Well, after the three million fake Republican accounts were closed, that sure left a lot of fake Democrat accounts.

I’ve never joined Facebook and I don’t do Twitter either, but for the life of me, how does a company let this happen in the first place?

When a liberal creates a fake facebook page to spread hate on a public forum - and I can spot a fake pretty easily - I ALWAYS report it. The actual action rate from facebook is what’s 3-4%.

Anyone who thinks that it would be easy to prop up a competitor to Facebook needs to read this.
It takes a lot of money to screen out the huge amount of trash that people try to dump on websites like YouTube, Facebook, etc.
Yes Facebook is no doubt "accidentally" deleting valid conservative accounts as well.
But if someone wants to create a competitive site that won't delete valid conservative accounts ... and can also successfully delete the millions of bad actor accounts and posts then good luck!

My alias didn’t. Of course, it hasn’t been deleted.

If it’s a liberal being reported the “action rate” is 0.0%
I’ve seen liberals on there calling for the murder of conservatives, the posts get reported, and FB comes back with the standard: “were sorry blah, blah, blah...some people blah, blah, blah...the post doesn’t violate our TOS blah, blah, blah....”

Facebook axed 583 million fake accounts in the first three months of 2018Facebook's more than two billion users from January through March
583 million out of 2 billion = 29.15%
Okay then, how many of those were created by Facebook themselves to puff up user numbers so they could charge fees accordingly...
