[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zuck thinking he was the authority in determining what pandemic information was true while the too health experts all over the world were still trying to figure it out.

Remember the “Plandemic” video that he allowed to go viral all over his platforms? Yeah, that’s what was circulating during the time in question.

People need to learn what free speech actually means. [b]It does not mean you get to pick your truth and spread it far and wide with no consequences or pushback. [/b]

It does when you are talking about consequences or pushback from the government, and Zuckerberg has made clear he was pressured by the Biden team to silence voices on his platform.[/quote]

It does not. That’s the first thing you learn in law School. No right is absolute. That’s why the government can punish hate speech. And why you can be liable for yelling “fire” in a crowd when there is t one. Those are just examples and spreading false information about a public health crisis falls into that realm imo. [/quote]

It is legal to say untrue things. Are you suggesting it's not?

Also, MZ was clear that he was being pressured to censor true things so this is nonsequitor. We all know that censorship of things like Hunter's laptop and the lab leak theory were censored well after they were known to be true or at least plausible.

Masks are another good example, and one that MZ brought up in the interview. At first Fauci said masks were unnecessary and ineffective, because he wanted to make sure there would be enough for medical workers. Then he said they are absolutely necessary and everyone should wear one. So what is the right thing for social media companies to censor? Which of Fauci's contradictory statements? For a while on Facebook, you couldn't even *quote Fauci* on his early statements about masks because that was "misinformation."  You can't pretend this isn't ridiculous. Everyone can see it's ridiculous. [/quote]
