Whose "Community Standards"?

A group of federal employees who reject the mandated injections recently had their thriving Facebook group disabled.  According to Mr. Zuckerberg's Company, "Feds 4 Medical Freedom goes against our Community Standards on misinformation that could cause physical harm." Facebook claims that it encourages free expression, but doesn't allow false information about COVID-19 that could contribute to physical harm.

So, you are free to talk on Zuckerberg's platform, just so long as what you say isn't false. That is, you are free to talk, as long as what you say agrees with Zuckerberg. You can get away with contradicting Zuckerbergian shibboleths until Zuckerberg's monitors notice that you are getting too many views, likes, reposts, and new members. At that point, you might be a danger to yourself and others.

I would not have such a problem with that if Mr. Zuckerberg were more upfront about it. The terms and conditions should be clear: "You are not allowed to disagree with the orthodoxy and shibboleths of your betters on this platform." Instead, he claims that this is part of "our Community Standards."

I have lived in various states and regions of America. I think that I understand the community standards of most American communities. Based on all of my experience, I don't recognize the Community Standard. It is foreign to me.

American Community Standards involve accepting that a man has the right to open his mouth and be proved an idiot. American Community Standards involve the right to exclaim that the Emperor has no vaccine.

The "Community Standards" of Mr. Zuckerberg's company is simply the standard of an insecure elite that  knows it cannot compete in the free flow of ideas and information. 

Since we are now communicating over the Internet, Americans had better do something to make sure that their Internet communications are governed by American Community Standards.  And we'd better do it fast. In 2017, you were probably not planning how you would find ways to speak freely about your opinions in the event of a health emergency, but at that time, Big Pharma was making plans to partner with Big Tech to muzzle you. 

If you want to understand what is happening, you need to read RFK's book and follow the citations for yourself. The prescience of the scenario from the 2017, The SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028, a Futuristic Scenario for Public Health Risk Communicators, is unsettling. 

 

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: How might using social media partners to silence and deplatform critics ensure that Americans have access to information that is as free, safe, and effective as the vaccine?
