Obviously not enough people are shutting up, given the way that antivax content is the #1 propagator on Facebook.

There is money to be made from lying to people. That's why it's being banned. It should have been done last year honestly, but social media companies were afraid to anger Trump. They took the barest actions to add warnings, and no surprise, no one reads them.

I shouldn't need to be "warned" about some wrongthink by a platform that believes they know the world best. It's dystopian as fuck.
It’s not “wrongthink”, it’s actually just factually wrong and people are dying because they believe it anyway.
This isn't question of quantity (not enough) but quality.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.
