I actually thought their moderation had got better, but then I started getting dodgy adds - autogenerated faux daily mirror articles etc all leading to crypto or matched betting or leveraged stock trading scams. I reported a number with details of why they were misleading … none were taken down as they didn’t violate policy. Moderation still an absolute joke.

Imagine they published articles by the NY Times, the Washington Post, HuffPost, The Guardian, CNN and MSNBC ... how could social media ever tolerate such a gigantic load of misinformation? They might think that there was a "Russian collusion".

Or imagine they allowed Biden, Pelosi or Kamala to speak in videos published on social media. People who heard them might not realize immediately that every word they said was a lie. It should be obvious to anyone with an IQ above 95, but there are some really dumb people in this world...
