If Facebook and Twitter have finally taken some active measures to eliminate the spread of false information, then why doesn't ET? https://about.fb.com/news/2020/12/coronavirus/ https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/medical-misinformation-policy How about it?
ofc not. I'm resigned to simply waiting them out. They've already lost enough to swing elections in Florida (limiting our need to steal them).
It's too late... too much garbage (misinformation/disinformation) has been posted at this forum that it will be a mountain of a task to clean it up. ET will go down in history as a welcoming place for such. In fact, I think it will become one of the top attraction themes here for the forum. Joking aside, ET does not have any staff (moderator) formally educated in Infectious Diseases or the like. Having such would then enable proper moderation of the misinformation/disinformation crap. Seriously, Facebook and Twitter have the staff and algorithms to monitor/manage the misinformation/disinformation on their platforms... Elitetrader.com does not. What's next ? The forum could get some Covid sponsors, Health & Science sponsors but they may quickly leave after seeing the continuation of the misinformation/disinformation being allowed. By the way, look at what the singer Neil Young is doing. He's had enough with Spotify allowing misinformation/disinformation on its platform...he's pulling all of his music off the platform and going elsewhere because Spotify views it "differently" as in not able to understand what's being posted on its platform. wrbtrader
And yet, NOT ONE piece of mis/dis information has been presented to Baron for fact checking, not to be confused with opinion matching. Good on Spotify for not bowing to a small number of ideological-based complaints from people who have a microphone. And good on Neil Young for being a mensch and following through with his "threat". He is entitled to his opinions and beliefs. You don't like, you are free to go elsewhere. No muss, no fuss.
I am waiting for some "misinformation" myself as I just see some whiners and complainers without any evidence whatsoever in this thread.
Minor point, but it didn't quite happen this way. Neil Young put out a statement and told his managers that Spotify had to remove Rogan or he would leave. Bottom line, he said it was either Young or Rogan. Spotify chose Rogan and immediately started removing all of Neil Young's material from their service.
Because the Politics and Health & Fitness forums are replete with false "information," be it about the wonders of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, or the "dangers" of the mRNA vaccines. Where to begin? What's your "opinion" on drinking bleach?
You and your brethren are the assholes spouting bullshit without meaningful evidence. It is people like you who are prolonging the pandemic by not adhering to the measures that would put it behind us that much sooner. Scourge.
