Government "Helping Social Media Networks Flag Misinformation" on Health & Other Issues

Washington, DC...From the Office of the Surgeon General. "Each of us has the power to stop health misinformation in its tracks. So the next time you want to share a health-related article or video, check your sources and make sure the information is backed by scientific experts. If you're not sure, don't share. I am urging all Americans to help slow the spread of health misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Health misinformation is a serious threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, harm people’s health, and undermine public health efforts. Limiting the spread of health misinformation is a moral and civic imperative that will require a whole-of-society effort."

So let me get this straight. The government is going to decide what is misinformation or not misinformation. The biggest exporter of misinformation that there is. Sounds like Germany in 1935!

    The US is being destroyed from within

    We are in some pretty frightening times. It has been happening for years now that the web is being gleaned and important information removed. I have been unable to find hardly any of the information that is useful to learning and enlightenment that had been available before. Evil entities have been controlling and censoring what we can see, hear and learn from the web.

    But this? This is just blatant misuse of power over the people, to stop them from making decisions for themselves by depriving them from the information they need to do so.

          Communism.
          Not even close.
          Socialism? Maybe.
          Rural America will always be the strength of this country.
          Urban America will continue to rot, but it will never be considered Communism.

      But we only have vaccines because of Trump's brilliance.
      The Lemming dotards think their GOP will save the blue collar working class American.
      Keep believing that this is all because of those brown and black skin people pouring through our open borders.

The Surgeon General is asking you to stop before you spread disinformation.

They also ask you not to smoke. That’s what the SG does, makes health recommendations for the nation.

    As pointed out by several lawyers, Biden's SG Murthy and Press Sec Psaki just solidified Trump's censorship suit against Big Tech by bragging they flag "problematic" posts and notify FB to censor them.

    Dumb and Dumber at the press briefing yesterday.

    You can't make this spit up.

      Trump’s “lawsuit” isn’t even filed in the proper jurisdiction, it’s just a fundraising grift.

      The First Amendment's Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press Clauses, far from giving Trump any rights vis-a-vis Facebook or Twitter, actually give those companies the right to expel any user they wish.

        This is Communism at its finest. Our Freedom of Speech is being taken away if we can't make a statement about Covid and the Government says it is misinformation and then your Facebook account its deleted. This Democratic party needs to go to hell!

          You don’t have a constitutional right to use Facebook.

          However, Facebook is a private business and has the right to refuse service to anyone.

              You can say whatever you want, but Facebook does not have to host your speech. That’s part of the terms of service you agree to when you sign up. It’s the deal.
