"Disinformation is not tolerated for good reason."

lol...Disinformation is defined by the one who is the authority. There is no such a thing as information and disinformation in our world today. The one who has the money and/or power, decides what is the information and what is the disinformation, whatever sources and data you can bring.

You don't debate with the authority, you fight it or you leave.


I don't share my view anymore here on Covid and Ukraine, because the person who has the authority here has opposed views as mine.

With that attitude I can see why you were banned. Disinformation is based on facts, not on who has the money and power. Hasbara gets exposed and debunked all the time with facts and evidence, and is spread by those with money and power to combat reality coming out by those without.

It's the same with Ukraine, Russian propaganda gets debunked with facts, not with authority. Covid disinformation no different.

But it's true Meta and Twitter decide which disinformation and propaganda they allow and what they will remove. Same as major news outlets. That's why you look for consensus from watch dogs and major organizations as well as well researched opinion pieces and results of fact checkers.

Disinformation kills. The genocide in Myanmar was stoked up by Facebook, the pandemic claimed many more lives thanks to disinformation, allowed Russia to invade Ukraine, and now the Gaza genocide gets the support of the Israeli public as well as the USA.


However "You don't debate with the authority, you fight it or you leave." is spot on what is happening in Israel/Palestine today. All debate had stalled, lead to nowhere with the occupation and apartheid only getting worse. So here we are, leave is no option for Palestinians, hence fighting back. Yet the conflict can't be solved by force, only debate can settle it.

The only way out of conflict is to negotiate peace or complete genocide. Colonial powers have all opted for the latter, yet the era of colonialism is over. Problem is Russia and Israel are still living in the 19th century when it comes to colonial ideologies.
