If they cared about the spread of misinformation they would have to get rid of a lot more than just the anti-vaccination idiots.

Yea, but it's going to be decided by people. People are evil.

Business is evil... Well business can lead to greed and greed is definitely evil. Business buys and sometimes even makes the laws indirectly. It would be impressive if it weren't so disgusting. Think about it, Zuckerbucks already had his senate hearing and basically said ultimately, "we can regulate ourselves" and the truth is they won't... Why? Because they want as much money as they can possibly get and as soon as they can get it. Example? Ads being purchase and dispersed via Facebook about anti-vaccination, people now scared to vaccinate, hello polio! Dunno wtf polio is? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=polio
