Perpetual-tourism misinformation controversy
The Costa Rica Star published an old and inaccurate article suggesting imminent changes to Costa Rica's perpetual-tourism rules. After readers raised concerns, the publication said the item was a social experiment intended to show the dangers of misinformation. The explanation generated further criticism, and a reader organized a petition urging advertisers to boycott the site.
