Facebook removed fake accounts in India until it saw BJP politician was involved
It seems to me on this topic almost everyone (including myself) is in a completely hypocritical position.<p>We want facebook to take action in countries where we disagree, but not take action in areas&#x2F;countries where we agree. Here is a perfect example.<p>I imagine most people criticising Facebook here were in favour of facebook wiping the hunter biden story from everywhere. Because one is a conservative government, the other is a risk to electing a left wing one.<p>The other situation china. Most people find it outrageous that Google tried to get into china by building a censoring search engine. Yet expect Google and Facebook to filter disinformation elsewhere that is a threat to their side, or even just articles sceptical of lockdown.<p>Unfortunately in both cases we can&#x27;t have both. These are directly conflicting situations, you can have one, but you can&#x27;t have both.
