show people where they were the target of misinformation

Ah perfect, let Dorsey and Zuck be the arbiters of truth.

That definitely has not backfired during covid right? As I recall both platforms suppressed any mention of a lab leak theory as “conspiracy”.

That's not what I said. It could very well come from an independent organization. Fb and others would just be responsible for putting it in front of the people's eyes that they have shown disinformation to. Is that a perfect solution? Probably not but what the hell else are we gonna do?

What do you suggest we do instead?
