Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) Banned From Twitter.
Marjorie Taylor Greene was banned from Twitter for spreading misleading COVID-19 data.
The Republican Rep. was taken off her most-used platform over claims the virus only affects people under 65. Adding to a series of controversial comments about the pandemic, she tweeted Monday that vaccines should not be mandated and that COVID-19 "is not dangerous" for people aged under 65 who are not obese.

Sadly, all the misinformation that meets the approval of government and the oligarchs will remain, and anyone who dare debunk it will be circled by the establishment sharks. And before anyone misinterprets my words, I don't agree with the statements by Greene.
The only way to counter misinformation is ripping it apart with factual data. It's a troubling trend that so many people today are cheering on this type of censorship.

I don't see that as a problem. That's an atmosphere for further discussion and debate.

If Joe Biden reiterates his lie that Medicare for all will cost more that the ACA, on Twitter, I'm fairly certain that won't be removed.

It is difficult to have a reasonable conversation with the goal of finding workable solutions when others involved in the conversation seem hell-bent on provoking a debate just to delay the process and draw attention to themselves.

That still doesn't address the issue of what misinformation is allowed and what isn't.

There should be a form of "Godwins" law to cover people who bring in Biden when the thread is about republicans.
Biden is being blamed by even moderate GOP idiots for things he could not possibly have done
Rep. Greene was misinformed about covid19 and has not changed her mind, even when presented with accurate data. That is how Republican stupidity works.

The reason Fauci told people that masks weren't effective is because there was a shortage, and the supply needed to be reserved for medical personnel. He should have told us the truth, and warned people to isolate themselves as much as possible until the supply increased.

So, a doctor takes the advice of someone without a medical degree. That's rather odd, wouldn't you say?
