Social media wants a discussion-- any discussion --as unfortunately, this is how their revenue model works. Social media platforms rely on the churn of discussions and consequently the churn of advertising $$.

While the Lijian comment is a false statement, a quick “shallow” dive into the world of the alt-right and “Q” anon social media writings, will reveal the same baseless rantings on other subjects. And, if one is then going to point out that this disinformation was disseminated by PRC officials and media, I can only point to our own president and his sycophant following in the U.S. Senate.

Nothing about how social media works insists on personal responsibility for socially appropriate behavior.
