Facebook just tanked -20% in the markets. No idea why it took so long, but it is encouraging to see that there are costs for misbehaviour and that markets still occasionally deliver reality checks to Big Tech.

Another example of Big Tech agenda-driven censorship.

Fact-Checking, COVID-19 Misinformation, and the British Medical Journal
Quote
In November 2021, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a story about a whistleblower’s allegations of poor practices at three clinical trial sites run by Ventavia, one of the companies contracted by Pfizer to carry out its COVID-19 vaccine trials. After publication, BMJ’s readers began reporting a variety of problems, including being unable to share the article and being prompted by Facebook that people who repeatedly share “false information” might have their posts removed from Facebook’s News Feed.

BMJ’s article was fact-checked by Lead Stories, one of the ten fact-checking companies contracted by Facebook in the United States. After BMJ contacted Lead Stories to inquire about the flagging and removal of the post, the company maintained that the “Missing Context” label it had assigned the BMJ article was valid. In response to this, BMJ wrote an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg about Lead Stories’ fact-check, requesting that Facebook allow its readers to share the article undisturbed. Instead of hearing from Facebook, however, BMJ received a response to its open letter from Lead Stories.

Trust the Science, unless it disagrees with FB?

Facebook is in fact garbage. This is known.

Also, I'm glad Spotify hasn't removed Joe Rogan. That was encouraging. I think Rogan says a lot of stupid things, but so what. He also says some things that aren't. Hopefully media culture will move away from demanding a false image of perfection (ie; never offending or upsetting anyone) from everyone.

I very much agree with this. In the age of social media the image of perfection could only be a facade. Expecting such could only lead to selective enforcement of impossible standard. Everyone makes mistakes.

I think "things that aren't" are a lot more important. Joe Rogan Experience is one of the few places where dissent from the pushed narrative could be heard.

Think of it this way. A surgeon that only takes on easy tasks will have very low post-surgery mortality rate. A surgeon that takes on critical and dying patients all the time will have a very high mortality rate. Yet, which surgeon do you think saves more lives? It is like that with Rogan.

Outstanding analogy. I'm stealing this.

Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop confirmed in New York Times report . When are we going to have a judicial inquiry into election meddling by big tech that supressed this story?

Twitter Is Censoring Federalist Reporting As ‘Violent Content’
Quote
A Twitter spokesperson told The Federalist Wednesday night “the URLs referenced were mistakenly marked under our unsafe links policy — this action has been reversed.”
Coincidentally, this started to happen right after Federalists reported on prosecutors misleading a federal court and circumventing orders during a federal investigation into Project Veritas.

This seems like another escalation in censorship tactics - punitive bans for stories damaging to democrats, then reverse if encountering public blowback. However, how many low-profile journalists and bloggers have enough influence to effectively fight this?

The last independent newspaper in Russia, falls silent

What happening in Russia is a logical conclusion of the trajectory we observed here since 2018. Putin is simply 18 years ahead in this process. We already have FBI unconstitutionaly raiding Project Veritas. It will only get worse.
