Check them out for right left bias. Are they mentioning getting drugs cheaper from Canada or otherwise by mail? Or insulin? These are the previous two items that have been discussed at length.

    If so, why nothing on abortion pills which is a liberal topic? Been years since I mucked snout with Facebook and I was merely thinking of the legal drug stories of recent time.

      Follow a few of the links. Facebook in reality has a conservative bias, actually boosting conservative causes. Zuckerberg cultivated Trump. See also Cambridge Analytica and their Trump ties.

Facebook are a law unto themselves. There are no rules involved. They block what they feel like blocking. As such they are in common with all the rest of the social media sites (HN included). If you must have free speech, you must exclude yourself from social media.
