Facebook banned me for 7 days. Last Friday I was supposed to be allowed back in.
They asked if I thought they were being unfair.
So I replied:
“For us old guys it’s hard for us to know what they consider offensive.
I looked for ways to block Jenner on Facebook, there are none.
I don’t care if they’re gay, just don’t push it in my face constantly.
I used to subscribe to Playboy, I didn’t push it in everybody’s face.
My wife and I did chuckle quietly from a distance when her grandmother picked one up.
They didn’t put Playboys in barber shops or at the dentist.
I found the number of news articles on gay people offensive.
So I commented, “Do you have to be gay to be a reporter”.”

They tacked on another 7 day suspension.

Last week I had four postings on FB labeled spam. I post a lot of political stuff some articles I see here. I post a lot of political cartoons. The first post was “How Girls Get Stoned In Various Countries.” The photos show three western countries in which women are smoking pot or hitting a bong. The fourth square show a pile of rocks and four men’s hands reaching to pick up rocks. The first notice said i did not meet community standards and was being discriminatory. When i inquired i was told it was labeled as spam.

I have posted a lot of politics for over 2 years on FB. Please don’t borate with leave. My family and friends are there and i want to be there. I believe it is a monopoly or trust and shouldn’t ban people for political views. I also suggested they have a FB for political media and another for social media. that’s what FR is political media.

They never responded to me directly, but they re-posted all of the four they had blocked. I also think they react to any complaint without using discretion. i have seen some of that on FR. Complain to some mods and you get slapped or deleted even though your post is misinterpreted or no worse than others which are left up.

FB, google, and Twitter, and others should provide freedom of speech and search capabilities because they are in effect trusts.

Good for you. I don’t use fakebook, but do have an account to check up on the (adult) kids. From my perspective, it’s the most insidious propaganda platform imaginable. All “Social Media” has become totalitarian groupthink.

Being antisocial and anti-authoritarian by nature, I can’t imagine being a kid these days. Violence is inevitable given that (normal) people’s worldviews are being eliminated with extreme prejudice. The depths of hatred regularly espoused by “progressives” and the complete silencing of any opposition would make Goebbles jealous.

You must be a masochist.

I joined facebook around the end of 2009 when it had round 500 million members world wide, and 130 million in the US/Canada

It seemed like a good idea at the time, to exchange news, share photos among family and friends. I lasted 2 months before reality hit me, and I canceled. Life is too short and keeping control of total strangers thinking I cared what they had for breakfast or how many thousands of "friends" they had didn't interest me in the least. Cleaning up the mess wasn't worth the time.

Internet and computer speeds has made the internet the preferred means to communicate with family and friends, to send and receive photos and documents, or just to chat. The kiddies and other zombies can have Facebook.

Has a website been crated yet keeping track of how many cell-phone zombies are run over and killed each day by cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, busses, commute trains, freight trains, tugboats ferries and oil tankers while texting?

Not that I care, just curious.
