BS or Fact: German Officials Meeting in 2020 With US Social Media To Control Covid Chatter?

 Well....somewhat factual.

BILD covered most of the story in the past week, and it centers on the German government of Merkel-coalition in 2020....having face-to-face talks with Goggle, FB/Meta, and Twitter.  

The Ministry of Interior and the German Federal Press Office....were the 'leaders' of this effort.

What's likely to occur now?  I would suggest a truth-commission likely gets created, and at least twelve months spent....trying to organize what was said....demanded, and accepted.

The sad part of this deal?  If you were thinking that most of what you were told in 2020 and 2021 was true....you (as a German) might now be skeptical and wondering what was BS, and what was fact.  It also gives radical left/right enthusiasts a reason to hype the 'control'.

How Merkel will spin this?  I'm just guessing here, but she'll say that people needed a filtering process....for their own good.  To which someone will ask if she was being BS'ed by her own people.  She'll likely do a funny grin and respond that that would be impossible because she's an intellectual....thus not prone to believe BS.

The mess left now?  Well....it's just another situation where the public sentiment was conspiracy theories....which turned out to be true.
