I think this is a mistake. They already issued one correction from "20-member" to "20,000-member". The author seems to have serious problems with numbers. Look at the first paragraph: > Facebook Inc took down a popula

The thing that gets me is that they don't ban specific people, it's always the entire community that gets taken down. But totally nothing to see here, guys.

We unfortunately don't have enough power to destroy all frameworks, so you might be saying this to the wrong people. Say that to those who abuse them instead.

I get that people are pissed, but this is exactly the same thing that the Qanon idiots were doing - going along with the wildest theories and calling anyone who questioned them complicit. By doing so, they destroyed their entire movement an

I don't know if that's a positive, but companies like Google often cave to the mob and the press demanding deplatforming of certain individuals. If they remove the ratings then that will just prove, once again, what their allegian

I'm right, because what I'm saying is reasonable. Recreational drugs are not necessary for you to survive and thus you shouldn't risk using them if there is a possibility of them ruining your life. It's common sense. edi
