As publishers you have a duty to ensure that iHub conforms to some minimum standards regarding the truth.

Surely you jest?! There are tens of millions of diametrically opposite “truths” in user posts here. And tens of thousands demands by posters that we use our powers to suppress posters with “truths” opposite to their own. Which we have declined to do, time and time again. And will continue to do so.

It mystifies me when people desire or expect others to act as their arbiters of truth. Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Who gets to decide "truth"? Dr Fauci? The guy who said we don't need to wear masks until he said we need to wear masks! Kamala? Who said she would not take "the Trump vaccine"? YouTube twitter or Facebook who banned anyone that mentioned that COVID may have come from the Wuhan lab? And now that is being looked into?

There is no such thing as "settled science". Science is a process that questions everything. Einsteins theory of relativity is being questioned!

I much prefer to let EVERYONE speak. The valid thoughts will percolate to the top and the wingnuts will be dismissed. But to grant censorship to any particular "body" is asking for trouble. Let ideas be debated. If your idea is strong, let's attack it and try to bring it down. THAT is the scientific process.

Watch this if you can, this is by a lefty progressive.
