FB is a private entity. They can censor whom they will. Just like FR can censor as well. I wouldn’t suggest .gov telling FR how to operate their business.

Private entities are not exempt from disctimationn laws if they are considered a public accommodation. I’m confident that Facebook would fall under those restrictions. While that does not protect from discrimination on the basis of political views, it does on the basis of religion. If bias toward Christian groups could be shown, Facebook could be guilty of illegal activity.

Furthermore Facebook might by sued for breach of contract and deceptive business practices if they are making the claim that they maintaining open and unbiased exchange of views while actually discriminating. If not by users then by advertisers who are being denied access to demographics they are paying to reach..

“FB is a private entity. They can censor whom they will. Just like FR can censor as well. I wouldn’t suggest .gov telling FR how to operate their business.”

Facebook is not privately owned. It is publicly traded. FR is privately owned. Big difference.

Democrats feel entitled to use public funds (i.e. tax revenues) to fund their religious ideology and attack their political and ideological enemies. And they take a similar approach with every major institution: legislature (and free elections in general), judiciary, executive, law enforcement, military, intelligence, state department (foreign relations), education, media, religion, and corporate boardroom.

Half-a-billion per year to the largest murder-for-hire enterprise on the planet is just one example.

The founders believed in government-sanctioned LIMITED monopolies to “promote the progress of science and useful arts.” That’s what a patent is, essentially.

Facebook promotes itself as an open platform and uses APIs to integrate with many web services. For example, many websites allow you to log in using your Facebook account. With the encouragement of Facebook, businesses use Facebook data to screen job applicants. These things make Facebook akin to a communication service such as the telephone. Or even more so like a credit bureau.

Credit Bureaus are regulated. Banks are regulated. Publicly traded companies are regulated. Some of the non-discrimination laws are Constitutional based on equal protection. Companies must not falsely advertise to be open to everyone and then discriminate based on the ideology of its executives.

Keep in mind, there is not even a say given to shareholders which means shareholders are being defrauded by the CEO and board of executives. These executives are also failing to meet their fiduciary obligations by promoting their personal ideological and political agendas.

Facebook also forces users into perpetual contracts so that your information may be accessible even if you decide you want to close your account.

Facebook also enters into contracts with minors without parental consent or government oversight. Children who use Facebook are not safe from bullying (which has resulted in multiple child suicides), stalking by predators, harassment, invasion of privacy.

Facebook intentionally obscures its policies which is a type of bad faith in contract law. It uses deceptive practices. It fails to take reasonable precautions in protecting user data.

Facebook has given massive amounts of in-kind contributions to Democrats without proper disclosure.

Facebook sells advertising which targets the general public.

Facebook engages in interstate commerce and international trade.

Facebook should be heavily regulated.

Liberals have seized control of every major institution of power and robbed patriots of their rights, liberties, and the very nation itself. They have committed crimes against humanity by murdering babies and selling their body parts. They have forced an agenda of perversion in which perversion is promoted in compulsory education, and foster parent and child adoptive laws turn over vulnerable children to perverts.

Our whole nation is under attack with very powerful and destructive mind-control techniques and other means of coercive control. Wake up.

There is a cry to Heaven for JUSTICE. Don’t defend them. Fight them. Or at least stay out the way.
