Asking people or even mandating people to wear a face mask the entire time they are out of their homes and with other people, regardless of distancing, in order to protect oneself - and anyone else - is not politicizing wearing masks.
It's taking science seriously and doing what is necessary. Mocking people because they wear a mask, mocking and insulting health officials simply trying to warn the public as the president and his enablers have done, THAT is politicizing mask-wearing. #JustSaying #WearAMaskSaveLives
@TonyStark It will be interesting how Joe BIden turns all this around, or even if he can, maybe the ruling against facebook will lead to a lawsuit by families of victims of covid. Sure following science is the best thing but not allowing all the anti mask / science lot to just spread nonsense would be even better, the platform has to take some responsibility here surely,
@TonyStark I think the future is to decentralise.
The current central model has failed too much money in it for people to care about the consequences.
@TonyStark Maybe both the election of Donald Trump to the white house, brexit and other issues have finally woken people up to this, hopefully this is the beginning of the end fo big tech, the tax vote in California is a step in the right direction, in fact these taxes could fund UBI, and start to level things up a little.
@zleap
That would be a good use of that money, agreed.
We've needed a leveling of the playing field for quite some time.
@zleap
It's going to be a tough job. The amount of sheer disinformation is so high.
I do agree that social media hosts need to take responsibility for what goes out. We're in the post-truth we've been warned about.
It's one of the reasons I started hosting an instance, even though it's quite small.
