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

[JoeB131]

Only those with near-infinite reserves of wealth, those backed by media corporations should be allowed to post videos and commentary on the internet.

I don't have a problem with that. Frankly, the biggest problem with the internet is that it's a cesspool of misinformation... It's making us dumber as a people.

 

[Crixus]

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.

When will you people learn the first amendment applies to the Government, not private entities.

They don't give one flying fuck about liberty. They want power to push the "other side" around. That's ninety percent of politics these days.

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.

This is bad all the way around. If face book can pick and choose what gets said and doesn’t get said then they need to be open to being sued for the shit they let get posted.

BINGO...you nailed it

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.

Uh Deb, you are talking to a guy who thinks College is spelled "Collage".

Uh, dummy, that's why they are acting now... so they don't get sued for the stupid shit Alex Jones posts...

über alles

 

[impuretrash]

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

You're arguing with fascist. Reason doesn't enter into it.

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.

I know. That's why idiots like you are so dangerous.

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

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.

Facebook is open to the public. You don't even have to pay a fee to sign up. Denying someone service because of their beliefs goes against everything lefties supposedly stand for.

 

[JoeB131]

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.

Well, no, again, you can't really comprehend what I'm writing and then you conflate my posts with three other people who inflicted butthurt on you. That's kind of the problem.

Yeah. They're wrong about that. Now you're wrong too. Congrats.

Just like sexual identity is liberty also yet a business can discriminate if it wants..

And that’s the flip side. Everyone I know, had they went to buy a cake would have gotten their cake someplace else if the baker told them no.

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.

Buddy, get real here... The first Amendment is not an absolute...

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.

Buddy, half the stuff you've said up there I've never said. Now I know that you also think I'm five other posters who mock you regularly (the only people still paying any attention to you, I guess.)

Nope, I've always said I'm from Chicago, I was raised Catholic. I was in the army, but never got deployed to a War Zone (thankfully) and, yes, I make money as a professional writer.

Guy, you are a fucking liar, anyone can read through your posts and see it them selves, your an insecure little wart with mommy issues. The proof of that is how frequent you report folks who call you out on your lies. Your from Chicago now, but last week you grew up In Minnesota or some bullshit raised by a hard working union man. You are also a valor thief. That makes you complete and utter trash.

Okay GI Joe.

 

[Moonglow]

Actually the baseness of this argument and others lately are made to bastardize the true intent.

Um, no, most of that stuff, I never dais... so there's that.

Oh, yeah,and reported.

I don’t spend much time on your many lies or flat out theft of other people’s war stories. Scum who lie on message boards for little thank you points are there to poke with sticks. Not to be taken seriously. Give it a month and you will be a commander in space force.

That's why Facebook and Twitter will always be FREE! So, they can choose (it's their sites and they can do whatever they want) who they want on their platform.
It's our choice whether we want to either keep following these people...or not.
I use Facebook...but I don't follow anyone politically. I solely use it to keep in contact with friends and family. But I am rarely on it. I do play some of the games there...

What's next? Are they going to shadow ban my "recess" too? Lol

Naw, what's fun to poke with sticks are guys who come to a message board to "Debate", and can't even master simple spelling or sentence structure. That's too funny, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

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

Your bar for accuracy and honesty is set too low.

Facebook has no business arbitrating the "facts and evidence." Then again, nobody has any business using Facebook to find "facts and evidence." So really, it's just a furtherance of a stupid society getting dumber by the day.

Facebook makes it money by selling ads. They won't be able to sell ads if they are seen as "Stormfront Lite".

It's their platform, they can arbitrate whatever they want. So can USMB, for that matter, which is why so many people have been perma-banned.
