I turn on cnn every day and have seen more disinformation than I can discuss here. Just look at the “horse paste” story with Joe Rogan or the “Russian disinformation” hunter Biden laptop. You do realize YouTube promotes that content? “Disinformation” is a Marxist / Soviet / Maoist term used to discredit the truth that hurts them. There may be legitimate “disinformation”, but who determines that? That’s why we have free speech, the US entrusted people to decide. Generally, people can, what’s currently being censored are often not lies.

Please don't whatabout this. Unless CNN also amplify genocidal speech, those are really not the same. And as the GP said, Facebook is kind of a town square - you don't agree with CNN, you don't watch it. Many people need to use Facebook to interact with family, friends, community. > Generally, people can, what’s currently being censored are often not lies Really? Covid being a hoax, Pizzagate, QAnon, Earth being flat, the horse paste / HCQ debacles, etc. There were QAnon related protests in Germany. If people were capable of deciding, how is that possible?

  > Unless CNN also amplify genocidal speech That would be against the law if it was directed, no? Also, QAnon actually promoted “doing nothing and waiting” it wasn’t genocidal at all. CNN, MANBC and the like have been demonizing half the US for years. Some people on their programs have called for re-education camps — https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1348974982483894276 https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1348974982483894276 Other programs blame the “unvaccinated” for getting the “vaccinated” sick, etc. this is all pretty bad.. Regardless, the following statement from yourself, is why it’s the town square: > Many people need to use Facebook to interact with family, friends, community. If you’re compelled to use it and it’s the only way to interact, it has become the town square.

    > blame the “unvaccinated” for getting the “vaccinated” sick This is accurate though.
