I know, but the social media companies are free to decide that for themselves. It's their platforms. In fact, they try to keep a lot at arms length, but someone has to decide, and as soon as they do, someone else will disagree. Most times misinformation is pretty obvious, but there will always be fuzzy edges. At what stage does it become censorship?

Private businesses can determine what they permit on their platforms, but as they own them, no-one else has any rights on content. If they decide it's not what they want to appear, then it won't. If you to say it, then no-one is stopping you from finding another outlet, even in the street if you cannot get published, so long as it's lawful. Only governments can make it unlawful, thus censoring.

Neil Oliver on the Covid crises of leadership. Apparently there are now 80 Tory Mps planning to vote against vaccine passports.....it's scary that there are no libertarians existing anymore in Labour or....quite absurdly the liberal democrat party all planning to vote for them.

"The Labour leadership supported the move, but the Liberal Democrats and many on Boris Johnson's own Conservative benches opposed it."

Explain your sentence construction point. It is indeed true. Which virologist is saying any of this nonsense? Forget the sentence stuff, it's too puerile. As for the article, you clearly didn't read it.

Liberal Democrat MP Daisy Cooper told the BBC her party would vote for masks in limited settings but against the introduction of coronavirus passes and from the latest BBC updates it appears to infer that they have all done so: "The Labour leadership supported the move, but the Liberal Democrats and many on Boris Johnson's own Conservative benches opposed it." Well, I tip my hat to them on the passes, as I can't see how voting for that would square with the very core of civil liberties.
