Facebook steering the political narrative..is it different than Russian meddling?

[Moonglow]

Facebook influences my political opinion zero percent...I see nothing influential about it nor do I believe the lying politicians that try to sway you...

 

[Moonglow]

The Media which is 95%+ Far Left Progressive Democrat as is Social Media and Tech control the narrative. They will never admit their bias, nor that it has any influence on what people think and how they vote. It is a HUGE influence. If the Media were honest most people would see the Democrats for what they are. Anti American liars.

That's fair to say. But do you favor a government crackdown on the media? Because that's fascist horseshit, far more dangerous than a liberal media.

NO, I do not favor government censoring Media. I prefer that people be educated as to what the Media has largely become, and then develop more balanced alternatives.

There has always been alternatives and there has always been unbalanced and biased media outlets..

 

[impuretrash]

Political censorship is liberty? Did we redefine that word at some point? Like how we did with the words obstruction and racism?

Liberty is not the domain of capitalism.

The point of capitalism is to make the maximum profit. FB thinks that doing this will help them reach that goal.

When liberty and capitalism collide...he who has the fatter wallet wins.

Hooray for capitalism.

There is no need for them to collide.

Under capitalism FB has the liberty to do what it did and you have the liberty to not use FB or start your own version as competition.

When FB started MySpace was the dominant site and it was thought hat FB could not compete...well we all know how that worked out.

The perfect meld of liberty and capitalism

We've all got the talking point memorized by now. No need to keep on repeating it.

Facebook for years has hosted PJW's boring, tame videos. Now all of a sudden he's a danger to society. It's not political, it's purely economic. Banning a popular personality and alienating millions of customers...that is a sure fire way to increase profit. Yeah, right.

It's totally not the opening salvo of a political purge just in time to influence the 2020 election or anything. Nah.

...the most well-known "free speech" alternative to twitter is gab, and minds is the alternative to Facebook. Google their web addresses in the news and 90% of the articles are talking about how they're havens for "hate speech" and need to be taken down for the public interest.

It is sort of funny to hear you whine about liberty, but then turn around and want to take away the liberty for companies to run their business as they see fit

It's funny to hear you put the "liberty" of an enormously influential company over the liberty of individuals.

 

[Seawytch]

Let us hear it Lefties....we know, we know...banning a few extremist and regulating speech isn’t exactly meddling in American politics...right?
Where is this headed?

Speaking of banning folks from social media: Why doesn't Twitter ban that jack ass Trump?

Would be a terrible business decision. Trump is one of their main drivers on tweets, and the number of tweets is what drives their profit.

I'm sure Jones and the like were good click bait too.

It's funny to hear you put the "liberty" of an enormously influential company over the liberty of individuals.

Individuals have the exact same liberty as the enormously influential company. If they do not like what the enormously influential company is doing, they have the liberty to not do business with it and to start their own company...that is the American way

There has never been an alternative to the corporate media like the internet. That's why it's so important to the powers that be that it be censored of "dangerous" ideas.

Facebook serves billions of people worldwide. They have a higher annual profit margin than many country's GDP. They can afford to alienate and marginalize a few million US customers. Even if all 60 million Trump voters left Facebook it wouldn't even make a dent.

Even if all of them went and migrated to an alternative site, it wouldn't have the means to maintain such an influx especially without the backing of big advertisers...who don't want to risk their brand on "far-right" social media platforms.

When FB started MySpace had all those same advantages...who is winning now?

This is America bud, quit whining and beat them at their own game.

You're selling out the American political system to a multinational corporation.

Why do we even bother having elections anymore? Just let the corporations decide.

If fascism means wresting control of this nation away from globalists and putting it back into the hands of decent people who put the well being of their families and their nation above the interests of corporate profit then yes I am all for it.

 

[Deno]

Nobody who deals in facts and evidence will be banned from Facebook.

Your bar for accuracy and honesty is set too low.

You are full of Shit...

Tards CHEAT...………..

How about an example of someone who was unfairly banned ? What did they post ?

Y’all love to play this conservative views victim card . Well maybe if your conservatives views didn’t equal racism /homophobia/ anti semtitism / + fake news posts, you wouldn’t get banned .

RACISM
"I don't like unrestrained mass immigration"

HOMOPHOBIA
"I don't think gay parents should indoctrinate their kids to become transgender"

ANTISEMITISM
"Why does the US spend so much money on supporting Israel when we have problems at home?"

FAKE NEWS
"Trump didn't collude with Russia."

 

[Deno]

One day it will be you.

Nope. I don't post bullshit on FB. I don't support bullshitters, either. So, none of my news and opinion sources
will be banned.

Not right now. But one day you post something that isn’t popular, or runs against the flow of the herd. Then you will get the ban. What Facebook did was wrong. They should put Alex Jones , David Duke, Farrakhan and the rest right out front for the world to see, deject, and ridicule publicly. What they have done now is made all those people martyrs for the first amendment which is sad and disgusting.

Nah. They push misinformation and hate. They've poisoned the discourse. Private companies. Their choice.

When is CNN being banned?

Never. They are a legit news organization. They retract errors and have standards for journalistic integrity.

Only morons think they make shit up or purposefully mislead viewers. In fact, that err on the side of causation so as to not even appear biased by allowing known liars a platform on a daily basis.

Hey Tard.....

Did your fake news media not fake blowing up trucks?

Didn't they get caught doctoring 911 tapes?

And what about Nick Sandman?

I could go on and on but I don't have all day....

Your libtarded media in all its vile forms has lost all credibility.

Only fools and Zealots quote anything as fact from the left wing Fake News Factories.

Thank God for President Donald J. Trump...

People should be allowed to speak their mind in public. Oooh what a dangerous idea that is.

 

[Crixus]

You are 100% for free speech so long as it aligns with your speech...right Joe?

no, actually, I'm not.

I'm all for tough hate speech laws. You incite hate, you go to prison.

Done.

There is no such thing as “hate speech” Joe...thats just twisted shit fabricated by the twisted Left...”SPEECH” can not be dissected and compartmentalized. Read the First bud...you should have learned it by third grade.

Joe couldn’t. His story changes so much. At first third grade was in catholic school, but then it was in some upper class neighborhood in Minnesota or Michigan. Joe lies so much it’s hard to nail him down. Vietnam veteran, Army veteran deployed to Beirut which is odd, as I thought it was the Marines in Beirut. Professional writer, oddly, joe comes off as a guy trying to sound like Hemingway. Meh.

There were probably all 4 branches of military in Beirut I was stationed in a Middle Eastern country in 68 to 70 that all they mentioned was the Marines but all 4 branches were there especially around the Embassy's.

That’s interesting to know. Honestly, I think I was all of five or six years old. But I can say with great confidence that Joe is a liar.

They are allowed to do that. Facebook is not public property.

Nationalizing the media is par for the course with socialists and fascists. If we don't stand up to it, we're going to regret it.
