So the government asked Facebook to be more diligent in their moderation and remove (some) lies that lead to more people dying from a preventable disease, and FB complied of their own accord.

I’m not one to ever defend Facebook, but… good?

What is the issue here?

Facebook happily serves misinformation to its users because it drives engagement.

As much as we need to tackle people spreading BS, removing content on the whims of a Govt request is something we be very concerned about, even corporate pressure to remove content is concern.
