Congress won't step in, ever. They won't because Facebook is censoring with their "fact checkers" those democrats don't like.

They are a useful tool and weapon to the government.

“If you believe users have a right to discuss their personal experiences on Facebook, I think you should also agree they have a right to volunteer personal data that speaks to that experience.” ibid

Anyone who believes such a thing is ignorant – Facebook is private media, having nothing to do with 'rights.'

The only ‘right’ subscribers have is to unsubscribe if they don’t like how Facebook conducts business.

If the article’s author is using the word ‘right’ in a non-government, non-law, non-Constitutional context, that doesn’t change the fact that the only appropriate recourse is to close one’s FB account.

And none of this is within the scope of Congress’ authority.

This is a lie.

That’s right. If FB bans it, it must be true.
