Facebook Allowed 650,000 Posts Attacking 2020 Election Prior To Capitol Riot - Ring of Fire

According to a major new report from ProPublica and The Washington Post, there were at least 650,000 posts made on the social media site between election day and January 6th that directly attacked the legitimacy of the 2020 election. This comes out to an average of 10,000 posts per day during that time period. Facebook has tried to downplay their role in hosting this content, but there is no denying the results of this investigation. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

2. FB is a huge enabler of fascism

fuck FB or whatever the fuck they call themselves now

3. And I'll bet most of them originated in a couple of dozen accounts that would have been

perfectly simple for FB to trace and suspend.

I can't remember where I read it, but I read that the vast majority of twitter threads posting vaccine misinformation came from 74 accounts.
