We keep reporting antivax 5G content on Facebook and the posts stay up. Same goes for entire groups dedicated to discouraging people from getting vaccinated through a constant stream of false information. This cancer of a service is destroying the minds of everyone around me.
- vmskLa 6y agoI kept reporting Fauci's original statement that masks don't work. The reports were flagged. Why bother about obvious nonsense like 5G conspiracies? It is the mainstream lies from both media and politicians that are report-worthy.
- dessant 6y agoBoth obvious nonsense and nuanced misinformation can be harmful, they are just targeting different audiences. Not sure why one has to pick and choose, you can report any content you deem harmful.
- throwaway3699 6y agoThe people around you need to apply critical thinking skills and stop believing anything on Facebook is real. We used to treat newspapers with the same suspicion, what changed? Facebook cannot be blamed, only society at large.

- throwaway3699 6y agoWhen I grew up, it was well known that most newspapers were propaganda rags. People bought them anyway but generally as entertainment.
- dessant 6y agoNewspapers can be legally liable when they knowingly spread false information. Facebook is profiting from and amplifying hateful content and false information, causing civil unrest, sickness and death, and the services they put up for users to report harmful content are not properly staffed and maintained.
