I'm caught up in the narrative of looking at all the data and comparing with relevant perspectives. Thanks for yours and your input.

Those numbers seem to match the numbers from the site I posted. The rational ground site also shows the numbers in relation to capacity. You can filter by state. Based on the numbers and your original post, it doesn't seem to be a st

Even Facebook itself doesn't have this viewpoint. They are openly acknowledging they want to influence behavior in the real world outside of the mere use of just the Facebook app.

The real problem is that no company is qualified to be the moral arbiter of all society. All such attempts are doomed to fail as the only success will be the furtherance of our dystopia.

We didn't have leaky vaccines for smallpox. These vaccines work substantially different than previous generation vaccines. How do you explain covid still spreading in Gibraltar which is 100% vaccinated? How do you explain Sweden which

Propaganda works best through fear. Fear results in cognitive dissonance making it literally impossible to process information correctly. Somehow the fear needs to be addressed first and I as of yet haven't found any particular great

It is because these vaccines are very weak or leaky vaccines. They don't stop spread. This enhances the selective pressure. A related short discussion on the matter https://odysee.com/@DarkHorsePodcastClips:b/Nat

Reality often astonishes theory. Sweden, Gibraltar and Israel would like to have a discussion with this science.

And what if it is exactly the opposite of that? The evolutionary mechanism of viruses predicted this outcome. Selective pressure (vaccines) enhanced the evolution. https://odysee.com/@DarkHorsePodcastClips:b/Natural-Vs

The problem is none of this ever appears impartial even if we assume they are trying. One person can say exactly the same thing as another and only one of them is banned. So judgement is not applied equally. It is the same issue across al

It is far beyond reasonable expectations that FB can be a neutral arbitar of all information. Not only are they not qualified, as you state even the "experts" change minds, disagree etc. Having so much power to decide or influence

Yes, what is bound by law is not an option. However, in most cases the law should handle it. Meaning that the post remains unless some legal action is taken as the host often can't just know the legal status except in the more obviou

Excellent post! Yes, Facebook has found itself wielding power that it could have never imagined. Nobody is prepared or qualified for that kind of power. That's why it took 700 years from the Magna Carta until the US Constitution to f

Censoring that is in your control is filtering. Yes this is needed. Nobody wants censoring that is not in your control.

People do leverage Facebook's claims when they align with their own. You are probably right in that it doesn't directly change anyone's opinion that disagrees. However, it does reinforce confirmation bias. Those that align

The view of "if we just implement it right" it will be fine is a fallacy. These organizations represent immense power through influence. By their very existence arises the conflict power and truth. If you can have influence over

It is exactly what they are doing. You are playing with semantics. The public as well as private companies use the claims as an argument for validation of truth. The troubling aspect is it comes with some level of authority backing the cl

How to propose there is a middle ground? What everyone imagines is that if we only censor what is reasonable to censor it will be fine. The fallacy is that we always view this from our personal perspective, yet we will not be the ones who

You only have two choices, let all information be available regardless of whatever downside there may be, given that at least you still have some control over how to deal with that, or live in a truly Orwellian society in which you have no

Yes, it does state that. However, there is the word 'and' between detection and differentiation. The original could not detect, so therefore differentiation is a moot point. Also, the test for flu was a separate test. So it woul
