NO ONE forces anyone to read or respond to social media. NO ONE tells anyone what they HAVE to believe. ( yet ). This is called communism
A lot of what people call misinformation is opinion. Let people decide for themselves what they want to believe and stop trying to silence those who disagree with you. The past six years liberals have tried to silence conservative views on most social media sites. Please just let us have " one "

@missyann Nope.
I mean yes, but absolutely not in some cases. Not every single argument is about opinions. Facts don't consider opinions, so how you feel about something doesn't dictate whether it happened or not or exists or not.
A fact is a statement that is true.
An opinion is a statement a person holds to be true.
So where misinformation, hate or willful ignorance is concerned, no.

@missyann Not too up to speed on communism, huh? But I find it ironic that with you're stance on "Free Speech" that you don't seem compelled to allow others to have that same "Free Speech." Are you saying companies in a free market system shouldn't be allowed to make their own rules? OK. Then let's talk about communism again.
Didn't quite think this through, huh? What might be a good jumping off point is if you actually learn what Free Speech REALLY means. And how companies are at liberty to set their own rules. It'll help you out in the future.

@missyann OK. Then what's the issue? You're throwing out nonsense like "For the past six years liberals have tried to silence conservative views on most social media."
I guess by what you said that shouldn't be a problem, right? Come on now. Think things through. At least pretend to walk the walk.
Side note. It isn't about Conservative views. It's about hate and lies. Made up enemies drive that train. Full stop. THAT'S what you're fighting for. Don't think any different.
