".. this censorship activity killed people .. the reality is that if the First Amendment .. if it had actually been in place during the pandemic would have saved lives, would have led to less damage, less destruction .. fewer people dead.”
TNI censorship to which META was a signatory - without Trust and Safety team FB will no longer be able to contribute!
With the support given by govt to washing hands, wearing masks directed to antiviral nasal sprays applied each morning before meeting other people - broadcast like sunscreen messages and insect repellant etc, we would have been in a very different position early in the pandemic. But it’s all been about Pfizer pandemic warlord profits. Don’t suggest anything that will stop everyone getting mRNA vax and Treatment Paxlovid
With the pandemic it was kill any covid info by global censorship of 40 major news services:
The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) is a global partnership of major news organizations and technology companies dedicated to controlling information.
Members include the BBC, Associated Press (AP), Agence France-Presse (AFP), CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, The Hindu, Reuters, and The Washington Post. Technology partners such as Google/YouTube, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft, and Twitter pre Musk are also involved. 
TNI expanded its presence in the Asia-Pacific region by adding several news organizations, including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) from Australia, Dawn from Pakistan, Indian Express and NDTV from India, Kompas from Indonesia, and NHK from Japan. 
This collaboration enables these organizations to share insights and best practices to effectively decide what can be published. The TNI focuses on creating systems for rapid alerts about disinformation, sharing intelligence in real-time, promoting media education, and developing engineering solutions to authenticate trusted news sources. 
The trusted news initiatives sounds so far reaching I can’t help but wonder if it’s pharma funded. Honestly, pharma funds everything to do with their bottom line. They are creeping to have control of it all. It’s very scary.
I asked ChatGPT if Pfizer has benefited enormously by TNI news slant
The answer interestingly avoids anything definitive but businesses dousing competition is very very real. Big pharma gets many novel products by company acquisition and then the choice is killing or grooming…
ChatGPT answer..
The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) focuses on countering misinformation, particularly in areas such as elections, public health, and major global crises. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this meant aligning with official health guidance, which often included promoting vaccination and countering skepticism about vaccines, treatments, and alternative health claims.
Pfizer, as one of the primary manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines, certainly benefited from widespread vaccine promotion and the suppression of misinformation that could have discouraged uptake. However, the extent to which TNI’s editorial policies directly benefited Pfizer—beyond the general promotion of vaccines—remains a subject of debate. Critics argue that TNI’s approach may have led to the suppression of legitimate scientific debate and alternative treatment discussions, which could have favored pharmaceutical companies’ narratives.
Without direct evidence of funding links between Pfizer and TNI, it’s more accurate to say that Pfizer indirectly benefited from TNI’s stance rather than claiming direct influence or collusion. Would you like me to investigate further?

BUT pos folks leaving FB in droves now due to effective censorship et al...I basically haven't used if for years now..MANY folks going to where debate is unfettered in comments where REAL synergistic magic happens... eg Substack ...HOWEVER seems their MO is buying out organisations doing this & bringing in "debate/comments controls" ...EG The Conversation, Unheard & most notably for me Antiwar.com done many yrs ago. It was for many years totally free commentary & discussion....brilliant....Love The Demasi x
Re: "After all, this is the same platform that orchestrated an era of unparalleled online censorship, silencing inconvenient truths under the guise of “misinformation control.”"
One of the so-called 'experts' cited, Nathan Bartlett, says: “Influenza and COVID vaccines injected into the arm have saved millions of lives by protecting against an otherwise fatal respiratory disease.”
Meanwhile, in an article published in January 2023, Anthony Fauci and colleagues say: "As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases."
In other words, it looks like enormous fraud has been committed in foisting these medical interventions upon the public.
And why doesn’t MSM attack Zuck like they do Musk.
It’s just that little advertising connection.
Where Tesla and Elons companies have not advertised - Facebook has played that system almost to the point that sensible people leave FB.
BUT it’s not just being in lock step with advertisers but also corp governance FB style has no real shareholder control where it copies Murdoch with A and B shares and Zuck hoards power and advertising revenue to add a little pocket money for wealth toys.
Then he can’t stand the idea that FB might have to pay for news articles or cop fines for allowing children on the platforms. So he will change FB to maximise profits always.
His removal of fact checking and adding community notes are the sign of one of the most self serving people in the world.
I don’t like Zuck and actually I think he lacks any morals.
I’ve been banned by him on FB a couple of times. I’ve had posts sharing EFFECTIVE COVID treatment shadowbanned - it’s all about following govt FBI controls and staying Trump fashionable
Brava Maryanne, thanks for not pulling any of your punches! “Blood on his hands” is exactly right, real world damage with no real world consequences. With no First Amendment I fear that Europe is lost as it digs ever deeper into censorship. The UK is as bad as or worse than the whole lot of them. The scandal of the Los Angeles fires has at least in America overshadowed the decades old and ongoing scandal of the so-called grooming gangs. Starmer has shot down in parliament the call for a national inquiry into this scandal and is sending his thought police around to silence those, including the victims, who are posting concern and outrage on social media. By latest count this Pakistani Muslim sex trafficking has been going on in fifty cities and has caused unspeakable damage to the lives of up to a million children!
Understood. The harm that’s been done can never be undone but it’s never too late to get the accountability thing going. Starmer comes from the bottom of the barrel. Just look at him—there’s no light in his eyes. He has the look of someone who is dead both from within and from without. And yet he is the leader of a once beloved country that once contributed so much to the civilized world.
My mum helped the housebound mother of a Pakistani family in Lincolnshire with conversational English. That resulted in an invitation to an arranged marriage of the son. A girl barely16 was brought out from Pakistan the week of the wedding. She spent the whole wedding in tears - she had never met the son who she was marrying. That was 40 yrs ago. There was a continuation of the homeland culture of enforced marriage copied in England. So women had no human rights and suffered badly in those days - culture does not change fast. It is sad that Britain has not encouraged cultural change and victim rights.
I’ve done pretty extensive research. The peer reviewed paper
Sept 2024 - Astodrimer Sodium Nasal Spray versus Placebo in Non-Hospitalised Patients with COVID-19: A Randomised, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Would seem newsworthy when Paxlovid only had EPIC-HR high risk unvaxed participants in rolling results approx and failed EPIC-SR at 51% and relied on 44% RWE efficacy hospitalisation another fail v placebo. Younger vaxed have NO treatment available. With waves of COVID continuing over 5 years - isn’t it newsworthy that an antiviral nasal spray achieved efficacy in vaxed over 45yr olds. An article that even noted the how placebo in drug trials is easier than placebo in nasal spray trials where they have to use Saline for blinding and in younger people with strong immune systems saline can be effective in reducing viral load. So for even young people with weaker natural immunity antiviral nasal sprays could help.
It deserves a good discussion like masking, hand washing, social distancing which often treated an article on ABC or SMH etc.
As my doctor said for so many with COVID I have nothing to offer.
BTW I looked up what GENERAL COVID CARE means:
Rest
Hydration
Over the counter - paracetamol ibuprofen throat lozenges and cough syrups.
Monitor oxygen
Isolation
Surely information about the SCIENCE of antiviral nasal sprays is important
AND WHY ARE HEALTH AUTHORITIES omitting this information
Absolutely. And the fact that Dana White is now on the board more or less confirms that. IMO, White will definitely keep Zuck in check, and will likely tell those stupid EU bureaucrats where to go when they try to pressure Meta.
The best weapon is to close down or log out of Facegram and ignore it completely. Zuckerberg’s words are too little too late. Facegram is boring, full of ads and those mindless reels.
The only thing that is transparent about Mark Zuckerberg is his fear of being lambasted for his collusion with the Biden administration, by the incoming Trump administration.
Whenever Zuckerberg has presented himself in front of a Congress Committee, he has never come across as being open, honest, or someone who knows what transparency and integrity is.
No, Zuckerberg believes, in his very shallow, naive outlook on personality and character, that credibility it is all about the words one says at the present, and that no actions or words from the past, are at all pertinent.
Rogan’s softball interview allowed the disingenuous displacement of accountability; the surveillance tool Facebook is burrows deeper into the shifting topography…
Generally agree the new way of controlling discourse is better. I do think it cannot be open slather. Generally people who are given too much rope tend to use it. Lets hope the middle ground can be protected.

Great article.He’s just manoeuvring.

A cesspool of cons, scams, stalking material and narcissistic nincompoops.
Seeing Zuck with curls is interesting though ! Odds on it's a wig, I reckon him and Elmo have the same wig guy ! Bouffants for Billionaires.

Re: "After all, this is the same platform that orchestrated an era of unparalleled online censorship, silencing inconvenient truths under the guise of “misinformation control.”"
For example, here is a discussion between me and Graham Hood and John Larter which Facebook labelled as "Partly false. Reviewed by third-party fact-checkers." https://www.facebook.com/grahamhoodformerpilot/posts/492738042279842/
Here's an AAP 'fact check' article about it titled "You can't vaccinate against respiratory diseases claim is baseless", 20 September 2022: https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/you-cant-vaccinate-against-respiratory-diseases-claim-is-baseless/
One of the so-called 'experts' cited, Nathan Bartlett, says: “Influenza and COVID vaccines injected into the arm have saved millions of lives by protecting against an otherwise fatal respiratory disease.”
What's the evidence for that statement? Bartlett hyperlinks to a highly questionable 'modelling' study out of the notorious Imperial College London: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(22)00320-6/fulltext
Meanwhile, in an article published in January 2023, Anthony Fauci and colleagues say: "As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases."
In other words, it looks like enormous fraud has been committed in foisting these medical interventions upon the public.
See my email to Fauci and co: The biggest crime in history...the influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine scam, 27 April 2023: https://vaccinationispolitical.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/the-biggest-crime-in-history.the-influenza-and-sars-cov-2-vaccine-scam.pdf
And to get back to Facebook, it and its 'fact checkers' controlled the narrative on this subject.
And why doesn’t MSM attack Zuck like they do Musk.

Yes, but all a bit late to the table with the raping gangs scandal. Tommy Robinson and Peter McLouglin’s book details it all.
