facebook deleting conservative posts and banning conservative posters

[boedicca]

This isn't news to anyone.

Brace yourself for the chorus of "they're a private business" from the moonbat asswipes who had no problems forcing a private baker to bake a cake for a poofter wedding.

I guess the moonbat baker won out and now Facebook doesn't have to serve everyone?

Or did the conservative supreme court win out and decide that until big government declares Facebook a monopoly they don't have to allow me to post just like you don't have to allow me to post on your website or stand in your front yard with a bullhorn?

Facebook, Twitter and the other Big Surveillance Media are exempt for media-type regulations because they claim they are platforms and conduits. If they now censor perfectly legal content, they turn themselves into media publishers and are now liable as media. If they want to discriminate, fine. Then they should not be exempted from the regulations that govern media companies.

I'm all for regulating them folks with the full power of monopoly smashing big government. Sounds like we're on the same ship. Whoever let Facebook buy Instagram made a mistake.

Given how they are a communication medium, they should be treated like a common carrier and now allowed to discriminate against perfectly lawful communication.

I don't entirely disagree. Do you think a small place like this website or one you may own has to let me post?

No. This website is not at the common carrier level. Facebook, GOOG and Twitter and the rest of the internet infrastructure control communication. The big player are platforms. This website is more like a wee applications for which there are many substitutes. As the Surveillance Media has proven with its silencing attempt on GAB, there are not easily obtainable substitutes if one is deplatformed.

It's like the U.S Post office refusing to deliver one's mail and AT&T refusing one phone service due to ideological differences.

"As a student of history, I recognize this type. He emerges everywhere and in all eras. We see nurtured in his campaign an incipient Proto-fascism, a nativist anti-immigrant Know Nothing-ism, a disrespect for the judiciary, the prospect of women losing authority over their own bodies, African Americans again asked to go to the back of the line, voter suppression gleefully promoted, jingoistic saber rattling, a total lack of historical awareness, a political paranoia that, predictably, points fingers, always making the other wrong. These are all virulent strains that have at times infected us in the past. But they now loom in front of us again—all happening at once. We know from our history books that these are the diseases of ancient and now fallen empires. The sense of commonwealth, of shared sacrifice, of trust, so much a part of American life, is eroding fast, spurred along and amplified by an amoral Internet that permits a lie to circle the globe three times before the truth can get started."

I would post a link to my facebook account--but it would not do any good and would not provide you with any information. I still have a facebook account--that is not the problem --the problem is facebook has banned me from posting any comments for 30 days for writing that " illegals are criminals and all of them should be deported". They said this was "hate speech".Of course--all the thousands of far left radical Democrats who post that Trump is like "Hitler" is not "hate speech"--and they are not banned.

Fakebook's fascistic speech policies aren't about Cheeto, fuckface.

I've gotten banned here for much less. Multiple times. People are free to act like communists.

 

[Zorro!]

1) I was banned from Facebook for a week for this post to a liberal person's post about allowing illegals to come here:

"Spoken like the true liberal that you are. Illegals are criminals and should be deported--all of them --no matter how long they have been here --and no matter their age."

After serving the one week ban I wrote this on facebook:

2) "I have been banned for a week from facebook for posting that illegals are criminals and should be deported.They said it was hate speech. Of course --when a person comes into this country illegally --they have committed a crime--so they are indeed criminals--and under U.S. law all illegals should be deported.Would you please send me your e-mail address --by private message--- so we can remain in touch --just in case they decide to ban me again--or ban me completely.Would all of my friends --please send me your e-mail address --so we can stay in touch --just in case the people at facebook decide to ban me again or ban me completely--- for writing cold hard facts."

So now --facebook has banned me for 30 days for the above post and said if it happens again I will be permanently banned.

I wrote this to facebook:

3) "You are censoring conservative thought and this is happening to many thousands of others.You are trying to influence the election by doing so .What I wrote was in no way "hate speech". It was not profane.It is 100% factual.When a person comes to this nation illegally they have indeed committed a crime and so they are a criminal and under U.S. laws they are to be deported.It is you that is committing hate by censoring me and my post.I suspect that some of the people that you have hired to police facebook and censor their posts are themselves here illegally and one of these people was most likely the one who has censored me.It is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Your actions against conservatives will fail. We will win over the hate you display for our country."


*** In the last year facebook officials --including Mark Zuckerberg --appeared before a Congressional hearing to speak about censoring conservatives and they lied and said they do not censor conservatives and that they would put certain rules in place to make sure they are not censoring conservatives--but they are doing it now--much ,much more than before.They think by banning us conservatives they can win the election for the Democrats.We must fight back against this censorship.***
