Debunking the FakeBook "independent" "fact-checkers" with the reality that the virus may indeed have originated in a laboratory that was IN FACT actively doing such gain-of-function research as was reported by a leaker (researcher) who fled for her life over a year ago, back when it was called "conspiracy theory". It's only conspiracy until it's proven to be fact.

Facebook was supposed to be a public platform, but it morphed into something else. Who will decide what facebook is?

"We're continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge."

There is nothing wrong with this (not that facebook doesn't have a huge lot of things to be criticized for). One thing is to push one very implausible theory based on false or misleading information, another is just to include it as part of what a responsible scientific community has to consider as theoretical possible (but still very unlikely) before discarding everything that proves to be wrong, specially when making it clear there is no evidence yet to support it.
