Not correct, I'm pretty sure she was only referring to people who don't parrot the party line so Tibs will be safe from a blanket ban if he was banned here.

And since the internet and social media are run by northern California Liberals, they will have absolutely no problem with this.
It is utterly amazing that we are talking about shuttering free speech in this country. And we have fascists on this board that are more than happy to go along. How far we have fallen, and I don't know if we can get back up.
It may be time to burn it all down and start from scratch.

You guys have been saying this for years. What does that even mean, in practical terms?

No. It means if I was banned specifically for, say, aggressively spreading dangerous disinformation putting the lives of others at risk, or say, inciting & supporting a violent insurrection, or say, calling for the death of elected officials... then yeah, someone like that *probably* shouldn't be allowed to do the same elsewhere, on other platforms. It's not that complicated.
I read yesterday the vast majority of outright lies & disinformation regarding COVID and the vaccine on FB comes from a total of 12(!) individual accounts. Tens of millions of others repost and spread these proven, dangerous fallacies. Cut out those twelve (out of 2.8 billion) and watch disinformation evaporate, at least in the interim. Making the world a tad bit safer place for all.
To clarify, I am not speaking of holding differing opinions. ie not believing Covid is as dangerous as claimed, or questioning the veracity of vaccinations, or simply holding unpopular views, or being conservative, MAGA, whatever. I am referring specifically to proactive, treacherous propaganda & disinformation campaigns that are designed to confuse & deceive uninformed people by the millions. The type run by our enemies such as Russia, North Korea, Syria, Chinese, hackers and bad actors.
Btw, if you feel I've broken the rules on this board then go ahead and ban me. It would elicit a huge sigh of relief around here, I'm sure.

People would be better off avoiding social media in general, not just pertaining to COVID.
That includes YouTube, though I have a difficult time staying away from that one.
There's just so much garbage being peddled out there.
One of the problems we have in our relatively free, open society is that too many people are too stupid to decipher legit information from all the crap. All the information on these platforms just overwhelms them.
Biden is not really wrong. A lot of this misinformation is costing lives, prolonging the pandemic and increasing the risk of a mutation resistant to current vaccinations, as the virus still has an extremely large population of completely unprotected people to circulate thru.
To have such a wealth of COVID vaccines that we can afford to give it out like candy to the rest of the world, while still having a sub 50% domestic vaccination rate is embarrassing.
Social media does bear a lot of responsibility, but ultimately they're private entities that reserve the right to regulate themselves to a large extent.
Freedoms do come with downsides and risks, and we're seeing some of them now

What treacherous propaganda are we talking about here?
You gave examples of what shouldn't be censored, but none for the treacherous propaganda.
I think the best way to get a population to NOT do exactly what it's government wants is to start censoring those against it.
So you agree that section 230 of the Communications Decency Act needs to be re-evaluated, right?

I stand in awe of his brilliance. My feeble mind could never grasp this advanced level of superior intellect . No wonder he got the most votes EVER in the history of our republic.
Tibs is a communist. This form of censorship and the destruction of the Constitution is exactly what he wants. Thus he cheers that what Orwell wrote about is coming true.
I suspect Tibs has posters of Pol Pot above his empty bed too.
Please elaborate factually on what risks we are seeing now. Stats, etc. There's a lot of fear mongering going on and you're speaking in generalizations.
293 people yesterday died from COVID - no longer a leading cause of death (officially) in the USA. In January we hit nearly 4,500 deaths in a day.
At what point do we start treating this like the flu - as an assumed risk we all live with annually? At what point can we say X number of cases and X number of deaths daily is going to have to be an acceptable number and we move on?
At what point do we all wake up and realize this isn't ever going away, it will be like the flu and the cold? If we all understand and accept this, we can get back to ******* life without the Government leaving half of our country unnecessarily scared out of their minds. We can eliminate this situation that allows our Government to continue to destroy our rights "In the Name of Public Safety"
There is a reason to keep the fear going and high, if you're the government. All you have to do is look.

Well the destruction of the constitution will not deliver the desired outcome he thinks will come. But if the **** ever does hit the fan here, I hope he comes to fight with his comrades.
Meanwhile, we are STUNNED at this revelation

I just think people need to stop paying so much attention to social media in general.
It's a major source of the political tensions in the country and we could not unite and avoid politicizing a ******* pandemic in large part because of all the BS about COVID and the vaccines.
It's not like Facebook, Twitter or Google/YouTube are essential utilities or anything, though they're trying to be.

First of all, COVID is not the flu. It's a novel virus that's far more contagious and attacks the body and wider array of ways.
Ask 10 people about their experience with the common flu, and you'll likely get fairly uniform responses. Ask the same about COVID 19, and you'll likely get 7-8 different responses.
Combine the variance in symptoms with its accelerated mutation rate and you have a very dangerous bug.
Secondly, you seem to be implying that there is some sort of "moving of the goal post" regarding the public response to the virus when it was pretty well established at the beginning of the vaccination campaign that a 80-90% rate would be necessary to neutralize it. Months in and we're not even close to that, despite ample supply.
Staying unvaccinated based on a bunch of unsubstantiated BS is beyond reckless, though I believe people are entitled to that choice.
You'll see the costs once the next surge hits. Mask mandates were lifted prematurely as new vaccinations rates have stalled.
There's no guarantee that the vaccinations will work, as the virus could evolve beyond them, but too many people are too arrogant and stubborn to even try, basing much of the decision on speculative nonsense.
The fear mongering about the vaccines is far worse than that pertaining to Covid itself, especially adjusted for actual risk.

like i said, if you were banned from this board - where your bullshit IS deemed misinformation and dangerous - then you would have to agree that your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc accounts should all be frozen.
For those 60 and under COVID is less deadly than the flu. Verifiable fact.
For those 60 and under COVID is less deadly than the flu. It mutates, just like the flu does annually. Faster? Perhaps. Highly contagious? Yes. Deadlier? Not for the vast majority of our population.
There has been. Who set those goal posts? "They" have never ever included natural immunity in those equations. Negligence. Study after study has show long lasting, and in some studies potentially life-long levels of immunity to COVID if you have had it. A growing number of doctors have called this out. Most are saying we need to get to 230M Americans to be immune. Through a combination of vaccines + natural immunity. It does not have to be 80-90% vaccinated.
What is unsubstantiated? You come here throwing about numbers without data to back it up, as if anything you've chosen to believe in is "gold" and anything else is unsubstantiated. What that I have written is unsubstantiated?
Masks haven't worked to stop prior spreads. Social distancing was debunked in numerous studies. The most dangerous place we could be was at home. Re-instituting those measures won't work. Let's watch LA County and see.
The vaccines are working. For a large %. However, to dismiss that these vaccines are far worse than all other vaccines is to be intentionally obtuse. We factually know these vaccines have far, far more adverse effects than others. This is fact. Is the risk still small? Yep. But to say these vaccines are safe as compared to others is factually wrong. They are not and that is to be expected given how they came to market.
As I have said before, people should have the right to make this decision: Risk getting COVID and risk the incredibly small odds of dying from it, or risk getting the vaccines and risk the incredibly small odds of dying from it. Or...risk getting COVID and risk the incredibly small odds of long term effects, or risk getting the vaccine and risk the incredibly small odds of the long term effects of it.
Vaccine triggered something in my sister called Polymyalgia Rheumatica which causes a lot of joint pain and limited movement. She's okay now on large doses of steroids but she will have to take them anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

British Labour Party supporters, (D)imbo allies - trans freaks doing stupid **** in front of little kids.
THIS is the "trans" community for anybody who doesn't know who they are - mentally ill freaks who cannot be trusted around children.

Tibilo: "Yeah, gas prices up 40%, median wages down, inflation exploding, economic growth well below expectations for return from stupid lockdowns, border being overrun, crime exploding, murders up, shoplifting so bad dozens of Bay Area stores closing, imbecile politicians think they can censor speech, Middle East falling apart, China aggressively expanding, but ... look at the poll numbers!"

Oh, and that 49% approval? 324 (D)imbos polled, 234 Republicans, 260 Independents. Weighted very heavily in favor of (D)imbos.

I posted about this terrorist whack-job that the Biden Dementia administration found suitable for the highest of Government offices. Now they find, she actually edited a paper that advocated violence against Government officials.
This one is a real gem. If she gets the position, should we wish upon her the violence she once wished upon those in gubmint?
The Autumnal Equinox Issue included an obscene letter to the editor advocating violent action, and potentially assassination, against government officials. The letter began, “Dear Weeniewanker, What is all this pussyfooting bullshit about sensitive treatment of Forest Service pigdogs who ream our public lands”:
“Rend the entire USFS [U.S. Forest Service] limb from limb and tear out its guts,” it continued. “These swine are evil and must be rubbed out.”
Stages one and two of the article’s plan included contacting stakeholders to express opposition to building the road, as well as suing those stakeholders when necessary. Stage three resorted to physically blocking the project work “with non-violent civil disobedience actions, and a few new tactics.” Stage four ominously only instructed readers, “Use your imagination!”
“Remember, we’re in at Stage 1 now. Let’s hope we don’t make it to Stage 4, but be prepared!” the article stated.
A “Stone” is also named under “Assistance” in the 1988 “Winter Solstice Issue,” labeled Vol. 1, No. 4.
An article on page five of this issue, titled “$ummer Fire$ Up in $moke,” strikes a tune similar to that of a recent Harper’s Magazine article written by Stone-Manning’s husband suggesting homes in wildfire-prone areas ought to be left to burn as a consequence of perceived poor construction and zoning decisions. Stone-Manning last year shared her husband’s 2018 article on her social media and described it as a “clarion call.”
