Facebook Upholds Trump Ban

[Tommy Tainant]

The problem that a lot of these organisations have is that their rules were generally written prior to the age of Trump. They did not anticipate that such a liar could gain any traction at all.
Its not the only gap. Flat earth, anti vax conspiracy theorists have always been laughed at and largely ignored.
But the average facebook user is thick and easily convinced. Hence a kook or liar like trump can do well.
Its a bigger problem than donny or brexit. Education is probably the only long term solution

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.

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

Court Finds Barr Lied About Mueller Report

On March 22, 2019 Mueller submitted his report to then Attorney General Barr. Rather than immediately release the report Barr sat on it for weeks. However, on the very day Mueller gave him the massive 400 page report Barr released a letter notoriously...

Vast majority of Americans say congressional Republicans, not Biden, are dooming bipartisanship

While Washington reporters are busy asking whether President Joe Biden is living up to his promises to reach across the aisle, far more Americans think it's congressional Republicans who are failing the bipartisanship test. In a new ABC News/Ipsos...

Conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board slams House Republicans for efforts to 'purge Liz Cheney'

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has asked Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming to tone down her criticisms of former President Donald Trump; instead, the arch-conservative GOP congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is sticking to her guns, continuing to blame Trump for the...

And it's just Wednesday.

Governor Cuomo's incompetence needlessly killed thousands and then he lied and engaged in cover up and, you watch, nothing will happen and he'll skate, which is perfect fine with you. You don't care about anything except the Democratic Party.

Burn loot murder threatened riots if Trump wasn't banned,

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.

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.

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.

you should base your opinions on that which is truthful instead of making up lies in order to support your fascist views.

Trump launches new communications platform months after Twitter, Facebook ban

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump on Tuesday launched a communications platform, which will eventually give him the ability to communicate directly with his followers, after months of being banned from sites like Twitter and Facebook.

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

Unfortunately, true.

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.

Trump Ban From Facebook Upheld by Oversight Board

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

I bet it won't knock them down a flea's fart.

Thats because you arent much of a thinker.

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.

And you want to let people keep flapping their gums over bullshit lies until the same thing happens here? Fascism isn't okay in my book. TN.

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.

The Facebook was terrified of losing their Karens who threatened to leave if Trump was allowed back on

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

He didn't appeal that, though. He appealed the FB decision. Maybe bones has a point. It's a lot easier to fund raise on FB, am I right?

 

[blackhawk]

Hardly a surprise they made some recommendations Facebook says they will look into them they won’t and the status quo rolls merrily along.

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****.

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.

It should. But it shouldn't come from either political party. You see what happens when political minds try to control it?

I was happy when I first heard this. Now I’m not so sure. This puts him back in the news, which is what he wants.
Might have been better just to let him spew his hate, sow his discord and break FB’s rules ...
THEN hit him with the perma-ban so we can be done with the issue for good.

Politicals minds DO control it, hard core left wing minds in fact, for now.

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.

Facebook and Twitter Pay a Hefty Price for Booting Donald Trump, Cracking Down on Conservatives

I guess Facebook perma-banned Lebron James for inciting violence against cops.

Oops, they didn't? Nobody trusts or believes these hypocritical clowns. It's all complete bullshit.

Facebook wants to ban America too

Trump =//= America

This is where Trump cultists keep getting confused.
