FB said it to prevent it but it is so unchecked and basically Biased that it is just stupid.

you see, to "them" it is checked. they checked it and it didn't fit their narrative, so they deemed it fake news , when its not.
and it is not "biased", to "them". facts do not matter to them, what they want us to think does.
basicly a "very very very' small amount of people are dictating to us what to think.

Go check and see what these Independents actually are. It is just a bunch of people with no supervision.

Q: WHO ARE FACEBOOK'S THIRD-PARTY FACT-CHECKING PARTNERS?

A: We work with many third-party fact-checkers certified through a non-partisan International Fact-Checking Network. See table below.

non-partisan my ass. probably a bunch of berny bro's.

Exactly~! Third party so not held to FB rules or has to answer to anyone.

From what someone shared in a vape group on FB, it's not just vapers getting hit. Talks from a non vape related channel discussing some new additions Congress is trying to pass on the whole child protection coppa crap. How they don't want to see anything sponsored if it's potentially for kids 16 and younger, they want to take away award based anything which may mean pulling the 'likes' (so one vid doesn't seem to be more popular than another) and even targeting 'unboxing' vids.

The fuckery extends beyond a war on vaping. If this kind of shit goes through, YT in general will be hosed on multiple fronts.

I agree with you there- very disappointing if You Tube bans Vape videos and reviews.
When I started vaping over 5 years ago, no one I knew vaped, so I turned to You Tube.
Back then it was Indoor Smokers,P Busardo Grimm Green and Tia Vapes that I watched to learn more about vaping and the latest and greatest gear.
These people helped keep me vaping, and off of cigarettes.
I still watch You Tube reviews on how to set up my mod, or what RTA or RDA builds and wicking how to's. Or even new gear I am considering buying.
So much easier for me to watch someone demonstrate these things than describe it in written form.


Same here. I just watched one several days ago on how to load juice in the Aspire tank lol.

Oh I know it. Not something I care to imagine. Pretty typical, the community discovers or creates something cool then corporations and commercialism come along, water it down and kill it. Not the first time it's become a problem with companies merging, buying each other out and dominating a market. Companies like ATT do it all the time. I had bell south or some shit for a phone service when I still had a landline. ATT comes in, scoops it up and service goes down while price goes up. Glad to be rid of it. Fast forward and I'm enjoying directv, along comes ATT buys that up too. Service is shittier, prices went up. Someone needs to find the ceo, give them a swift kick in the nuts and tell them 'stop.. just stop.'

And with tech companies in particular so much for the supposed monopoly laws, seems like it does very little to slow them down in practice. Competition and diversity of services is critical. Without it everything goes to hell with some nazi at the helm. So much for 'don't be evil'.

My first Cell Phone said Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile~! And it was big enough to fit that name on it~! I still have it if I need to prove it and take a picture.

NY Bell after the original ATT break up. They ended up combining with Bell Atlantic and became Verizon. Of the baby Bells, Verizon and USWest are the only one's not swallowed up by SWBell/ATT.

I don’t think my family had them, but maybe. I need to get a land line phone since we’ve paying for one, but just never bought the phone for it. It’s bundled in with everything.

Hows vaping in the UK? Seems very sane over there!
