Maybe I’m out of the loop a little bit I feel that the argument framed as political activism is a deflection.

Post 5g causes sickness or other theories... These aren’t political at all, they are just factually incorrect.

Framing them as political is a mistake and it seems to have worked so well, even here on HN.

Employees were mad specifically because he wouldn't take down the president's post threatening a violent crackdown on rioting & looting. Is it your perception that the main objection of employees was to explicitly counterfactual claims? That's not what I got from TFA

Also TFA makes clear that facebook takes down tons of posts, that's the biggest complaint they get from users, so it's not true that they are leaving everything up. Respectfully: did you read TFA?

Using conspiracy theories, bunk science, and outright lies to influence the lower-awareness majority _is_ political action, and evidently it is currently one of the more effective strategies.
