This is always a conversation starter. I will say, I'm not sure if it's a lack of imagination or what, but everyone questions censorship and no one questions where the line gets drawn in terms of misinformation and social media.

Yes, if censorship goes overboard, we can turn into 1984 or CCP as a worst case scenario... but is it possible that there is a worst case scenario for misinformation that we are hurtling towards unless we put measures into place? Is it possible that some censorship is a good thing a la post-Nazi Germany? They have seen the problems of misinformation in a way that the US never has.

We are living in a time where people are willingly dying because of misinformation and yet, the conversation drifts towards the opposite extreme, (which is currently a hypothetical) of mass censorship.

Anti-black white racists can go unchecked 24/7 though, and post their vitriol with little to no repercussion.

Lol. The lines been drawn for centuries. You can’t go into a crowded theater and yell fire; this isn’t censorship. It’s a private platform banning people for posting stupid shyt. Happens all the time.

you can’t promote dangerous activities in public and then cry about it when these dumbasses get bushed

Funny part is I been taking herbs since I was a 4 year old child for my asthma. My mom and a holistic pediatrician my parents got me would do this for my asthma to prevent me from being addicted to asthma medication. Sometimes kids can get addicted to it because often times the doctors prescribe kids to take the medication 2 to 3 times a day. But once they stop taking it their breathing gets worse.

Anyway I would mention that I took herbs for asthma to my friends over the years and some thought I was crazy and herbs were dumb.

Now since covid vax came out a few of my friends that thought herbs were crazy have now all of a sudden become herb specialists. :mjlol:Talking about how they been taking herbs for decades and don't need the vax. Then when I ask them what books they read up on the herbs from (there are actually herb books one of the most famous is back to eden which is like over 100 years old). They slip up and mention it was some herb on Facebook that someone mentioned that they are taking in place of the vax. :lolbron:

Damn asthma is a motherfukker breh, wishing you good health. Yeah I have sickle cell so I have to get bloodwork done often to make sure things are looking okay and to hopefully catch anything severe before it happens. I mention it in every anti vax thread I see that I've had acute chest syndrome( a bad case of rona is x10 worse than this) before and it almost bodied me. Not being able to breathe is a fukking terrifying feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone. It legit felt like my lungs were getting stabbed with every breathe along with that weighted feeling like you can't breathe :mjcry: shyt happened like 10 years ago and I still have nightmares about it like it was yesterday:damn: :merchant:

I don't care what is in that vaccine I don't ever want to feel that again :hubie: and will do by best not to. :huhldup:

The minute I heard rona was similar to ACS I was like :whoa::whoa: but some people need to learn shyt the hard way mayne.

Line gets draw at private entity. Make another platform to be free. People don't want to do that work.

Speaks volumes when they rather cite someone with zero academic science background on YouTube who gets their information from conspiracy theorist forums, but dismiss the leading scientists in this country. It makes sense how we elected Donald Trump as our president
