Allow me to [quote myself](https://www.reddit.com/r/samharris/comments/ros4jt/peterson_has_gone_completely_off_the_rails/hqa9zt4/):

> _“This isn't about [Sam] Harris, [Jordan] Peterson, or Twitter — it's a more general point about the quality and usefulness of online discussions, and the accuracy and traceability of #information. As I said: when someone takes a screenshot, they have the #URL right there, at hand, to share with the world (in addition to the image itself, if necessary). Even if the cost for another person of looking for the source were equal to the cost of sharing the URL in the first place (which it is not), if one multiplies by the number of people who might be curious, or sceptical, or might want to reply to the tweet or boost it (all of whom will have to look it up on their own) it's much more efficient for the OP to provide the link in the first place. It's not like we're imposing an unreasonable burden with this rule. I am always amazed when people disagree with this recommendation.”_
