And the difference is that the US government can tell them to stop doing it.

Facebook's owners & their peers have a massive amount of control over public policy, so no, I don't think the US government can tell them to stop doing it.

Yet the government convinced both Facebook and Twitter to suppress both the Hunter laptop and information about the Covid vaccines that we all know is true now - that it doesn’t prevent the spread of Covid and that immunity wears off.

I’m not anti-vax. I’ve been shot up with Covid vaccines more often than I can count and I was early in line for the J and J one shot and I took an mRNA booster before it was recommended by the US once I started reading it was recommended by other country’s health departments.

But where we are now is totally the fault of Biden and the Democratic establishment.

No argument here. Most Democrats, including Biden, and all Republicans serve at the whims of Facebook's owners and their peers. Hence the enormous handout to Facebook in this decision.
