Literally this entire thread is full of people bloviating about the destruction of freedom of speech (without understanding that freedom of speech is precisely what protects a private organizations right to not be compelled into speech) and accusing faecbook of mind control. All of the top posts are precisely as I have described them.

You obviously know I'm being hyperbolic (you said it), and so your unwillingness to realize I am mocking the very real attitudes here is tiresome.

With all due respect, what conservative media claimed was on the laptop was falsified and fake news. The existence of a candidate for President's son having a laptop with some lewd photos on it was real. The lie that it contained evidence of corruption relevant to Joe Biden and the election was a salacious lie, done as a trick to try and win an election. In my opinion, it represents one of the most perfect examples of fake news and how it works in our entire lifetimes. This is how disinformation works, a little truth allows you to slide in a lot of lie.
