This Renee-Zeynep debate is interesting. I can’t decide who’s right. Which makes me think we’re all missing some factor.

where we came down on health misinformation earlier this year was that its creators could post it, but the reco engine would not promote it, and FB would not accept $ for ads. is that policy violating freedom of speech?

if we're talking about Free Speech as in 1st amendment "the government cannot arrest you for what you say", I think Renee is right. But Zeynep has a point + IMO is talking about is something more recent and new, and maybe we need a new language for thinking and talking about it
