Free speech is a two-way street. You can say whatever you want, but people are free to challenge what you've said and call it out for bullshit. You don't want "free speech", you want consequence-free speech.

And the problem with FB is more than allowing the speech. It’s the algorithm. They know it took about 7 days for a “Christian woman in SC” user to be prompted to join Q Anon groups and other insanity. They willfully radicalized millions of people all over the world. They are not innocent bystanders. They didn’t care what happened, as long as it meant users spent more time on their website.

This comment needs to be pinned. People don’t understand the power of algorithms. Scary!

My father-in-law stays up til 4AM going down rabbit holes of garbage fed to him by algorithms. My cousin almost died because she and her husband went down the QAnon anti-vax "covid is a hoax" rabbit hole.

There are people willfully and intentionally trying to destroy America with this garbage.

Exactly. Zuck is basically admitting he was censoring on the Biden’s administration’s behalf, but he won’t being doing the same for Trump.

He needs to get richer so he needs to call Dumpy master

Yes it is. It absolutely is, because who decides what is misinformation?

I’m old enough to remember when women claimed that the Covid vaccine was messing with their menstruation and it was censored and labeled misinformation.

Turned out to be true!

My uterus is MY source. After my 2nd Moderna shot in 2021, I skipped two periods, then had short duration periods every 14-16 days, for several months.

That was some scary sh*t.

LOL "scary sht". I can see why no one took you seriously.

Let’s see if you believe in science. Linked is a study by NIH that shows the Covid vaccine caused menstrual issues.

Menstrual abnormalities after COVID-19 vaccines: A systematic review

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9683843/#:~:text=Conclusion,menorrhagia%2C%20metrorrhagia%2C%20and%20polymenorrhea.

OMG!!! YOU HAD SEVERAL IRREGULAR PERIODS!!! SOOOOOOOO SCARY!!!

GTFO.

Proving the point perfectly. Women are speaking up about the symptoms and getting smeared accordingly (only for a few years later, the medical establishment to say “well actually yes, there are impacts on the menstrual cycle after all that we didn’t know about or disclose in the vaccine risk factor paperwork you signed”).

+1 I was done having kids, but if I were trying to conceive, especially if I was having trouble conceiving, the months my period was erratic after the vaccine would have been a very big deal to me.

A big deal to you doesn’t mean it’s a big deal in the grand scheme. Your doctor would have reassured you that things would go back to normal within a few months. Women trying to conceive get a little crazy about it (I remember this when going through it myself) and sometimes lose perspective. The vaccine was not and is not a threat to women’s fertility. If you are so easily manipulated that you now have distrust in the medical community over this, you have bigger problems.

Is it really so hard to say that tech companies shouldn’t be censoring true information?

It isn’t up to facebook to decide whether something is a “big deal” or not. I will decide for myself whether something is important to me.

Hunter’s laptop is a perfect example. It revealed a candidate’s son committed numerous crimes just before an election. Whether that is important or not is up to individuals to decide, but Facebook censored it.

Facebook should not have been censoring true information, period.

All the laptop proved was that he had a drug problem and lied on his 4473.

The right wing LIED ITS ASS OFF about the laptop claiming it held evidence of vast corruption and millions of dollars flowing to Joe Biden from China and elsewhere, along with LIES about child porn and everything else. None of those things turned out to be true about the laptop.

Stop being so self-righteous about the laptop. You spread a TON of lies about it.

I am neither “right wing” nor did I spread any lies about it.

Whether or not Hunter’s actions or crimes are of concern is solely at the discretion of each individual/voter.

I am old enough to remember front page news stories about George W Bush’s daughters drinking underage… was that news? Certainly the NYT/Washington Post/etc thought so at the time.

The simple fact is that the laptop was real and Facebook censored it, falsely claiming it was misinformation.

And I'll just add, I'm skeptical. I dont know much about QAnon but I do remember it wasnt around when the covid vaccine came out. I double checked my math and it's true. Qanon stopped posting regularly in 2020.

That’s totally fair. But if you want to put in partisan fact checkers that put out false information (i.e., Covid had nothing to do with Wuhan laboratories) or if you want to suppress speech by manipulating your algorithms to silence opposing points of view without disclosure or under government pressure, that’s not practicing the two way street.

Which was it? I seem to recall the right wingers all saying it was because of the Wuhan wet market, with snarky comments about "bat soup" and everything else, as opposed to a lab in Wuhan. So the right wing was putting a lot of false information out there. At the time no solid connection had been made other than hat it appeared to have something to do with Wuhan.

Meanwhile did censorship about Wuhan get anyone killed? No. Covid had already spread around the globe long before anyone on the right even said the word Wuhan.

Instead all of the anti-vax, "it's a hoax" and fake/unproven "cures" et cetera disinfo that the right wing definitely DID get people killed.

It was the scientists insisting covid came from a wet market. From the beginning, right leaning sources had concerns about the virology lab and its vicinity to where the symptoms first were reported, and were asking questions about why China was restricting so much information. So that answers question one.

As for question two, it’s a matter of resources and ethics. Just as an example, it costs money to investigate animal reservoirs for diseases - capturing bats and other animals, and testing and running genetic profiles. Diversion of valuable research dollars into a pit is a problem.

Secondly, there are the ethics involved of running a social media company and squashing free speech, which is the point of this thread. It was not misinformation to question the origins of covid, and Zuckerberg was wrong to silence those voices.

Wrong. The laptop was real. The NY Post reported so. Facebook (and Twitter etc) squashed those posts and made it “misinformation.” NY Post refused to retract and was kicked off Twitter. All of this was inexcusable. Twisting this into somehow being the right wing’s fault is patently absurd.

I agree the algorithm power is scary and frankly my issue with it is the lack of disclosure and informed consent of users being subjected to it.

But that’s not really the focus of this thread.

So Zuckerberg was a stupid as Jobs and wouldn't get proper medical treatment?

If "the cover-up is the issue," then I have to assume that you are equally bothered by Trump's cover up of his dalliance with a pornstar a month before a presidential election in which he was running by getting his attorney to pay hush money to the porn star to buy her silence. Or is that different ethically?

I had to create a FB account to connect with a group I joined and, by default, FB pushes a constant stream of conspiracy theories and rando AI content.

It’s scary that they are doing this to millions of people.
