FACEBOOK is installing its own unelected "Ministry of Truth" to control what people say. I think they selected George Orwell's 1984 as their ideal.

They thought Hillary would win and their Ministry of Truth would be supported at the highest levels, and for this reason, they are probably running about 3 years behind their schedule. :(

I accidentally dropped this from the top of the post.

KEY POINTS
  • Facebook released new governing documents for an independent oversight board that can overturn decisions by the company itself.
  • CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously likened such a board to a type of “Supreme Court” for the platform.
  • Facebook proposed the board as a way to check its decision-making as lawmakers and regulators keep a close watch on the company.

I guess this is important...for grandparents and aunts sharing vacation photos and recipes. Does anyone use Facebook anymore?

All members of the DNC, because of their elevated status, are automatically on the review board.

personal examples of how professional FB is

I was suspended for 24 hours for “posting too fast.” Sometimes I go down my timeline and share what I like. Since then i have received 3 warnings for posting too fast.

Each time I asked a simple question. What is the rule for how fast or how many I can post in what time frame. They have never answered that question. So when I get pulled over or ticketed they can’t tell me the speed limit.

I had a post deleted regarding Omar and saw 10 others just like it in a 2 hour period.

I posted on May 1 and it was deleted by FB with a warning. I asked for a review and they apologized and reposted it. On May 2, I posted a similar post and it was left up. Went into the hospital and came out July 24. I tried to share something and was informed I was suspended for 309 days for the May 2 post. I asked for review but nada. Sent an e-mail through (report problem) no response. Suspended for 30 days for something they allowed two months before.

I hate what they re doing to conservative speech, but my family is there. The point I am making is in addition to stifling speech they are basically incompetent.

When the say “diverse” they mean a panel that agrees on silencing conservatives.

After a selection process that will include gathering candidates from a diverse set of backgrounds and vetting them for potential conflicts of interest, Facebook said it will extend offers to a “limited number” of candidates to become co-chairs, formally appointed by the trustees. Once the co-chairs are in place, they will help select the rest of the board members. Later, the board will lead the membership selection process itself, Facebook said.

With a rigged process like that we will need just one (1) democrat-controlled administration and we will have a mandatory chinese style social credit score system in place that will be giving orders to LEO on whom to arrest for violations this "board" deemed to have been committed.

The board will eventually consist of 40 members with three-year terms drawn from a diverse array of backgrounds, according to Facebook.

Oh oh...diverse means ANY viewpoint but conservative.

How can anyone possibly take the action of a private company as a political issue?

Axiomatically, ALL political issues are government issues.

Facebook is nobody.
