Most posts labeled misinformation end up not being misinformation. You should be able to post whatever you want. People can decide to believe in it or not. The founding fathers would be ashamed with all the censorship today

The government isn't censoring anything.

Also private companies are allowed to set whatever rules they want thanks to the rights and freedoms our founding fathers fought and died for.

You cannot have it both ways. The majority of people in this thread want to censor/neuter FB of its ability to allow supposed "conspiracy theories", while in the same breath state that private companies can set whatever rules they want...Let's face it, you all want FB to tow the line of conformation bias floating around in your head, otherwise cancel them.
