“I’m going to go post a bunch and see if I can get put in FB Jail...AGAIN!”

How about posting these verses:

Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13.

He meant that as a warning.

But remember what Ray Bradbury said in Fahrenheit 451: Censorship begins with the people, not with the government. If we allow it personally, we will eventually enable government to do it “because it’s the people’s will.”

I know the other side will take Bradbury’s words as an instruction manual rather than a dire warning. We have to fight this with every weapon available while we are still able to.

Pre-Facebook times were not such a bad life, really.

I'm with you on that. I'm not on Facebook. I'd hop in the DeLorean and head back to the 80's if I could.

But this is all about cutting off our ability to reach and influence voters who are on the fence. I'm not on Facebook but they are.

PAC political ads clutter my feed. They don't identify who pays for them, just the name of the PAC (awful law). If I can't have my Wikileaks and Diamond & Silk feeds, why are PAC ads okay? Perhaps "the Russians" could set up a PAC, then they'd be legal.

It's getting very, very boring on FB. CSPAN, MSN, and FR on FB get some good discussions going on FB, but except for that it's "keep the masses entertained" stuff. And ads, lots of ads.

Fight back. Report anything on their site that looks liberal as spam, including anything from yahoo or yahoo sports.

You are right. That is the main reason I am on Facebook.

I only post on FB for two reasons:

Something is incisive enough to make some headway with the undecideds, or is amusing or fascinating enough that I think it will encourage people to follow me, and thus see the incisive stuff.

No family stuff, birthdays, or where I went. My Timeline is always public—no special groups to see certain things.

The Plan is in place, funded by Soros, produced by Media Matters' David Brock. It is an outgrowth (metastasis?) of Hillary's VRWC theory from back in the day. No surprise since Media Matters is a Clintonoid propaganda shop. It started with a huge (300+ pgs) memo from Chris Lehane to HRC back in 1995 outlining his imagined orchestrated network of right-wing propaganda pushers. The current leftist media operation to "disappear" conservative sites is directed at making what that theory sees as "key nodes" vanish, becoming desaparecidos. They imagine that the network of conservative opinion-making is fragile enough that taking out a few nodes will silence their opposition.

Solve it like I did, delete your Facebook account.

That solves nothing.

Once again, clueless FReepers yelling at clouds, fail to comprehend the power and importance of modern social media.

Mark Zuckerberg chose the name “Facebook” because “Fake News Propaganda Tool” was too long.

Individuals who run publicly-held social media sites such as Google, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, etc, are deciding what is allowed on the internet. NOTE Maxine Waters told us the Halfrican had a huge unprecedented data base of American to use in Democrat campaigns. How'd the half cast imbecile do that? How many visits did Facebook's Zuckerberg have w/ the Halfrican in the White House ? Dozens and dozens....And when candidate Obama looted Facebook of personal data for his campaign. Zuck was right there helping Obama take whatever he wanted.

========================================

It is entirely possible that these activities and social media's exclusionary practices may have violated federal laws that may include, but not be limited, to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government for funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by ERISA enacted 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government,

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate 4th amendment rights.

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with a public enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §2 41 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional mandates in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Taxpayers should demand the following agencies commence investigations at once:
<><> FBI — Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ’s Criminal Division— Public Integrity Section
<><> DOJ Criminal Division—Organized Crime and Gang Section.

KEEP IN MIND---FACEBOOK IS A PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANY SUBJECT TO SEC RULES
The SEC looks askance when publicly-held companies misrepresent their value to investors and/or falsify Annual Reports.

This Facebook Prospectus is what Zuckerberg used to dupe investors when he went public.
The prospectus describe "a public forum where all viewpoints are equally tolerated."
That's what he said....what he did was radically different.

THESE ARE ZUCKERBURG'S WORDS---From Facebook's IPO Prospectus dated May 3, 2012:

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them to the people they care about.

Developers can use the Facebook Platform to build applications (apps) and websites that integrate with Facebook to reach our global network of users and to build products that are more personalized, social, and engaging.

Advertisers can engage with more than 900 million monthly active users (MAUs) on Facebook or subsets of our users based on information they have chosen to share with us such as their age, location, gender, or interests. We offer advertisers a unique combination of reach, relevance, social context, and engagement to enhance the value of their ads.

We believe that we are at the forefront of enabling faster, easier, and richer communication between people and that Facebook has become an integral part of many of our users’ daily lives. We have experienced rapid growth in the number of users and their engagement.

[snip]

How We Create Value for Users

Our top priority is to build useful and engaging products that enable you to:

Connect with Your Friends. With more than 900 million MAUs worldwide, our users are increasingly able to find and stay connected with their friends, family, and colleagues on Facebook.

Discover and Learn. We believe that users come to Facebook to discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them.

Express Yourself. We enable our users to share and publish their opinions, ideas, photos, and activities to audiences ranging from their closest friends to our 900 million users, giving every user a voice within the Facebook community.

Control What You Share. Through Facebook’s privacy and sharing settings, our users can control what they share and with whom they share it.

Experience Facebook Across the Web. Through apps and websites built by developers using the Facebook Platform, our users can interact with their Facebook friends while playing games, listening to music, watching movies, reading news, and engaging in other activities.

Stay Connected with Your Friends on Mobile Devices. Through the combination of our mobile sites, smartphone apps, and feature phone products, users can bring Facebook with them on mobile devices wherever they go. Foundations of the Social Web

We believe that the web, including the mobile web, is evolving to become more social and personalized. This evolution is creating more rewarding experiences that are centered on people, their connections, and their interests. We believe that the following elements form the foundation of the social web:

Authentic Identity. We believe that using your real name, connecting to your real friends, and sharing your genuine interests online create more engaging and meaningful experiences. Representing yourself with your authentic identity online encourages you to behave with the same norms that foster trust and respect in your daily life offline.

Authentic identity is core to the Facebook experience, and we believe that it is central to the future of the web. Our terms of service require you to use your real name and we encourage you to be your true self online, enabling us and Platform developers to provide you with more personalized experiences.

Social Graph. The Social Graph represents the connections between people and their friends and interests. Every person or entity is represented by a point within the graph, and the affiliations between people and their friends and interests form billions of connections between the points. Our mapping of the Social Graph enables Facebook and Platform developers to build more engaging user experiences that are based on these connections.

Social Distribution. Over time, people are consuming and creating more kinds of information at a faster pace across a broader range of devices. The growing volume of information makes it challenging to find meaningful and trusted content and to effectively make your voice heard. Facebook organizes and prioritizes content and serves as a powerful social distribution tool delivering to users what we believe they will find most compelling based on their friends and interests.

Express what matters to them?

Richer communication between people?

Integral part of users' daily lives?

Discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them?

We enable our users to share and publish their opinions, ideas, photos, and activities to audiences ranging from their closest friends to our 900 million users, giving every user a voice within the Facebook community?

Stole his business idea

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend

Secretly sold users’ data

Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".

Married in the community proprety state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.

Requested nude photos of users to “protect them against the risk of revenge porn”.

Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data “so I can help cure diseases”.

Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.

De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.

Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so “my users can check their balances on my site."

Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".

Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of.

Established a "trustwothiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.

Yes, the big fist of government will work.

A hundred million dead people during the last century proves how effective it is.

We sure as hell should not go down that path again.
