This is possibly a bit flouncey and I'm sure I'll come to regret posting but what actually is Mumsnet? What is its ethos or its purpose? Why are the powers that be so keen to shut down certain conversations while letting others which may be as equally toxic or inaccurate stand?
I find their rules so strange. Why do they allow people to spread potentially dangerous misinformation and pseudo science on coronavirus threads but people can't discuss certain celebrities or figures in the public eye? Why are politicians okay for bashing but not other high profile figures?
