It isn’t now. Go watch a science video on Facebook and read the comments. Every time I report all the idiots, and every time Meta decides not to remove the blatantly hateful, false information.
I don't use Facebook but I find that on YouTube people will spout blatantly awful bigoted takes and any kind of response I make, no matter how much I try to clean up the language, will get shadow deleted
I don't have a facebook account for that and a myriad of other reasons. But I agree I am lagging culturally because of it. I'm sorry that I get that way on here when I get all wound up.
My bet is it's a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. "They censored us for years, now we're in power it's only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!"
some people misinterpret "freedom of speech" meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn't going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.
Let's see, the conservative Christian right just voted in a nasacistic tyrant twice. They want to declare America as a Christian country. They want to abolish the separation of church and state. They want to teach creationism in schools. They want LGBT to register as sex offenders. They want to remove books from schools and libraries they don't like. They want to immediately execute every death row inmate. I'm not sure why I'm pissed at conservatives.
Those are actually Libertarian views posing as Conservative views because Conservatism has been taken over by billionaire libertarian think tanks, looking to lower their taxes.
