Great article - everything that generates likes and shares on FB generates revenue for FB and FB will know exactly how much revenue is generated around the anti-vax traffic. They will never stop this themselves because as we know business knows no morals. What certain types of businesses say and what they do are two very different things. It will only ever be stopped by enforced regulation and fines that get their attention, but the trouble with that is that such a regime could only be put in place by those people who want to be popular. So, it goes on. And People die.
Here's another bit of Facebook trivia. Many of my Trump-supporting family and friends proudly announced on FB during the US Presidential election that they were closing their accounts and moving to Parler because of FB's perceived bias against Trump. Fast forward 9 months, they are all still on FB. They never left. They can't stop posting, reposting, liking or commenting. Addictive innit?
