I'm looking at the list of things that Facebook says it will take down as "misinformation" and is this retroactive? They'd then have to take down most of public health advice, including from the CDC and the WHO and major newspapers, from the first six months of the pandemic.https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1358838193668325377 …

If even I can immediately spot errors—the ongoing clinical trial with NO PLACEBO—that means Facebook didn't hire a COVID-19 expert to check this. I hope it never happens but seems Facebook would also ban discussion of vaccine production issues. (Last big incident: 2008, China).pic.twitter.com/2Tl0Z1xA2X

Yes, as it is worded, Facebook would have to ban all discussions of today's news around the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine and the strain in South Africa. There goes today's WHO presser, I guess!https://twitter.com/BettinaRyll/status/1358861985597820930 …

So if I said "wellackchally the test detects RNA from the virus, not the virus itself, and certainly not Covid-19 which is a disease" I'd be in trouble for being misleading rather than annoyingly pedantic?

Yeah, I'm ignoring the obvious errors like that... Written by lawyers, I guess, rather than the people who read medical papers or follow the debates?

What about COVID-sniffing dogs? From what I’ve seen from reports of a few studies, they’re about as accurate as rapid tests. FB have a stance on the dogs?
