Facebook can't seem to make up its mind. Seems to be foundering trying to find a solution.

Four members of our family deleted their Facebook accounts last week. And they lived!

Facebook is nothing more than another numbers racket..the more who join the more it gets $$$$$ from advertisers. ....You're just a number to collect on..

well, nobody forces anyone to use Facebook. Going in, folks know that the owner is a liberal f*cktard and the site is bent that way as well.

Stop using it, and find another platform.

Pretty simple.

It does not matter weather are a facebook user or a non-facebook user or delete an account. Zuckerberg admitted they track you online NO MATTER WHAT!

At least nobody in Government is talking about actually enforcing our Anti Trust Laws describing this activity as a FELONY!!!

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/antitrust-laws

The Sherman Act outlaws “every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade,” and any “monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize.” Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids. These acts are “per se” violations of the Sherman Act; in other words, no defense or justification is allowed.

The penalties for violating the Sherman Act can be severe. Although most enforcement actions are civil, the Sherman Act is also a criminal law, and individuals and businesses that violate it may be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Criminal prosecutions are typically limited to intentional and clear violations such as when competitors fix prices or rig bids. The Sherman Act imposes criminal penalties of up to $100 million for a corporation and $1 million for an individual, along with up to 10 years in prison. Under federal law, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the amount the conspirators gained from the illegal acts or twice the money lost by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is over $100 million.

The right needs to sue companies like FB out of existence due to their use of double standards regarding political, gender, racial or ethnic discrimination. We must use their own play book against them.

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse’s brilliant line of questioning exposed some of the problems with handing over these responsibilities to Zuckerburg..... “Can you define hate speech?” Sasse asked. Zuckerberg admitted that beyond calls for violence, he couldn’t come up with a definition of the sort of speech that should be banned by an algorithm.

Say what? Zuck can’t define hate speech? Bullhockey. Not for the cameras, he cant. Little lyin’ POS.

Let me help Zuck with that. Herewith is uber-liberal Facebook’s censorship up close....and its not very pretty.

REALITY CHECK: A Michigan House of Representatives and state lottery commissioner submitted his reelection announcement to Facebook........but the Facebook Nazis rejected his ad “because it doesn’t follow Facebook Advertising Policies. Facebook does not allow ads that contain shocking, disrespectful or sensational content, including ads that depict violence or threats of violence.”

So what was the reelections ad’s content that made Facebook go ballistic?

In its entirety: “I’m proud to announce my candidacy for State Senate. Lansing needs conservative, West Michigan values, and as our next State Senator, I will work to strengthen our economy, limit government, lower our auto insurance rates, balance the budget, stop sanctuary cities, pay down government debt and be a Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment leader for the people.
