Necessary background: The Fake 'Door Sign' Used to Frame Richard Stallman and Misrepresent Him One Year Ago (the Media Never Corrected This Slanderous Allegation)

Still uncorrected today (in site that takes Microsoft money to run Microsoft pieces)

Why (Almost) Everyone Wants Richard Stallman Canceled

So they know they got it wrong, but the headline, summary and photo remain intact. Why still show this photo?

Deepfakes are BAD, no doubt about it. This MICROSOFT-SPONSORED site is STILL (in 2024) showing the deepfake EQUIVALENT against Richard Stallman (RMS). This sign is NOT his. It's vandalised. We also know who led this campaign of defamation against RMS. None of them got punished or even reprimanded for it (some worked for IBM and Google at the time).

This is defamation in a Microsoft-funded site and its author "is currently based in London" (where some Microsoft-connected thug decided to sue pro-RMS people).
