Facebook continues to stifle the marketplace of ideas: When it comes to COVID, Facebook uses its "fact-checkers" to ensure that the only voice allowed is that of the Biden administration.

I'm not a scientist, a doctor, or an expert in viruses or pandemics.  I didn't even finish college.  When I form an opinion about something in one of those disciplines, I must rely on experts in the field, but I try to be judicious in the information I gather.  I look at the source material and the experts' credentials, and I consider what ulterior motives said experts may have when they share their conclusions.  All of this is to say that I felt myself to be on safe ground when I shared an article on Facebook that Dr. Robert Malone wrote.

Dr. Malone discovered in vitro and in vivo RNA transfection, which is the process of artificially introducing nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into cells, utilizing means other than viral infection.  Dr. Malone is the inventor of mRNA vaccines, which he developed at the Salk Institute in 1988.  Whatever you may think of mRNA vaccines, I think it is safe to say Dr. Malone is a genuine expert in this field and that he knows something about how viruses work.

Not according to Facebook.  I received a warning from Facebook, and, although it did not delete my post sharing Dr. Malone's article, Facebook labeled it as partly false information:

The fact-checkers upon whom Facebook relied are Angéline Rouers, an immunologist and research fellow at the Infectious Diseases Labs of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore; Dale Fisher, a professor of medicine at the National University of Singapore who specializes in infectious diseases; and Emma Hodcroft, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern in Switzerland.  I cast no aspersions on the knowledge of these experts.  They seem to be intelligent people who are well informed in their various fields.

Well now, how many LAWSUITS CAN WE EXPECT?

If that’s not discrimination I don’t know what is.

It’s not the voice of the Biden administration. It is the voice of his handlers, who appear to be throwing him and Kamala under the bus as I type this.

They are the real threat. He’s merely their puppet that brings with him the added benefit of convincing us that what we are seeing is not a carefully crafted plan, but mere incompetence.

WHY is anyone on the right still on Fakebook? I know you will argue it is for your “company” and you only use it for getting the message out on your business or whatever. That they are active in working against what you believe is no concern to you. You still are supporting them, you are still giving them access to data to sell YOU. You are their key product.

Get off FACEBOOK and TWITTER and GOOGLE and YOUTUBE. They are the enemy. If you haven’t figured it out yet, you are the problem.

A few years ago FB and the other Big Social Media met with obammy. They did not talk about the color of the scroll bars on their web pages. They were told to use their facilities to assure that only CorrectSpeech was put in front of the public’s eyes. And they did just that, and blocked truth and promoted falsehoods.

Big Social Media cooperates willingly because they share the same goals of destroying the world’s first and only successful country in thousands of years.

Since the covid crisis was the backdrop for the collectivization of this country, Big Social Media gave it their hearty support.

This is absolutely disgusting.

Heck I watched a YouTube video wherein COVID was MENTIONED incidentally that it caused disruption in business, not to be critical, but just did.

YouTube flagged it as possibly misleading.

It is absolutely absurd how they deign to warn us about any possibly “wrong” items re COVID or Biden’s election.

Facebook was never a marketplace of ideas. That is the lie they told their fools/”subscribers” in order to get personal data and pictures — and make it all their own. Think Pravda.

CDC spokesman in JUNE saying boosters may show increased side effects.

Can someone save that video? My PC isn’t letting me.

If you have Windows 10, press the Windows key and the letter “G” key at the same time and a video recorder appears. Putting the video in fullscreen mode first for best results.

I am in a post about censorship and the chinese virus at the nextdoor.com site and it usually is deleted after a day or less if you go against their narrative but it has been 3 days and dozens and dozens of posts. You would not believe the ‘karens’ (includes guys) that want masks all the time and one shot after another and they do not believe anything including the CDC data showing deaths and injuries. They just love scolding people.
