> talk about the Wuhan lab
When this is just coded language meaning "racist conspiracy theories", sites don't want to carry those posts. Social media sites are catching on to the coded language game.
- willcipriano 4y agoIf you want to make noticing that a few miles up the road from the epicenter of the COVID outbreak was a lab, doing experiments with that very virus, a racist act. I'd then make that claim that those who consume furry porn are pedophiles with greater accuracy.
- themitigating 4y agoShow me where someone who made the accusation about the lab was banned from a site for making that accusation and nothing else.

- giantrobot 4y agoAh yes, great examples. The people were clearly only pointing out that COVID originated from the same city where a virology lab exists...wait a second, they're both promulgating the "China made COVID" line. There's a big difference between saying COVID originated from Wuhan and conspiracy theories saying COVID was manmade.
