You know, there's only one thing that bothers me more than political organisers spreading fear and misinformation through social networks.

And that's social networks becoming "Ministries of Truth", deciding for themselves what information is fit to be shared with the masses, and what must be suppressed.

I mean, all the evidence we've seen over the years suggests that Facebook is in no way, shape, or form trustworthy.

I'm bothered that there seems to be a vocal subset on HN who say that freedom of speech doesn't apply to these platforms.

You know that Facebook is private and can do whatever they please as far as content goes, right? Use a different platform if it bothers you so - free markets!

It doesn't matter what anyone says on here, free speech doesn't apply to private platforms. If it did then they'd be full of spam.
