"Popular vote doesn't mean ---- and you know that"

Okay. He lost by a landslide, according to (...checks notes...) Trump's own barometer.

" Somebody hasn't seen the Zuckerberg confession this morning..."

Until and unless Zuckerberg shows us EXACTLY what was curbed, it's safe to assume it was instructions on best methods of inserting a UV light up your hoo-hah.

But while I have your attention, does the first amendment extend to potential fatal medical malinformation?

" Where in the past would you want to have invoked the first amendment to punish people up for that?"

As soon as they publish after being told to take it down, or retract it.

That said, why shouldn't they be held as liable as a doctor giving fatal advice? More people died in New Mexico from ivermectin poisoning than all the Alec Baldwin movies, combined.

Does free speech include your right to claim doctors have been misleading everyone about megadoses of horse paste?

How about after the government has seen thousands of ivermectin deaths?

Is it censorship if they do, and shirking their constitutional duties if they don't?!?

"who is represented when you say "their"?"

The folks responsible for The General Welfare.

Pretty obvious, in context.

"my free speech protection includes protection even when I'm misleading people."

Good God, I hope it doesn't. But I'm not talking about just "misleading"; I'm talking about PIMPING FATAL ACTIONS AS CURES.

Free speech? Or time for a little General Welfare? The Bellringers of the world don't believe it EVER gets to the GW part.

"The Federal government? Local government? The Secret Service, FBI, the Texas Rangers?"

Hell, ANYBODY, hopefully. But at this point we're talking the Feds and FaceBook.

Does it matter WHAT was asked by the FBI, or is just the asking censorship?

I believe the lynchpin is CONTENT. Was it merely disagreement? Then the government is WRONG. Was it medical malinformation? If so, I believe the government is duty-bound to protect the general welfare.

More specifically, "Don't take the vaccine" is one thing; "You can't overdose on horse paste" is another, especially when the government is seeing a 1000% spike in ivermectin poisoning cases

Sorry, but I just can't get behind "it's my right to indirectly kill others with my stupidity" concept.

"This whole ivermectin -------- is just a subset of all kinds of misinformation"

STOP CALLING IT MISINFORMATION. I'm not talking about misinformation, I'm talking about MALINFORMATION.

Do you know the difference? YES YOU DO.

"maybe it wasn't really the law but rather the unwillingness of the govt to pursue such folks."

All the more reason for government to step into the Social Media world, or hold the gatekeepers responsible. Suddenly "Mr. HorsePaste" doesn't have a couple yokels from the General Store trying his "cure", he's got tens of thousands.

A different world, requires different solutions.
