Okay 🤷♂️
EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?
The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.
In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.
Who gets to decide what's disinformation?
Once upon a time, scientific consensus classified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
This is why psychology is a soft science and not worthy of the authority afforded to hard sciences.
oooh. now do economics!!
The problem is that people want to censor what they don't want to see for others.
"If I don't like it, then neither should you."
No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we're all forced to listen to it and participate.
Who's forcing you to read half baked reckons on FB?
Exactly my point. No one is forced to read bullshit on FB.
There is little to no repercussions for Meta.
