Are we not living in 1984?
The Brave New World was/is a non-fiction.
The movie ‘Idiocracy’ has become a documentary.

I’m re-reading “1984”. It’s scary how much it resembles 2022.

This makes perfect sense when you consider Fakebook's definition of "misinformation."
Misinformation: anything said that contradicts a Democrat position or just makes a Democrat look bad.

***Facebook and the other social media have become traps for those who do not adhere to the party line.***
That’s Me! Four times last year, 5 times this year! I refuse to kowtow to FB joke of “standards” when I see far worse posted in memes on their web site.

‘The economist said his post “drew attention to the fact that [PolitiFact is] using political talking points in lieu of actual fact-checking. They’re stepping in and becoming partisan actors here.” ‘
They’re not “becoming” partisan, they’ve always been partisan.
To: jeff_clark
Well, the upside of this is that these “fact checkers” need to step in because every time the left was trying to debate on social media they were losing. The censorship is a desperation tactic from the losing side, and it’s a sign of their weakness. Don’t forget that.

“The problem is what happens when Trump is out of power and somebody else has control over it.”
Sounds like a great strategy: Never do anything against your enemy because the enemy may do something to you.
You should write a book.
