Comment on Meta has HOW MANY people working on "election integrity" ahead of the 2024 election?

A good example is facebook blocked the hunter laptop story even though it was true. That impacts elections and that isn’t their job.
People should be able to read and evaluate the information and make their own decisions.
Now I will caveat that with i don’t mind them blocking meme and crap like that. I do not mind them blocking legitimate news outlets. That isn’t their job to be the keeper of the ‘truth’. That is why I don’t use facebook. They spread propaganda and not information.

Nothing about the hunter laptop story had any merit whatsoever. You are a great example of why people can’t be trusted.

The story has merit. That is absurd to think otherwise. It wasn’t Russian disinformation like Facebook claimed. It was legit.
You want to claim I listen to propaganda but you think a story about Hunter’s laptop with emails and photos doesn’t have merit? That is someone who has bought the party line. Not only do you lose any credibility with such an ignorant claim, but it also shows you have never reviewed anything from the laptop. You are just parroting what you read from a “fact” checker.

Thankfully, I’m parroting what I see from reality. You should check in sometime.

Why are you citing something unrelated to the laptop? That is weird as hell. Is that typically how you have a conversation? You just talk about something unreleated? Maybe that is because the Democrats keep trying to bury it.
Maybe you find nothing interesting on the laptop but I have seen many interesting things from the laptop. Yet, the Democrats keep trying to hide the laptop. So weird to hide something of no value.
