Hardly. Which party is the party of QAnon, science denial, and misinformation so bad that they get banned from social media? You think the whole world is leftist and out to get you? You might be paranoid and delusional.
QAnon -- to my knowledge, neither party claims them or supports them. They are a fringe group. As for who they support, I am also guessing neither party at the moment but I wouldn't know because their politics
are of no interest to me. They seem to be of more interest to you at
the moment?
Science denial -- which party is it that supports the idea of their being multiple (more than 3) genders, or that supports other ideas that are
only supported by "social science," and not by actual sciences like biology or physiology? Science denial is very much a double-edged
sword, and using it in a political discussion is ill-advised.
Misinformation -- you seem to be claiming that social media companies are good at determining what is misinformation and what is not? As I believe most everything on social media is 100% misinformation, I believe using social media companies as a barometer of good vs. misinformation is,
well, misinformed. See also science denial, above, and your apparent belief that all Republicans support QAnon as additional examples of misinformation.
I don't think that the whole world is out to get me, so there is another example of misinformation.
So which party is it you belong to so I know how to better answer your question? I don't want to jump to a misinformed conclusion without
asking first.

That's the thing; it's not which party claims them, it's which party
they claim. QAnon is very right-wing and believe that Trump is actually still president. White supremacists, neo-Nazis, and neo-Confederates
are also right-wing. They're not waiting for your approval or your invitation; they're your bedfellows.
Social media has engaged fact-checkers to identify misinformation. Contrary to the conception that fact-checkers are liberals who brand everything conservative false willy-nilly, an important aspect of their work is that they explain *why* it's misinformation.

Ouch. So because I am pro-life I'm supporting 'them' even though I didn't choose to?!?!

Yeah, I've seen some of the 'facts' they base things on. It's still not all 'fact,' in my opinion. No, I don't have an example to quote, but
the ones I've seen have been political in nature around the election.
If it wasn't 'liberal based,' it sure seemed that way! LOL
