First of all, that’s censorship. Period. Don’t try to dress it up. And that’s what they’re admitting to. COVID is another. I can only imagine what else is soon to be discovered.

This is how it always goes. First, “we didn’t do that!” Then, “what we did really isn’t that bad!” ( you are here). Next is, “we’re saving democracy!” Lastly, “this needs to be done and if you don’t agree, you’re a threat!”

I don't think they should have suppressed it. I don't own FB or Twitter or any of the social media platforms. If the people who own them decide to impose rules, or suspend accounts, or dialogue, that's their choice. I don't agree with it, but they don't ask me. However, they apparently allowed the discussions to continue, and finally lifted any suppressive actions.

"Covid is another?" What does that mean? Another what?

Misinformation is a thing, and there's no objective definition of what it is...so, we're stuck with it.

thanks for showing us this perfectly reasonable response to an interviewer trying her best to put her subject in a corner to get the answer she wanted out of him. I am impressed by the eloquence of his retort to what she wanted to insinuate, which is that the election was contested for no other reason then that it was not won by Trump. There are good reasons that that election should be contested, and he gave one very good one..

That being said, I repeat what I've already said; which is that he should have conceded, just for appearances if nothing else. But the election as it was executed was bogus.

Here's Vance being every bit the delusional cultists as you. Of course, he doesn't really believe what he's saying.

Okay, from the BBC link:

"Facebook did not completely ban sharing of the article, but instead limited how much its algorithm automatically shared it to other people for a week, while third-party fact-checkers tried to verify the reporting.

So while people could post the article and discuss it, it was less likely to spread organically to new users."

That hardly sounds like silencing the public, to me.

I don't know that I have a big problem with Musk throwing his weight behind Trump. I don't like that it could help Trump win, of course, and it affirms that Elon isn't someone anyone with a brain should admire. But is it legally or morally wrong?

That said, efforts like these should certainly be considered campaign contributions. We need a way to reasonably assess the value of that kind of message manipulation. In principle, it's similar to advertising, and advertising isn't free.

Of course campaign contributions have very few restrictions since Citizens United, but we should at least be able to know what the dark money is doing.

You guys should read your own articles before spreading more disinformation.

"Facebook did not completely ban sharing of the article, but instead limited how much its algorithm automatically shared it to other people for a week, while third-party fact-checkers tried to verify the reporting."

How about small"ish" ball. We are playing small ball by default with RJ and EC on the court together. I would like to see RJ's minutes come down for more size at the 2 spot .. and I'd like to see what, or how, Seth has developed both at the one and two. If hubs stays with his all in on RJ for all things I think he's both misusing and sacrificing future development for a legacy player that's getting a bit long in the tooth in his college career. jmo

I get your gripe for RJ but just to want more size at the two is not enough imo. In essence you’re saying let’s sit the acc banner hanging player that’s proven, just for more size. If anything, EC better have learned how to shoot. If not then we’ll get the size at the two with him on the bench. I’m excited on having some talent to choose from for sure. And I agree Al, HD better bow up this year too.

GREEN BEANS !!! One of the most memorable throw downs I can remember .. and an incredibly athletic player that was always an exemplary UNC student athlete all the way around. You done good Danny !!!!! Congrats and I hope your retirement is long, healthy and enjoyable in every way.

There will be matchups and whole games where it is necessary to play two bigs at times, but I think the smart money is that small ball is our default lineup.
