<< as if that’s a thing that happened

In the links I so helpfully provided ( I will focus on #8 ), Guardian did note that FB was tasked with combating 'vaccine hesitancy'. And did FB take actions to combat that hesitancy in US? If so, is that censorhip? If so, is it related to speech?

So tell me, what really did happen?



Why are you asking me?

If you want to know what happened at a private tech giant in California, ask someone who works there or an investigative reporter who writes about such things.

I notice that you’re not disputing my claims that nobody in the US was secreted away in a concentration camp over a refusal to vaccinate, or over refusing to comply with quarantine rules. You’re also not disputing that refusing vaccines is not an act of speech.

You’re just trying to exhaust me by throwing a lot of arguments at the wall to see what sticks. It’s not working; you’re not convincing me that the US government under Trump is not breaking new ground by removing people’s rights.


<< Why are you asking me?

Why indeed? I suppose we will need to do some meta analysis.

Is it because maybe your post attempted to undermine my point by stating:"Really? You’re writing that “Being quarantined for expressing an opinon is bad”, as if that’s a thing that happened."?

<< I notice that you’re not disputing my claims that nobody in the US was secreted away in a concentration camp over a refusal to vaccinate,

Why should I? It is not a claim I made, nor is it my objection. You can have it. Hope you feel more validated.

<< You’re also not disputing that refusing vaccines is not an act of speech.

Amigo. I want you to focus. You are already all over the place and I do not want to distract you with shiny stuff on the horizon. We will get there.

<< you’re not convincing me that the US government under Trump is not breaking new ground by removing people’s rights.

Because, my fake false equivalency buddy, I am not arguing that, despite you clearly trying so very, very hard to impose that framework onto this conversation. You might be trying, so c for effort?

<< If you want to know what happened at a private tech giant in California, ask someone who works there or an investigative reporter who writes about such things.

Hmm. So things only happened if they are investigated by a reporter?


You literally wrote “Being quarantined for expressing an opinon is bad”.

I wrote that this is irrelevant because nobody has been quarantined for expressing an opinion. Then you deny making such a claim.

You’re obviously mostly interested in wasting my time so I’ll disengage from this discussion now.


> It is not a claim I made, nor is it my objection

What is the claim or point are you trying to make?


I think I am out of points. I actually am close to stopping posting altogether.
