First it was Youtube (and presumably Google) banning and closing down the very kooky David Icke..

And now, Facebook have take the same step. First, they were only removing content but he seems to have caused them too many problems and his deliberate misinformation has forced them to act against him.

videos of Mr Icke making "untrue and conspiracist claims about Covid-19" had been watched more than 30 million times online.As examples, it cited:

  • a YouTube interview in which Mr Icke falsely claimed that a Jewish group was behind coronavirus
  • an Instagram post in which he falsely claimed 5G mobile networks left people unable to absorb oxygen
  • a YouTube video in which he falsely claimed it was not possible to catch a virus from shaking hands
  • a Twitter post in which he falsely claimed Germany was moving to "legalise rape" for Muslim men


Well, the nutjob only has twitter left - failing that Reddit or one of the 'chan' forums left.
 
That's the lunatic who is always going about Lizard Men being our secret overlords, right?

He claims that the British royal family are 7 feet tall lizards. He doesn't have a lot of evidence for the claim. The forums on his site are hilarious. There are nutcases who believe him!
 
What a travesty! Everyone who's not a sheeple knows that the long-running television series V was a documentary.

I think public social sites such as YouTube and Facebook shouldn't cut the content, but instead create Section called something like Crackpot Corner or Wacky and Wired Stuff. Then People will still get to "express" whatever nonsense their pea brain comes up with and the rest of the participants don't have to share space with the nutjobs.
 
More alarming than Icke is the fact he has devoted followers who actually believe, discuss, and debate his insane spoutings.

How do you reason with people like that when facts are inconsequential the them.

You end up probably becoming part of their conspiracy theory.

Haha, welcome to debate politics. One of my favourite threads (not because I started it) was asking after one particularly embrassing Trump press conference if he'd been embarrassed or he "had stuck it to the media."

50/50 split in the poll.
You can show some people links and actual video of something yet their eyes/minds see something else entirely.

You also get utter morons coming on and spouting off about something which can easily be researched from several different factual links explaining it clearly & concisely or even video of the events and participants and you still get absolutely retarded comments back.

Here, I've decided to absolutely take Chagos' advice and leave well alone.
