Ja, Kelly I wasn't concerned about FaceBook or the approximately 14 grandmas who are still active there.  I was far more interested in how information was handled on TwitterX, which has huge exposure.  They were shadow-banning and outright banning in some cases, for posting about the possible lab-leak origin of COVID.  

Do let me be clear on this.  I oppose false information, and I am cool with banning false information.  But not for banning misinformation, malinformation or disinformation, so long as it is true or might be.

Note that shadow banning misinformation which turned out to be true or plausible is what motivated Elon Musk to buy Twitter and convert it to X.
