My favourite thing was getting sitebanned from Reddit for advocating the use of face masks, especially for high risk populations (ie the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions).
Apparently I was spreading misinformation because WHO said masks don’t help the general public.

Do you have any evidence of this? There were lots of people advocating masks on r/Coronavirus since January. I've never heard of a site-ban for conduct that doesn't violate Reddit's TOS.

That is odd because I have seen people advocating the use of face masks on various reddits since the begining of covid.

The question:
“Why is it that Leftist terroristic threats are given a greater level of leeway versus Rightist threats?”
has a companion question which is equally pertinent:
“Why is it that Rightist violence is met with restrained law enforcement responses versus the heavy handed responses during occasions of Leftist violence?”

Where was the heavy handed law enforcement response during BLM protests the last 6 months? I don’t recall any protestors being shot.
That said other speech that may contain lies and deceit, etc, should be protected free speech. Because, as we know, facts change. Just like Vitamin D & Covid. Oh, now it's okay. Before it was a lie.
