Many of the alternate treatments were widely decried by medical professionals as being unsafe.
Much of the discourse which Facebook and others ended up deciding they didn’t want on their platforms was tied to (or related to, or resulted in) the criminal conduct at the U.S. Capitol which has resulted in 10’s of people being imprisoned, and with many more criminal investigations and prosecutions still underway.
I don’t see why these platforms shouldn’t be allowed and indeed expected to moderate extreme behavior, or the advocacy of and incitement to criminal activities, or the promotion of medically unsafe treatments during a pandemic.
- zaroth 3y agoIf by “ended up deciding they didn’t want on their platform” you mean being told by the USG to remove it, and when they didn’t remove enough of it, the President called them mass-murderers and threatened to do something about it? The arrests of Jan 6 protestors, you mean like the “QAnon Shaman” who was guided through the Capital by police and had that evidence illegally withheld by the prosecution, and then when the truth came out was released?
