Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling a bit queasy about Facebook titan Mark Zuckerberg having a say in what does, and what doesn't, 'qualify' as Free Speech ???
All the Leftists and Zuckerberg's of the world seem to state that only *their* brand of 'free speech' is legitimate, and all other expressions of 'free speech' are either racist, sexist, homophobic, environmentally toxic, and blah blah blah blah blah ...
Putting on my tin-foil-hat now: It seems that all this cultural upheaval has been carefully choreographed for the sole purpose of disrupting American society for the benefit of a very few, super-rich, wanna-be Tyrants.
I'm no Football fan by any means, actually I think it's a stoopit game played by morons, coached by ignoramus' who haven't a clue, broadcast by hyperventilating retards, and viewed by otherwise intelligent people who check their IQ at the stadium entrance so that they can go primal gaa-gaa for 3 hours.
But I can't seem to understand why any rational American would put up with the obviously seditious behavior of NFL players, coaches, and owners without tossing their cookies ... is Football all that important ??? Really, is it ??? It's just a game, and not at all as 'brilliant' as the NFL hypes it to be.
Eeenywees, back to Facebook. How in heck did this kid, Zuckerberg, become such a prominent figure in arbitrating 'what is and what is not' *real news* ?? When did this happen? Last I checked he was just a smart kid who started an Internet chat forum ... how in heck did he become so powerful?
/OK OK ... incoherent rant is now off ... /grin ...

I'm a HUGE football fan, and I agree with you one hunnet percentile.
Preach more, brother.
And Zuckerberg is only powerful because we allow him to be.
Get off the Facebook drug people.
It’s killing you!
Wildebeests burp, fart, snort and butt heads for hours on end in games of dominance.

Somehow lately the wildebeests come out as being smarter despite being paid less.
At this point, Berlin_Freeper, it isn't even *being* on FaceBook as much as it is having to read about Zuckerberg and FB every day in the NEWS ... where he's onboard with Deep State about controlling advertising and controlling 'free-speech' by users of his network.
The 'FB drug' is becoming a political player, unelected and making policy ... THAT is what is so dangerous to our society !

I disabled my FB because I was hacked three times. I suspect the hacking was done by FB itself because of my conservative political comments. FB not a safe place to be. The reason it is so popular, in my view, is that it allows people, if they wish, to rewrite their history by packaging themselves as something they are not. I have seen that just through individuals I know personally. FB is not the place to be. However, increasingly, places of business, churches, etc., are putting information on there that you might need, so you miss that if you decide to bail. I made the decision to bail.
Delete your Facebook account and never look back. You will never regret it. Do the same with the other authoritarian companies like Disqus, Yahoo, etc.

It isn't about *being* on FaceBook, it's about how FB is beginning to control the news narrative within the MSM and within government

Yes. I think you’ve described the scenario perfectly. It’s been the same state of affairs throughout History, and in the end, they all fall. Where is Marcus Crassus and his building burning grifter fortune now?
Without membership they have no power. Don’t contribute to their power by being a member, it is the least you could do.
