False stories were allowed for weeks or months after facts were know without repurcussions

> laptop story

Stories about Hunter Biden were ACTIVELY suppressed on claims of "russian disinformation" without proof that they were in fact RD.

Stories about Trump with LESS evidence and more proof of "disinformation" are allowed to run unchecked.

> deliberately concocting false stories to further political agendas

And the same can be said of his detractors... INCLUDING among facebook/twitter. Both floating unverified stories and suppressing stories that haven't been proven false.

> explicitly sow discord

again... all the same is allowed from the left. Biden is allowed to claim "police treat BLM worse" when facts say the opposite... details that go against "trump mob violent" (IE antifa/blm individuals and groups in the "mob", cops letting protestors in, etc) are suppressed...

You want a slippery slope? allowing "facebook and twitter" to determine truth is THE slippery slope. They are biased and have been proven wrong repeatedly.

There is no "trying to climb out". Giving them unfettered power is digging the hole deeper.
