R0050/2026-03-31-02/Q003/H3¶
Statement¶
The taxonomy has had no meaningful adoption — it remains a one-time academic publication without subsequent integration into any practice.
Status¶
Current: Eliminated
Supporting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| None | Evidence clearly shows widespread adoption |
Contradicting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC02-E01 | First Draft trained 37+ newsrooms using the framework |
| SRC03-E01 | EU adopted the terminology in official policy |
| SRC01-E01 | Commissioned by Council of Europe, widely cited |
Reasoning¶
The taxonomy has been cited thousands of times, adopted into EU policy, used for newsroom training globally, and its terminology (mis/dis/malinformation) has become standard vocabulary. H3 is clearly eliminated.
Relationship to Other Hypotheses¶
H3's elimination confirms meaningful adoption exists, supporting H2 over both H1 and H3.
