The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

The apology in a new post, the error in the search results

2026NowDeadline · Within 30 days before the correction feature launches

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

The author acknowledged the wrong criticism, but many readers who met the old post in search never go looking for the new apology. Replacing the original reduces current exposure to the error, but makes it hard to check what was written in the past. Between the present reading and the record of past responsibility, in what form should the original and the correction and apology be kept?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Link the correction at the top of the original text

    Keeps both the record and the correction, but the correction may not reach external excerpts and old copies.

  2. Option 2

    Replace the original text with a revised version

    Reduces errors in present access, but may lose the original form of the past criticism and of accountability.

  3. Option 3

    Post a separate apology document

    Leaves a full explanation, but readers of the original post and readers of the correction may split.

The situation as it stands

An old post on the fictional service contained a wrong criticism, and the author acknowledged the error. Decision deadline: within 30 days, by the launch of the correction feature.

2026 synthetic scenario · A single apology is linked to old search results. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  1. Premise 1An old post on the fictional service contained a wrong criticism, and the author acknowledged the error.
  2. Premise 2Search shows only part of the original text, and many readers do not go looking for the new apology.
  3. Premise 3Replacing the original text fixes the wrong, but makes it hard to verify what was there and how it changed.

Where it holdsPast errors, apology, search links, and preservation of the record
