What would you like to see done about these 1st Amendment violations?

If you could go back in time to 2021, would you go back and tell the US government and/or Facebook (and other social media platforms) not to censor contents that discourage COVID-19 vaccination?

You're saying the quiet part out loud. It's OK for government to censor speech.

The community notes tool at TwiXtter is a fantastic tool. That's how you fight disinformation.
