    Wrong. They censored by what they are reporting/to be, at least 3 posts. For all we know it could be 10, 100 or 1,000, 10,000+. Also, worth noting that Facebook does not normally censor, they down-throttle posts. So they will be seen by a lot less people as a way to get around from later whitewashing themselves from the icky word of “censoring.” Despite the end result being the same.

    “Health Canada finally had to provide the documents – two whole pages /s – no less than 11 months into being asked to release them. The documents concern the country’s government – specifically the Health Ministry – asking Facebook to remove “at least three” posts published by users.”

    It is a good way to lie without lying, or lying by omission. Corps. Tech and otherwise does this type of thing all the time.

    I so dislike Facebook.

    Also, fun fact, FB’s “Fact Checks,” are just opinion. Sourcing the NY because it is not like CNN is going to report this.

    Case Citation: Stossel v. Meta Platforms, Inc., 2022 WL 6791430 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 11, 2022)

    Relevant parts of Judge Ruling for this are on page 12-14 from case were FB admits this. The whole case was ridiculous except for FB admitting this.
