How’s this not your lead story?
The trump word was missing.
So, people were dying because the new barrier to publishing misinformation is that you just have an email address. No printing presses, no fact-checking editors, no possibility of facing a liable suit and Facebook was “pressured” to not help kill people?!?!
Why does this even bear mentioning by a reputable news organization?
It “bears mentioning” because the fools in D.C. were CENSORING SPEECH AND SUPPRESSING EXPRESSION OF THOUGHT!!! For God’s sake, THINK!!!
No, the folks in Washington were trying to protect the health of the citizens of this country. If people started posting on Facebook and X and other social networks that it was okay to gargle bleach, or acid, to cure the common cold, wouldn’t you want someone to step in and try to put a stop to such garbage?
As interpreted by the US Supreme Court, liberals and conservatives, textualists and living document, there is broad agreement the government has the right to prohibit the expression of ideas when that expression poses a threat to the government or to the health and welfare of the citizenry. So, you can’t call for the overthrow of the government and expect to be protected by the First Amendment. You can’t yell fire in a public building (a theatre, in the relevant case), endangering the health and welfare of those in the building, and claim First Amendment protection. You can’t engage in public speech in such a fashion as to constitute harrassment (picketing the homes of doctors or public officials) and claim the protection of the First Amendment . I can’t defame you and plead First Amendment protection from court (government) action. And if some buffoon is out there spreading lies about a disease that has reached pandemic level and has caused the death of millions, they don’t get to go spreading misinformation that may lead to endangering the health and welfare of the citizenry and claim protection of the First Amendment.
You mean mis information like it was a leak from Wuhan laboratory in china? Which is now been proven to be true. Also you mean like how they were supposed to suppress the story about Hunter biden’s laptop as Russian collusion which now we know that was fake also and the laptop does exist and the information on it was correct with the big guy getting his 10%
Zuckerberg wants another Trump presidency and is taking every chance possible to help this effort. Like Trump, I believe little of what comes out of his mouth.
You know he’s ultra liberal and donated heavily to the Democratic cause in 2020 to get them elected?
