Facebook Bans Populist Consverative Groups Just Before European Elections

[JimBowie1958]

Should this sort of thing be illegal in America?

What if CBS, NBC, ABC, all the major news papers, FB and Twitter all decided to ban the GOP from advertisements? Would that be legal too?

Facebook Shuts Down Populist Italian Pages Before EU Elections

Facebook has shut down 23 major populist Italian pages with 2.5 million followers just two weeks before the European elections.
According to Italian media, the majority of the pages supported the populist parties La Lega (The League) and the 5-Star Movement (M5S) — who currently govern Italy in a temporary coalition.

Facebook has justified its dramatic move by claiming that the sites shared fake news, so-called “hate speech”, and “divisive content” regarding immigrants, vaccines, and Jewish people.​

Of course liberal Facebook is cutting the right off. They don’t want people to see what liars the liberals are.

Why do you allow political parties to place ads on TV ? Surely the ones with most money would have an advantage ?

Yes, I agree. Yet the sentiment is right on the money, which is why you're so triggered.

You folks are what you are.

Nobody is entitled to be on any Social Media platform.

If they've violated the rules, they've violated the rules, and must face the consequences.

The questions should be asked what the heck are these institutions/organizations doing to break the rules, that they have to get banned.

Can't be too good, no?

No, let's not do that. Way more fun to play the persecution game. Mac loves that shit.
