I am really disappointed with how Facebook may have helped the CCP avoid transparency and accountability. An entire year has gone by with posts about various origin hypotheses being censored or limited in some way. I’m not sure what the extent of Facebook’s actions were, but given the recent leaks from Project Veritas (https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-facebook-whistleblowers-expose-leaked-internal-docs-detailing-new/ https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-facebook-whistl...), it seems the company regularly practices incredibly broad and purposeful manipulation of public opinion. Let’s call this practice what it is: propaganda.
Imagine what could have happened if people could more freely discuss theories like the lab leak hypothesis. Perhaps international pressure would have mounted and a more meaningful independent investigation could have been held quickly, by mid 2020. Now it is too late for a real investigation since any evidence could’ve been removed or just lost. Millions of people died. Thanks to Facebook and other tech platforms normalizing censorship, we may never get the truth here and all those who were harmed will be denied justice. Shame on Facebook.
