Should Similar Worlds take its cue from Facebook with regards to intentional misinformation?

I speak specifically with regards to COVID-19. I do not care if others choose to support the lie that the election was rigged. That is a political debate, not a health hazard. However, there are those who choose to perpetuate lies that will allow COVID-19 to proliferate and mutate in the bodies of the gullible for years to come, should they follow the advice of certain users. Does that not constitute a risk to the lives of the general public? I consider it to be even worse than shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

@checkoutanytime I believe it is my responsibility to protect people from the virus, and from the lies that certain persons perpetuate.

@CorvusBlackthorne im not lieing, take the jab if you want. Its no guarantee of anything. Ill keep social distaning as my primary defense.

@checkoutanytime I respect your choice to social distance, but I have personally witnessed evidence that the vaccines have a positive impact.

Yes, I know, that would be anecdotal evidence, easily dismissed. I am simply stating that I have personally seen it.

@CorvusBlackthorne ive always been on board with focus on who the 'vaccine' benefits most

@checkoutanytime I see. In that case, I do not consider what you have to say to be necessarily dangerous. When I speak of lies and misinformation, I refer to the sort of people who think that the vaccine is a chemical injection containing a microchip designed by Bill Gates to cause the recipient to begin emitting magnetism and a 5G signal for the lizard people's benefit.
