical device employed by populists. Consider Donald Trump. +

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
