For some reason people use their legal names on Facebook more than they do Twitter. Twitter has a more 'anonymous' vibe even though it's nearly impossible to have true anonymity on Twitter.

Reminder that the "lab leak" was conspiracy theory last year but not this year (regardless of being proven or not, it is now plausible and not fully censored).

I'd like to see more factoring in past mistakes and wrong-doings of both social media and big media outlets. It seems they easily get away with saying one thing one year, and then something different the next, and somehow it's not a big deal when it can tell us something about what could possibly be going on right now.

Twitter also enables the posting of lewd content. Is it a coincidence?

Conspiracy theory is the word used to discredit truth.
