There has to be a fine line between blatant misinformation and social content. Internet is now a matured technology and now (Social Media, esp.) is easily exploited by various entities. You should read up a bit more on this, rather than blaming META. Our way of life and trust in institutions is under threat due to blatant abuses by Russia. They were also paying $100,000 per video to influencers to create distrust in everything.

Misinformation from one country is allowed, misinformation from another country isn't. How do we know for sure that the news outlets from Western countries are actually telling the truth about what's going on, and aren't just making things up or lying by omission? And how long until Meta and other social media giants start banning news outlets that they personally disagree with - that is, if they aren't already? They are no better than the corrupt dictatorships they claim to be protecting us from.
