Meanwhile, during the same period, countries where corporate profits aren’t the be-all-and-end-all of decision-making got fed up with these dangerous woo peddlers.

Wait … I thought Facebook was allowing political ads. So why would they take anything down because it was “political?” They were supposedly taking down some things (ads?) if they were untrue (but allowing false political ads). But here we have legit ads that are ostensibly true, and they are getting taken down.
Also, these pro-vaxx ads presumably paid for ad space like any other ad. So … I’m super confused as to why FB would take them down.

From what I gather, Facebook considers pro-vaccination ads to be political, but since they weren’t labeled by the advertiser as being political, Facebook banned them.

Pro-vaxx is political, anti-vaxx is not political? WTF? Not that Zuck cares, but damn, people, kids die! I’m, sorry, was that a political statement? I do not give a fuck. Vaccinate your kids before this gets completely out of hand.

Maybe when you blame the universe for the tragedies that have befallen your family, this is your way to get back at the universe. Bit by bit.

I see anti-vaxxers as being funded by Big Lung.

They’ve had enormous tragedies. They
where both horrible and horribly public.
Every family has had their own enormous tragedies- much more privately.
The trick is not trying to take back from the world piece by piece; but contributing to it. And that has been something they’ve excelled at. But when they’re wrong- they need calling out- just as we all do. This vaccine nonsense hurts people- it hurts real people- often powerless people every day.
That’s not the legacy he wants. That’s not the legacy we have wantA.

Like in China.
When money is not enough to get something,… just bring more money.

They also accept political ad for Pro-Beijing view on HK from a country where Facebook is blocked.

Money is the only things matters for Facebook
