Face book should be neutral on this case or did they get big money to silence the crowd?

Don't people understand that it's not any tech gaint's right or authority to remove anything? Today you allow facebook to remove one thing, you give it the right to remove anything it sees fit to its agneda. StupidPeople like censorship.

A claim and a fact are not the same thing. Would Facebook remove a post that stated the vaccine has been rushed through? FACT Would they remove a post stating the company has no liability should you suffer as a result of the vaccine? FACT Etc

Breitbart will use this to incite their crazies as censorship of their free speech to pass lies.

About time - Facebook really needs to understand power and responsibility.
