Facebook bans pages organizing anti-lockdown rallies

[Markoni35]

Facebook is not a government entity, so there is by definition no freedom of speech violation.
They are absolutely free to censor whatever they feel, as they are not a public utility.

Really? Then why did the media attack the pub owner who didn't want to sell drinks to a gay couple? It's a private pub and they can serve or not serve whomever they want.

Facebook and Google are banning people who don't support their agenda. But at the same time ISIL can have their Facebook pages and other web pages, where they can publish pictures of beheaded people, or their manifestos. Nobody finds that interesting? No ban for criminals or terrorists, just to people who are against the agenda of a certain political party. Wow... some "freedom".

Have you never heard of Italy? or other countries that did not lock down fast enough and now have so many corpses they literally cannot cremate them fast enough and are running out of storage space?

Actually, the reason for those corpses was invalid treatment. It was the treatment (or should I say "treatment") that killed the victims, not the virus. Sweden, Belarus and India aren't floating in corpses despite having zero lockdown measures. The mortality rate is approximately the same as during a stronger flu season.

No panic, no corpse storage, because dead end up in graveyards, just as usual. But if you chase everyone to hospitals and then give them wrong treatments, then yeah, hospitals will be flooded with corpses. Just like in Italy. But unlike Sweden, Belarus and India.

The flu death rate vs corona has been disproved many times in the comments sofar.

Sweden and other countries are not doing nothing, and just maybe they have better behaved citizens that actually comply with social distancing as opposed to the US where large amounts of people rally against it together or literally host corona parties and get sick at those parties.

India is a complete mess, if you think they have the resources or proper administrative structures to report accurately you must be living in a dream world.

Lastly the death rate of Italy and Spain is in line with all the other countries:https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
So it's not like they disproportionately screwed up care or treatment like you claimed. What happened is they didn't try to avoid the spread like you are advocating for.

I would have expected a reference for this - that fakebook allows ISIL posts. Actually, I really doubt that you have a reference for this unless it is maybe Rush Limbaugh, and somehow, I do not think that counts.

The US military, in 2015 used a fakebook post by terrorists to execute a successful strike on the cell - https://www.military.com/defensetec...-destroys-isis-hq-building-using-social-media

But what the heck, keep spreading propaganda that has no basis in reality and keep trying to convince the rest of us of lies that you failed to verify were true.

...[ ]...Also, making number of death comparisons is as pointless as Dr.Phil saying more people die in car accidents. We won't know the true scope of this for several months.....[ ].....

Dr. Phia should probably put an N-95 mask over his a**, since that's where he's normally talking from.

The number of Covid19 deaths currently stands at 46,000, (give or take).

The number of highway fatalities has been averaging about 38,000 per year..

Hence, Covid deaths have exceeded last year's highway death toll, and it's only April.

@wiyosay, You quote by Joseph Goebbels, is one of the cornerstones, even part of the foundation of the principles of propaganda
