I'm sure that will go over well.

My point is that social media companies can decide if they want to take down misinformation.

That isn't being a dictator.

That you don't understand free enterprise.

  you know it's being filtered thru the white house, right?  that's not my kind of "free" enterprise.  i was trying to stay Apolitical and assuming you guys knew this.  better circle back and listen to the orange lady's presser

It's incredibly frustrating at this point to read things like that and know how helpful vaccinations are.  It doesn't eliminate the virus but it certainly mitigates it's potentcy.  I'm reading Michael Lewis' The Preminition and it's absolutely maddening

It's usually after something like this that the kids take away dad's keys and start looking for a nice living facility to put him in.

All the usual uber liberal posters here who despise anyone not as liberal as them, attack the messenger and fail to comment whatsoever on the substance of his post. Biden's WH actively working with Facebook in controlling the information that's posted would make heavy handed world dictators proud and line up well with their philosophy about free speech.

But none of you can defend that, so get your clever attacks at Rocket in. And now aim for me.  Have at it.   

[pbiflyer]

If you looked into PBI's allegations you'd realize he's not exactly telling the truth..  Unless making money on things mocking Fauci and wearing masks are now considered undermining vaccinations. While both the slogans of  "Don't Fauci florida" and "how can I drink my beer with a mask on" are incredibly lame/cheesy, I think it's also quite the stretch to suggest that's DeSantis downplaying vaccines.

Really? the guy who banned private companies from asking about vax status? The guy who refuses to disclose his vax status?
Explain exactly how mocking the guy who's main message is get vaccinated isn't undermining vaccinations.

[HutchwasClutch]

By the way, it's not Rocket or my theory WH is actively working with FB, Psaki proudly confirmed it being true.

I will defend it.

Facebook can do what they want.  They aren't "controlled by the government."  They are a private entity that is using government experts to determine which information posted to their site is misinformation or not.  They are under no government sanction if they keep misinformation up.  It is an entirely voluntary arrangement.  One which I applaud because it could save thousands of lives and end this pandemic way longer than it otherwise would because people have decided its better to lie to the American public for the sake of clicks and ratings than tell the truth and keep people healthy.

I guess you are another conservative who claims to understand the Constitution...but apparently doesn't really understand the Constitution.  But it's simply easier to parrot laughable lines like "heavy handed world dictators" than actually have the intellectual rigor to understand Constitutional law.
