Polymarket condemns threats to journalist over Iran missile reports

Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction market platform, has condemned the threats and harassment directed at Emanuel Fabian, a military correspondent for The Times of Israel, the newspaper reported. Some users of the platform allegedly pressured Fabian, including issuing death threats, to alter his reporting on Iranian missile attacks in Israel in an attempt to win their bets. A spokesperson for Polymarket stated that the credibility of independent reporting is the foundation for prediction markets and that any attempt to pressure journalists to change their coverage undermines both journalism and the markets themselves.
