I hope the majority can see what the left, Pols Media Hollywood is doing
and are not fooled by it.
This gets so tiresome.

There is a Facebook group called Terminate The Republican Party....pretty vile and hateful content. The far left assholes in this group often post items from The Palmer Report, a fake news, discredited site.

Facebook is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet. It’s the new AOL.

This is easily taken care of.

1. Declare Antifa a terrorist organization.

2. Then seize ALL the assets of Facebook for supporting a terrorist organization.

Easy...................

They are banned from Facebook and Instagram for exercising their free speech..

I don't know what it's gonna take for people to realize that these are privately owned entities. There's no "free speech" there any more that there's "free speech" on FR. They have their moderators for the same reason we have moderators. They're allowed to take any position they want with the full backing of their supporters/members. They're not backed by the Gov't. Good grief.....

We conservatives should have seen this coming before we latched onto Facebook. If there’s an alternative, let’s use it.

Unlike Fakebook, Free Republic is up front about being a conservative site.

“I don’t know what it’s gonna take for people to realize that these are privately owned entities. There’s no “free speech” there any more that there’s “free speech” on FR. “

You are 100% correct. Individual liberty means the owners or managers of a business are free to accept or deny service. However, the left selectively asserts this “freedom”. Social media companies can deny service based on individuals exercising free speech. However, in some states a Christian baker cannot refuse to produce a custom cake for individuals it chooses not to serve for religious reasons.

The words of the first amendment apply only to Congress, not individuals or companies: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

It will take a constitutional amendment to extend free speech to social media companies. Democrats will not support such an amendment.

I remain astounded that people are shocked, shocked I tell you, that FB censors whoever they don't like. I remain even more astounded that lovers of freedom STAY on FB et al.

Remember IBM? Big Blue dominated the world. Nowadays, it is still big but it's not the same AAA company circa 1987. Same with Netscape, Pets.com, Nokia, and scores of other firms. Funny thing, the creative destruction of capitalism...

Not that it matters, but FB banning Michelle Malkin isn't quite the same as banning the relatively nutty Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes.
