From a quick Google search:

> “In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps,” spokeswoman Dani Lever said. “We’re continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge.”

Literally nothing in the quote posted by the OP, or the report in question claims "that COVID-19 is man made". In fact, it's doing the exact opposite. It's saying that it is impossible to know for certain how the initial human infection occurred without further information, but that most agencies agreed that the virus was not genetically engineered or developed as a weapon. Details matter.

I searched and saw that too. However banning the article isn't the same as banning users who post the article, so I was curious if there was a source for that.

While saying that they might know where the virus came from seems to be allowed, saying for example “I think China created the virus via gain of function research” would still get you banned from Facebook today according to these rules: https://m.facebook.com/help/230764881494641
