It may come as a surprise to no one, but it seems that now, if you try to link to a Breitbart article on FB, they *will not* present the usual “preview with picture” that FB usually does.
Technically, they’re not censoring BB, but it does make it less likely that people will click on a post.

My guess would be that it’s costing Zuckerberg money as ever more people get fed up with the Facebook attitude.

The urge to promulgate my meager and perhaps recalcitrant life on Social Media, offering up all my inane musings and begs to be noticed and acknowledged has never been a priority.
To me, validation comes from within. Not that of hangers on.

I’ve said this before. Google’s browser, which I use, puts up icons of sites I’ve recently gone to. It never puts DRUDGEREPORT in there (but it does FR).

I think it's more than supressing content. Something I've noticed lately about facebook. Usually when posting an article link, facebook trolls for images embedded in the article and will choose one of these images to highlight the article. The user is provided an interface to select an alternative image or remove it all together. Also, the headline of the article, which is usually included is suppressed - only the naked link is inlcuded.
When posting articles of a anti Clinton nature, I've noticed there are no images included or title. This greatly reduces the attraction to the post.

All the net- billionaires have become drooling synchophants to far-Left insanity. I think they have all been threatened. Because they really "didn't build that", and what they have can be taken away by government with shocking ease.

The people who most control what the public sees on the media is the NEWS EDITOR. The anchors only read what they are TOLD to read. The nameless & faceless NEWS EDITOR is the real PUPPETEER.....

So what was reported to be trending really wasnt trending at all. It was politically shaped to give the impression of trending in order to influence and manipulate peoples opinions. In other words, it was propaganda.
****************
Combine that with the way they suppress conservative news before it can begin to “trend” by allowing progressives to label anything conservative as racist or “threatening” to get it pulled... and you’ve got 90%+ of conservative news shut down on that platform.

I try to tell my older friends who use Facebook what they’re connecting into, what they’re enabling. Just get that “Ummm...” stare. Meaning: “Gimme my bread and circuses and STFU about your political whatever!”

I get the same thing sometimes.
I just try to wake up as many as I can.
Some have drank so much of the Ministry of Propaganda Kool-Aid that they are beyond hope until all of the electronics stop working.
