How would one cite a personal belief?
2 comments

For example pointing to the research confirming that Veracrypt is not secure somehow (if such belief has any justification in facts).
Then say that.

Sorry, I just hate how overused that meme is as it's rarely helpful and doesn't add to the conversation.

I would say being skeptical and calling out FUD is more helpful than being silent and letting people believe them.
Presumably by explaining what lead to said belief.

I wouldnt of used the citation needed here meme personally, but i think its clear the poster is just asking why it should not be trusted.
