Care to guess what side they blocked?


quote:

Facebook recently opened an election “War Room” designed to help the company curb the spread of misinformation online ahead of the midterm elections. “Finding and removing abuse is a constant challenge. Our adversaries are smart and well funded, and as we improve their tactics change,” the company said in a statement from October. “We prohibit coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook because we want people who use our services to be able to trust the connections they make.”



hmm.. so I can't chose my connections on my own because I'm not smart enough to make those decisions...

Are you going to tell us, because the article didn't tell us which side they blocked.

Why don’t you start a conservative Facebook if you don’t like it?

Needs to be more than 115. Facebook is a bot farm.

Speaking of BOTS... MIT states they help Hillary more than Trump.

US law enforcement officials reported the sites to FB.

quote:

ABC News reports that ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Facebook has blocked a number of accounts across both Facebook and Instagram. In a blog post the company stated: “On Sunday evening, U.S. law enforcement contacted us about online activity that they recently discovered and which they believe may be linked to foreign entities,” said Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher. “We immediately blocked these accounts and are now investigating them in more detail.”


If they were all conservative pages, surely Breitbart would have told us, no?

I'm reading what is in your article you linked. If you'd like to link to an article that actually backs up the claims made in your OP, please feel free to do so.

At least you seem to get that.

The problem is they pretend to be neutral but smother any other voice through their overpowering censoring capabilities, which strips the ill-informed from deciding for themselves.

We have been talking about this issue for a few months. From whom they hired to "look into" and decide, to actual cases and it's bad enough that Congress has held Q & As with these companies.

We have posted on conservatives voices being banned until 12AM Wed of this week.
