> Misinformation is killing people. How many? I don't think it's very many.

  Isn't one too many?

    You'd need to ban pretty much everything if that was the standard.

  Think of all the protest and conspiracy against Bill gates, 5G, think how many people are still gathering, not wearing any protection, think of how Trump compared it with just another flu, how it would just magically go away. I'd say misinformation indirectly killed thousands of people

  The ban is meant for 4chan-based messages like "drink bleach/rubbing alcohol/methanol to cure yourself now!", which have killed plenty of people.

    I think it's unfortunate that the population has become so stupid that we need to protect them from killing themselves by drinking household chemicals, based on tweets or whatever. I can't see and end game that's not terrible.

    Those are White House-based messages now. https://www.history.com/news/printing-press-renaissance https://www.history.com/news/printing-press-renaissance

    > The ban is meant for 4chan-based messages like "drink bleach/rubbing alcohol/methanol to cure yourself now!", which have killed plenty of people. How many? Give numbers. I don't think very many people followed that advice and got killed by it, and I cannot find any data that suggests otherwise.
