Facebook Upholds Trump Ban

[JGalt]

I thought Individual One was going to start his own social media platform.

Trump doesn't really need a social media platform. When he speaks, the media breathlessly hangs onto every word.

Having a review board that holds their feet to the fire is a good thing.

Leftists don't believe in equal application of laws or rules. Leftists support using law enforcement to entrap and destroy those that differ with leftist ideology.

The independent Advisory Board has determined that Facebook's decision to ban Donald Trump permanently was legit. However, it asked for more transparency and clearer rules, and said FB should not "indefinitely" suspend members without an established length of time.

Now they've got their specifics. The ban is forever.

The Advisory Board is definitely not a rubber stamp, either. It suggested some changes many of us felt were in order for a long time:

The initial round of decisions — which touched on alleged hate speech, coronavirus misinformation and references to dangerous organizations — signaled that the board would demand greater clarity from Facebook about its policies, as well as transparency. Before Wednesday’s decision, the board had overturned Facebook’s decisions six times, upheld them twice, and was unable to complete a ruling once.

you may want to reread the article,,

You're right.

facebook "rules" LOL
Could have picked a better word. Rules are to be followed. They are fffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from consistent.

It's the same problem on all social media platforms. A lot of the rules are general, for the most part, and open to individual interpretation. Having a review board that holds their feet to the fire is a good thing.

Its a joke OL. Social media goes crazy over trump but are OK with terrorists, extremists etc having accounts.
The man that has killed more people in terror attacks in the last 10 years posts with immunity. Even speaks of genocide. No one bats a eye.

It is amazing to me that our country is now filled with millions of fascists who support this jack-booted censorship.

He was fueling the insurrectionists with his perpetual lies about the illegitimacy of the election. It was past time to shut his trap.

I don't mind if they want to ban him for life. I'm of the opinion that it's their platform they can do whatever they like.

Exact same way I don't think bakers should be forced to bake cakes for gay weddings, or churches forced to do gay weddings or whatever.

But my problem, as always, is Facebook won't face the same scrutiny and accountability over it. The double standard rather than the actions themselves annoy me.

facebook is fascist and hates a president that serves the people instead of the corporations same as dana,yourself and others so this is no surprise in the least.

Social media platforms are no longer avenues for dissent. They've become "good old boys and girls" circle jerks where exclusive members pat each other on the back and tell each other how wonderful and "woke" they are.

I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts last years and as far as I'm concerned, they can both choke on the same garbage sack full of rotten dicks.

 

[Crepitus]

Facebook wants to ban America too

What a remarkably ignorant comment. Did you think that up all on your own? Because it sounds Glenn beckish.

 

[OldLady]

They announced it this morning. trump can't go back to Facebook.

They have the right to decide who can be on their site. trump violated the rules over and over again. He made very bad choices so he should take personal responsibility, bad consequences comes with bad choices. He should have been taught that as a child.

Dana, no they didn't...yet.

Yes, you despise the liberal principle of free speech. We already knew that.

That you are too stupid to understand that people are not responsible for the actions of others is also a given.

If you whined about Trump and another person read your statement and then killed Trump, it wouldnt be your fault, dumb ass.

The board announced Wednesday morning that Facebook needed to decide within six months how long Trump’s suspension would last, or if it would be permanent.

This is just Fakebook trying to remain relevant. Trump's Fakebook account wasn't the primary issue.
His Twitter account was.

Good, this will hurt Facebook. Im surprised they were dumb enough to do it, but you lefties are as dumb as they get.

Facebook and Twitter are both UP; the ban has been in place 4 months and doesn't seem to have hurt them yet. The world does not revolve around T****.

I hear that all the time.

"you didnt follow the rules"

"which one?"

"The one I just made up and applied to you"

I guess you haven't been paying attention if you think Facebook and Twitter haven't paid a heavy price for their Nazi tactics. Folks like yourself may go along with fascism by Big Tech....but most freedom loving Americans can see very clearly that they are in collusion with the Deep State in trying to shape our elections and need to be punished for it.

Yeah? Well it has now been proven that Bill Barr lied under oath to a federal judge, and to Congress, and Trump obstructed justice.

Not with you on this. No one is free to advertise overthrowing their government during a time when people are actually shutting down Congress in its own halls. T**** was fueling the rage. He had a nation of followers threatening to come back and finish the job right. You want to hide behind some silly excuse of free speech at a time like that?

With rights come responsibilities. You're forgetting your responsibility to your democratic country. It could have been lost.

Are you under the impression that the GOP wont light them on fire the very next time they own congress? You are a fool if you think Social media doesnt have a reckoning coming at some point in the near future.
