The first nominee for this administrations Attorney General repeatedly makes claims that COVID was just a cover for "Marshall" law.
This kind of thinking is normalized to the point that our attorney general was nearly a guy that believes it.

God damn, I'd love to see Dana White go on a rant during a Meta Board meeting
And everyone will ignore him, because the way Meta is structured the board has zero authority over Zuckerberg and his supershares

You also picked some extremely fringe cases. How many people do you know, in person, that do not believe Covid was real?
My elderly neighbor's, that my wife, despite my objections, invite over, are convinced COVID was an elaborate plan to defraud Trump. Not to mention the fact they unironically fly a veterans for Trump flag. The wife mentions a new relative every time that either died or got sick from 'COVID vaccinations'. Misinformation and disinformation are a very real and dangerous problem. Talking sense to them is an exercise is futility due to the amount of propaganda they consume. This is without even getting into my in-laws who in the last 8 years have not once not had Fox News on at least one TV when I enter their house at any time.

So you want to be the arbiter of what people say? You think you know everything?
Freedoms come with consequences.
Free speech allows for hate and idiots
The 2nd Amendment means people will die from guns
If you are willing to give up freedom because of the consequences associated with freedoms means you are missing the point …. or you just don’t like people having freedom because you don’t agree with them so you get to choose what’s right.

Only a child thinks in absolute terms. That if we have limits on "freedom" that we're all slaves. Every group, gang, club, organization, etc. etc. etc. has rules. Sometimes unspoken, but they still exist. People function best with them so there are no misunderstandings about what's considered right or wrong. Or are you arguing that you should get to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater for the lulz? Grow up.

God damn, I'd love to see Dana White go on a rant during a Meta Board meeting
The government made THOUSANDS of requests to Facebook to stifle free speech. That was just Facebook. They made THOUSANDS more with X. I’m sure Reddit had thousands also, but Reddit is still a cesspool of whiney angry people run by people who trust the government and probably have not admitted how many request were made.
Man, your trust in the government is astounding. I don’t care your political leanings as none of us should ever trust the government … ever.

Biden created a “Disinformation Advisory Board” that was defeated in federal court.
Zuckerberg himself said the government consistently made “requests” to ban accounts, collect data on people, or delete posts … in the name of “truth”
So yes, government tried and succeeded for years.
So, Biden tried something but it didn't work, and Zuckerberg said they tried something on a few occasions, and you're extrapolating this out entirely.
That feels rational to you?

It brings me much pleasure to see so many of y’all whine about this. Proves to me that many commenters here have no understanding how freedom works, or are just willing to give it up for “their” truth.
Flat earthers will rise again! Accept the community can now call them idiots and freely tell them to stuff it. How’s this bad?
Meta will still ban you for calling people idiots.
And flat earth has risen significantly because of the internet. So has more dangerous things, like the belief that COVID wasn't real, or that immigrants are eating cats, or that Andrew Tate is good for lonely young men.
Most attempts to stop this have failed, but at least something was being done.

Objective truths do exist, and the governments Ministry of Truth is not the arbiter of truth. They couldn’t define what a woman is? Perhaps they don’t understand objective truths?
Never, ever, give the government that power. Regardless of your political leanings, the powers that be can change and use all the tools you created against you.
The government wasn't doing this?

On one hand Meta shouldn't get to decide what "facts" are suppressed, they should just be a neutral platform, while on the other the upstream ISPs should have the power to decide what data gets prioritized or suppressed, and requiring them to be a neutral provider is fascist.

The amount of insanity in thecomments herenew government is rather impressive.
In the current political and social climate, don't be an aggressive monkey . Show that you have evolved that important thin sugar coating called civilization. Don't fall for the fools.
why is comments section mostly just posts that say:
Ignored
To view this user's posts click on the username.
so strange.

Community Notes is obviously the right move. Having s ministry of truth was so dumb. Who exactly fact checks the fact checkers?
First, do you agree there are objective facts?
