LmaoI'm guessing you were unaware that FB is not a monopoly? Dont get silent on me now.If you are wondering..wellWhat's the relevance of a monopoly to my post?Just checkingYes why do you ask?ever hear of a monopoly?IMO its not a freedom of speech issue. If you break my rules while in my home I reserve the right to kick your ass out of my home. If you want freedom of speech on the internet start your own platform.The Internet is a powerful means of spreading information, but it's also a power means of spreading dangerous misinformation. And when that misinformation is accepted as fact and innocent people act on it and die is this not analogous to screaming fire in a crowded auditorium where there is no fire and many are trampled to death.
I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, there is a big difference between, the statements of opinion and fact, and between news and editorials. Just as there is a big difference between the statements, "In my opinion, we had many deaths due to covid-19 vaccines in the US. " and "5,250 people in the US have died due covid-19 vaccinations" The first statement is a personal expression of opinion and carries far less weight than the second which is declaration of fact.
IMHO, if we do no find a way to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation, it will eventually lead to government controlling media, not because of some sinister clandestine organization or some world goverment, but because the people will demand it.

Platforms that allow the spreading of dis-information should be sanctioned if they are not willing to limit the spread of disinformation themselves. The regulatory bodies have a role to play in this. They are not doing it.

I don't subscribe to the "do nothing because what if" method of problem solving. That's called analysis paralysis. There is a tried and true method of problem solving. Form a plan. Implement the plan. Analyze the results to see what you can do better. Wash and repeat.What to do when the misinformation comes from those who are claiming they are trying to stop the 'misinformation'?
The single greatest control of misinformation is gaslighting those who would tell the truth and claim they are misinforming people.
He who controls the spice controls the universe.
That would only be true if FaceBook was the only news media in town.Fascitbook joining the feds to decide for everyone else what is "misinformation" or not is straight out of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.Ever hear of MySpace?

Facebook, or any other website, censoring content is an entirely different matter. Really has nothing to do with the OP. Kinda the opposite really.
