[Floyd61]

Facebook wants to ban America too

NO just outrageous conspiracy theorists, liars and scum that incites violence.

You talking about Maxine Waters?

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.

fascism is restricting speech you dont agree with,, now tell me whos doing that??

You can keep saying that, but I'll just refer you back to post 39.

When trump signed up on Facebook and twitter he signed a contract with those companies. He clicked in agreement with their TOS rules. Which also included the fact that the company can ban him for violating those TOS rules.

When trump clicked that agreement, he signed the contract and agreed that Facebook and twitter can kick him off the site for violating those TOS rules.

He violated that contract.

Can you understand that?

He agreed with Facebook that yes, they can kick him off if he violates that contract. So that's exactly what Facebook did.

When you make bad choices, the only result is bad consequences.

It's called personal responsibility for your actions and words.

Stop crying and bitching about it. No one gives a rat's ass what you or trump wants.

Deal with it.

You are obviously too stupid to pick up on my point.

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.

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.

James took that post down and apologized for it. That's all T**** had to do. But he wasn't about to shut his fat yap about having the election stolen. He'd been warned over and over. It was his choice.

Trump complained about an election and others speak of genocide while they are torturing and murdering innocents.
Trump gets banned, the terrorist doesnt.
Your "advisory board" you think is such a good idea, is a damn joke.
According to the social media masters, whining about an election is worse than genocide

 

[GalileoSmith]

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

The problem is a dilemma with opposing principles. One is the freedom of a business to operate in the manner they choose, the other principle is to give all citizens the equal opportunity to state views. The dilemma actually existed to some slight degree centuries ago with the advent of newspapers. Then came radio and TV. Now the internet. And just for the record, using terms such as "jack-booted censorship" tends to let people know that the person is thinking emotionally, not rationally.

Old Lady, you're cool. I have no problem with you whatsoever. You like this Facebook decision because you hate Trump. That's fine, you don't have to like him.

But to say that Facebook is fair or evenhanded in who they choose to censor and ban is a little ridiculous. They are a fucking joke, and censorship is deeply unAmerican.

no he didnt,, it takse a special kind of stupid to think thats what happened,,

Completely disagree. But if you know of any statements Trump made telling folks to overthrow their Government or be violent I am willing to change my mind.
