It would make for quality entertainment

And it would put facebook under an insane amount of scrutiny and that can only be a good thing IMO

This and PragerU on YouTube.

PragerU has some videos that were placed under the "restricted content" umbrella based on viewer feedback that the video content/topic was inappropriate for younger children.

Thing is, the only people this affects are people that opted in to have their content filtered.

So I guess that counts as censorship if you consider the movie and video game rating system censorship as well.

Now the media is trying to paint this as a story of Trump campaign using illegal hacked data to manipulate voters.



Muh Facebook


Facebook will do everything they can to keep this from being investigated. They do not want the public aware of what they are collecting and who they are selling that info to. It would blow most people's minds.

People like OP don't care about the overarching issues because all they are worried about is feeding their Trump Derangement Syndrome.

From what I read over the weekend, Facebook is in major CYA mode as they knew about the mishandling of the data a LONG time ago, and also knew the data wasn't deleted then, and did little then. They're only acting now because this Chris Wylie guy is speaking out. They've also suspended Wylie's FB page.

This seems like a MUCH bigger story than the McCabe firing. This lady gets to the heart of it.

No Mr. "No such thing as Electrical Steel" it's not.

JJDOC is complaining about them banning candidates like this one:

Bans GOP senate candidate


Changes in their algorithm has crushed conservative voices and has reduced their visibility. That's issue number 1!


Second, what they are doing will put them before congress and in front of parliament in the UK.

FB did the same thing! Illegally. You will see the CEO in front of congress!

You mean candidates that repeatedly violate the terms of service by raffling off guns on their facebook page?

quote:

This is the second time my personal account has been banned from Facebook due to my campaign raffling off a perfectly legal firearm,”


quote:

I demand an explanation from Facebook’s leadership


quote:

As we explain in our Community Standard on our web site, we prohibit any attempts by private individuals to purchase, sell, gift or trade firearms,” he wrote. ”Firearm shops and online retailers can discuss sales of firearms and firearm parts as long as they comply with all applicable laws and regulations and follow our advertising policies should they look to advertise on Facebook.

“Further, in any case where we remove content, we send the person or page admin(istrator) a note explaining that something was removed due to a violation of our Community Standards. Only after multiple such removals and notices would an account receive a temporary block.”




You also failed to note that it was his personal facebook page that was suspended(The one that was raffling off a gun), not his campaign page (The one that was not raffling off a gun).

It's an overreaction to the Russian hysteria. The left is bat shite crazy

The Atlantic- How The Left Lost Its Mind

quote:

The most prolific of the conspiracy-mongers tend to focus on the Russia scandal, weaving a narrative so sensationalistic and complex that it could pass for a Netflix political drama. Theirs is a world where it is acceptable to allege that hundreds of American politicians, journalists, and government officials are actually secret Russian agents; that Andrew Breitbart was murdered by Vladimir Putin; that the Kremlin has “kompromat” on everyone, and oh-by-the-way a presidency-ending sex tape is going to drop any day now.

I didn't fail to do anything. He was banned for a perfectly LEGAL thing.

He's not the only one either. They didn't ban your boy Ellison. They also allow Farrakhan speeches where he calls Jews Satan and calls for the death of whites.

Take your BS elsewhere.

He violated the terms of service. Twice.

Just because it's legal to raffle off a gun, doen't mean you get to do it on facebook.

I don't know who this is. Did he hold a gun raffle? Twice?

I wouldn't know. I've never had a facebook account. Do you have a link?
