“Facebook isn’t killing people,” President Joe Biden informed us yesterday.
At least, “That’s what I meant,” he clarified ever-so-confusingly.
Meant last Friday, after a reporter mentioned “COVID misinformation” and asked Joe: “What’s your message to social media platforms like Facebook?”
“They’re killing people,” replied the president. “I mean, it really, look — the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people.”
CNBC noted that Facebook “reacted defensively” to Biden’s friendly murder accusations, failing to hit LIKE on the administration’s characterization of its pandemic performance.
“The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives,” a company spokesperson countered.
“My hope is that Facebook, instead of taking it personally that somehow I’m saying Facebook is killing people,” Mr. Biden chided the social media giant, “that they would do something about the misinformation, the outrageous misinformation about the vaccine.”
After all, the Biden Administration has certainly rolled up its sleeves, as White House press secretary Jen Psaki put it: “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”
Yes, behind the scenes, this administration works with these behemoth social media corporations to help determine what hundreds millions of Americans will be permitted to say and share and discuss — on matters such as medicine, theories of disease origins, etc.
Didn’t we just ride this pony? Remember the supposedly baseless, debunked, conspiracy-nut-fueled Wuhan lab-leak theory?
That idea was blocked from us by Facebook (and Google and YouTube) at the behest of Big Government Science … until just weeks ago.
It’s hard to keep up.
Perhaps we are not supposed to.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Free and open debate is being muzzled by those who pride themselves on being honest and ‘impartial’. Our media needs a new name. How about Pravda?
Help.
In at least indirect terms, they are killing people. Censoring valid medical advice in order to run the party line has probably(?) cost thousands of lives.
All of this might make some “conspiracy theorists” wonder what is really behind the covid shot push.
