You mean their fact checkers got fact checked (AGAIN) and were proven wrong (AGAIN) ? Did they issue a sincere apology to the millions of users they falsely accused of lying in public? Did they apologize for lying to the public in public (AGAIN)?
The things they have done certainly warrant charges. And they obviously have no intention to stop until someone stops them. Many have faced criminal charges for much less. And a smart lawyer should be able to find grounds for a class action lawsuit. They have powerful forces behind them, but an awake public is a powerful force too. And it is growing by the day.
(CNN) — Facebook said it’s no longer removing from its platforms claims that coronavirus was man-made.
That announcement comes shortly after President Joe Biden announced he had directed the US intelligence community to redouble its efforts into the origin of Covid-19.
In a statement to CNN Business, a Facebook spokesperson said late Wednesday that, “In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of Covid-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that Covid-19 is man-made from our apps.”
“We’re continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge,” the spokesperson added.
Biden announced Wednesday he has given the US officials 90 days to investigate the virus’ origins. The announcement came after a US intelligence report found several researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill in November 2019 and had to be hospitalized — a new detail that fueled fresh public pressure on Biden to delve deeper into the origin of the virus.
“As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China. I have also asked that this effort include work by our National Labs and other agencies of our government to augment the Intelligence Community’s efforts. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work,” Biden said in a statement.
Facebook announced in February it would remove claims that the virus was man-made following “consultations with leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO).” The social network has also been pulling posts that spread vaccine misinformation and other false claims that have been debunked by public health officials.
a fuckin year later .. clowns
Biden ordering an investigation? Will it be real or pretend? Biden is China's bitch.
Jump off a cliff Facebook.
Well golly! I’m so glad we’re allowed to talk about that now. Freedom is awesome.
You mean their fact checkers got fact checked (AGAIN) and were proven wrong (AGAIN) ? Did they issue a sincere apology to the millions of users they falsely accused of lying in public? Did they apologize for lying to the public in public (AGAIN)?
Did they?
I wonder if they'll face charges for suppression of vital life-saving information.
The things they have done certainly warrant charges. And they obviously have no intention to stop until someone stops them. Many have faced criminal charges for much less. And a smart lawyer should be able to find grounds for a class action lawsuit. They have powerful forces behind them, but an awake public is a powerful force too. And it is growing by the day.
Of course not.
Facebook took away people's times by banning them for saying that in the past. Facebook cannot give the lost time back.
I want my disabled account back. I want compensation for the time lost using my accounts.
They also need to compensate for the distress as well of lost connections to your distant social circle.
Class action?
I would think is a possibility. I'm not a lawyer though lol

How about stories about election fraud and Hunter's laptop? It's either free speech or it's not. It's not.
