Bad News for Conservatives: Facebook Fully Embraces the Left

Facebook released an update of its so-called “civil rights” audit June 30. The results did not bode well for conservatives, as the company committed to work with left-wing groups in every facet of its business.

The audit announced a “Civil Rights Task Force,” led by COO Sheryl Sandberg, which will rely on third-party “civil rights expertise” to make decisions. The task force will address all key departments of the business from content and partnerships to human resources. It will exist to “ensure civil rights concerns raised by outside groups are escalated promptly to decision-makers so that they can be considered and acted on quickly.”

Several of the initiatives announced called for even more censorship than Facebook already has. The audit wanted hate speech to be censored even more, as well as “hateful ideologies.” Humor will be removed as a protected category. Racial appeals will be removed. The policies only go after the issues that liberals care about, while not addressing conservatives’ concerns about freedom of speech.

They did WHAT? This should be breaking (braking) news or something. Hey, their platform, their rules. I don't partake but feel bad for those that kinda sorta like their presence out there. LOOK AT ME! :-)

Not news if you love our president and what he has done and will do with MAGA and KAG! (decode these weapons by looking at my tagline).

Who in their “right” mind needs Facebook?

Ditto here. I’ve never done any of them. Never felt the need to put my stuff out there. My family and friends number less than 10, so if I want to communicate with them, I’ll call or write.

Just declare them a “publisher” and chew then to pieces with libel suits. Make them accountable for every lie they publish.

I quit FB cold turkey about 6 years ago. I’m am not happier than ever that I did. As far as I am concerned, they are a criminal enterprise.
