Facebook censors such experts as environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, statistician Bjorn Lomborg and former New York Times columnist John Tierney.
Facebook’s “fact-checkers” claim they spread “misinformation”.
But the people guilty of spreading misinformation are Facebook and its so-called fact-checkers.
Facebook often censors things that should be talked about. They banned discussion of the idea of that COVID-19 escaped from a lab, only reversing course when the Biden administration did.
Science Feedback also doesn’t like articles questioning the “climate crisis”. That’s what got Shellenberger punished.
“They censored me for saying we’re not in a sixth mass extinction,” Shellenberger complains. “We’re not!”
Lomborg was censored for pointing out, “Rising temperatures have actually saved lives.” That’s because cold weather kills more people than warm weather.
Facebook and its censors are now the enemy of open debate.
“They’re trying to suppress people whose opinions and whose evidence they don’t like,” concludes Tierney. “They’re not fact-checkers, they’re fact-blockers.”
The world doesn’t need fact-blockers.
We need more freedom to speak, not less.

I remember seeing a report a couple of years ago that most of the “fact-checkers” on Facebook were Communists or leftists of some form or other.
So of course they don’t want to debate - they just want to control, as leftists always do.
