I disabled mine a long time age. Saw what it was and the damage it could do to our people and our country.

By misinformation, I take it they mean things that don’t fit the narrative.

Facebook’s motto. “Ignorance is Strength”.

And MILLIONS of low-info voters, and childless Demonrat cat ladies, and soy boys, will buy the propaganda of “WHO good, Orange Man bad”.

“...a website debunking coronavirus myths from the World Health Organization.”

Read that again. Sounds like they’re debunking CV myths that came from the WHO — not that WHO is debunking myths. Gee, maybe those English classes were important.

Does anybody still use Facebook anymore?

I still have an account because other apps use my Facebook login, but I only log into Facebook maybe once per week, and I haven’t really paid attention to my wall in months.

...will now be directed to a website debunking coronavirus myths from the World Health Organization

Something's wrong. Clicking thru to CNN's FB page still takes me to CNN - isn't FB supposed to keep me away from these fake news sites now?

F Facebook.

When being a censor just isn’t enough, they go full snitch.

Never used it, never will.

F Facebook.

How mofos can still use Facebook and Twitter is beyond me. #mindblown

FascistBuch is one thing - you mostly have to give up your name and personal info to them.

Twitter, you can be anonymous, and that's where the war is at.

Curiously, Zuckerberg’s in-laws are Chinese refugees.

They fled from Vietnam during the massive “boat people” exodus in the mid-1970s.

His first generation American wife is obviously brilliant.

She was valedictorian of her high school, a Harvard graduate in biology and Spanish, and a M.D. from the University of San Francisco, which is often ranked in the Top 5 USA med schools.
