“We don’t even need to do a fact check to know that this is fake news,” a young protester told Reuters. “The state media doesn’t care about its credibility. Whenever something they claimed to have heard on WhatsApp or friends’ friends, they will spread it right away.”

I love these people from Hong Kong, but I greatly fear for their future. China is ruthless.

“Facebook refused requests for comment on whether China Daily’s post violated its policies.”

That’s the kick in the teeth right there.

Deliberate lies and distortion by a state media organization and Facebook allows it stay.

But woe to those who have mainstream conservative opinion in the US.

Yes, Facebook is not just the public square where people get to say whatever they want, with no liability being assigned to Facebook.

No. They edit and curate the allowed information on their platform and should not be protected by Section 230 any longer.

Patriotic Americans could learn a few things here.

Tyranny is always banging at your door.

Liberty requires Eternal Vigilance.

Thank God we still have the 2A, or what’s left of it after almost a century of being chipped away at.

Thank you.

If China rolls over them, we ought to bring them here. they’d be much more productive, compatible immigrants than the illegal invaders.

Them and the South African farmers.

IIRC, after 9/11, the Chinese government allowed sales of exploitative videotapes glamorizing the terrorist attacks.
