I note that this disclaimer does *not* say the contents of the pages
are opinion, and refers to them as "information", a word usually
taken to imply the factuality (ordinary sense of "fact", not
trial lawyer's sense of "fact") of the content: information is
knowledge of a particular kind, and what is knowledge must be true
(otherwise it is indeed mere opinion or belief).
