    Permissible Covid Theories

    I see that Facebook will no longer block posts about Covid lab-leak theories. I suppose Mark Zuckerberg is powerful and well-positioned enough to resist the sort of Chinese government pressure that forced a groveling apology from John Cena for calling Taiwan a country.

    Stupid timing, since that theory has finally been allowed to see the light and was quickly regulated to the bottom of the theory pile. And perhaps it should’ve been there earlier it’s just that no one was allowed to float the theory seriously because Trump.

    That Mark Zuckerberg was controlling discussion of THE SCIENCE for his own beneficial reason of staying on the good side of the
    Chinese is disturbing.

    Under Biden the government is also looking into theories about aliens in our skies.

    LOL. I had a My Space when it first came out and one of the kids signed up.

    I think I read somewhere that the younger folks no longer use Facebook, but have moved on to instagram and twitter.

    I don’t know how they decide to separate the true wing nuts from the merely obnoxious or eccentric. I thought there was some kind of panel at one time. It must be a difficult task to regulate the zeitgeist.

    I found most true wing nuts that I have encountered are also obnoxious and eccentric, and eventually become very easy to identify by their repeated ravings, rantings, etc. "Deciding" which is which and actually doing something about them are generally two different things. They do not exist only on FB. LOL.
