How was any of that censored? I definitely have seen all that. One of those is actually a major trial that had coverage all over any platform.

Rittenhouse: "Facebook announced Wednesday that it will no longer block search results for “Kyle Rittenhouse” and will no longer remove posts praising his actions. Following an incident in August 2020 in which Rittenhouse shot three individuals in self-defense, killing two of them, Facebook initially blocked search results for Rittenhouse’s name and removed posts supporting him, explaining that the incident was a “mass murder” and that Rittenhouse was placed on Facebook’s “dangerous individuals and organizations” list."[0] Biden laptop: "Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey acknowledged during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday that the social media giant was wrong to block New York Post tweets about Hunter Biden in the run-up to the Nov. 3 election."[1] Lab leak: "Facebook will no longer remove posts referencing the origination theory that COVID escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, a company spokesperson told Politico Wednesday. This step marks a policy reversal from February, when Facebook announced it would root out what it called false and misleading health claims including those suggesting that “COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured.” The tech company maintained a list of debunked assertions during the pandemic in consultation with global health advisers."[2] [0]https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/facebook-will-no-longer-censor-search-results-posts-praising-kyle-rittenhouse/ar-AARmY6q https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/facebook-will-no-longe...

  And yet i definitely saw posts before and during the trial. I wonder what the actual content of the posts that were being blocked was.

    Know what posts you appearently didn't see? The ones where Facebook announced they were censoring that sort of thing. If you want a walled garden, fine that is your right. What you lose is the ability to claim that you are a hub of speech and debate, you become network television instead of Speakers Corner. The next revolution won't happen within your walls, you are where ideas will go to die.
