I don’t like Facebook and more websites
“The Social Networks: Twitter suspended Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for 12 hours for posting false information about the coronavirus. Greene has opposed vaccines and masks as a way to stop the pandemic. In the last two days she argued that Covid-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or over age 65, and said vaccines should not be required. Meanwhile, the White House and other federal agencies are pushing Facebook to hand over data about how anti-vaccine information spreads online, and have accused the company of withholding key information. President Biden last week accused the company of “killing people” by allowing false information to circulate. “Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it,” Biden said. He said he hoped that instead of “taking it personally,” Facebook would “do something about the misinformation.”

There's a lot of harmful rubbish about the vaccines on Facebook. Even so, I don't want any government to suppress what it deems to be misinformation. I seem to recall a president who thought that term applied to most of the media.
If Facebook opts to suppress what it views as misinformation, that's its business. Facebook isn't the government. It can establish any standards it wishes. If we don't like the standards we can stay away from Facebook.
