Everyone should be reminded of Frances Haugen's testimony. Two months after, it's like everyone has forgotten so a Facebook exec can blame it on society.

Less than two weeks ago CNN reported that Facebook took money for ads relating vaccine to the Holocaust:

Society just doesn't seem to be remember much of anything these days.

>A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook's parent company, said the ads comparing the US Covid-19 response to Nazi Germany, comparing vaccines to the Holocaust, and the ad suggesting the vaccine was poison went against Facebook's vaccine misinformation policies.

Seems terrifying to me that Facebook has such policies in the fist place.

I agree that a shirt comparing US Covid-19 response to Nazi Germany or Fauci to Josef Mengele is poor taste, but to call a T-shits misinformation is a stretch.

"I'm originally from America but I currently reside in 1941 Germany"

This isn't misinformation because it isn't information. It is political criticism and opinion.
