Pressure mounts on Facebook and Google to stop anti-vax conspiracy theories
- towaway1138 8y agoIs this even beneficial? I was exposed to the "conspiracy theory" known as phrenology as a teenager. Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing to have a teacher point out that the whole thing was bullshit. But it also pretty much inoculated for a lifetime against this sort of thing.
- luckylion 8y agoI don't know how big the anti-vax problem actually is in the US, but it feels a bit like "hey, here's a group we can all agree has stupid ideas, let's all shit on them and come together". Using Google & FB to actively manipulate (parts of) the population and censor content seems like a door we don't want to open. Next up: smokers. People who think taxation is theft. Whoever my political opponent is.
