In the days of old, the press would coordinate regularly with the feds regarding WWII coverage.
Yes, I'm aware of that. Have they
admitted tobeen doing any censorship between 1945 and 2021?70 years ago, it was a matter of national security. And now you're censoring cranks on Faceypage?

Accepting their premise, I'd say global health is at least as important as national security.

@aqua-letifer oh, the other thing is that this (sorta) speaks to Trump's suit against the big social media companies with respect to free speech.
A private entity is not subject to 1st amendment because it's not "the government." They can censor whomever they want. Once they "start working with the government," I believe that changes everything.

That was my personal ethical boundary that I think they crossed. Unfortunately, no laws for that, except maybe trust-busting.

I think we need novel legislation for the internet.
It’s different enough that it warrants original legal thinking.
The old trust and monopoly frameworks were made for a different time and different problem.

Uh, no. In the days of old, the press would coordinate regularly with the feds regarding WWII coverage.
I'm not saying I like the above, but calling it fascism is histrionic AF.

Working with the press to fashion your message is one thing but working with a media platform to censor and remove contradictory news, thoughts, and information? That is fascism right to the core. Removing “wrong” thought.

I can't say for sure, but it would totally not surprise me if such coordination has gone on on the regular since WWII. Vietnam, especially pertaining to the unrest; the pandemic, and for certain over the Trump candidacy and even more certainly over his time in the White House.
ETA: Probably govt and the press have been complicit any number of times to conceal various shenanigans deemed harmful if they got out.

Again, conspiring with media to craft a message is one thing, conspiring with platforms to remove contradictory messages is another.

These aren't "contradictory views," there's absolutely insane shit being promoted out there that's causing people to not get vaccinated. That puts them, everyone around them, and everyone else still living at greater risk.

@aqua-letifer batshit? Like the virus escaped from the lab? That’s one of the batshit (kind of appropriate) contradictory ideas that has been removed.
How about natural immunity? Test after test has shown that people that have had the virus have as good of an immune response or better than those with the vaccines, yet those posts have been flagged recently. Info on various treatments that are still being tested get’s flagged. Let’s not even talk about the arguments over anti-malarials. There are credible tests and scientists disputing one another on this, but one side doesn’t match the message so they are batshit crazy…

Fucking shit. Yes that's exactly what I had in mind when I said batshit crazy. Thank you for filling in the blanks so accurately.
You know if you want to talk to a proxy for liberal politics be my guest but that's not me, so I'll let you carry on, you're doing fine by yourself.
Please love yourself.

An acquaintance of mine had his sharing privileges removed yesterday for trying to share this video. It’s kind of stupid, but does not justify administrative sanction -

Link to videoThat's a fine story and I enjoyed it.
JP Spears is the same motherfucker who claimed nearly everyone who was dying of COVID had insufficient Vitamin D. Oh, and he was also a speaker at this bullshit. From the website:
Learn to legally protect yourself from forced vaccinations, mask mandates, and other forms of medical tyranny.
From his video on "How to Be Mind-Controlled":
I want to be heavily vaccinated so I can be protected from the diseases that I’ve been told to be extremely afraid of.
Please, do go on about innocent ol' JP and how is videos are just funny and silly and you live in a fascist demon-rat autocracy, it's hilarious.
Please love yourself.

But how do we best deal with this?
