1> for what? what rule have they broken?
2> for what?
3> why?

I don’t like FB either, but I am not sure any laws are being broken.

They chose to stop doing business with someone. it sucks. but it happens in business all the time. I have fired clients too.

It was clearly political, and not for cause. They violated their own rules. A violation of free speech, committed by a publicly traded company, which holds a monopoly on internet communications similar to that which was enjoyed by Bell Telephone back in the day.

Crush them under the anti-trust laws.

Failing that, their are “other” more “effective” ways to deal with Zukerberg.

While the biggest.. FB is not a monopoly..

Violating their own rules is not illegal. They write the rules. I’ll bet they “update” them.

Just remember, anything used to crush liberal online companies..

can be used by liberals to crush conservative online companies..

I understand.

It’s their sand - until it’s made not to be.

There comes a point where you stop playing be the rules, less you lose everything that matters.

Facebook has been allowed to get away with murder, politically and culturally speaking. They have been allowed to “push the envelope” with regards to manipulative and unethical behavior.

It’s time to crush Zukerberg’s balls in a legal vise.

They potentially violated antitrust laws as a publicly traded company whose business model is predicated on the use of public Internet. Libs are always crying for regulation
; this is one instance where I agree, to remedy customer abuses. If this guy was encouraged by FB to spend $300,000, he may have a breach- of-promise case.

The anti trust laws are clearly collectivist in nature and deliberately vague in definition. Since they do already exist and unfortunately have passed Constitutional muster i suggest we kill two birds with one stone. After you use them to crush Amazon , Google , Facebook and Twitter the left will be screaming to have anti trust used against conservative companies. You then compromise and offer to repeal the Anti trust laws or threaten to take out other leftist organs

Brian, sue them. Period. You’ve earned that right while little Fascist Zuckerberg has pissed on your sacrifice.

MM, proud father of one of the first American soldiers into Iraq on 3/20/03 (US Army Reserve unit attached to the 3rd ID), and proud father-in-law of a US combat Marine (Kosovo and eastern Iraq).

PS: My late father-in-law got 3 Purple Hearts across the Pacific campaigns including IWO.

Zuckerberg is a pansy amongst real men. Soon the snows of sanity and lawfulness will be falling and he will wilt away, while American soldiers will stand tall through it all.

I have faith that in time these left wing advocates will receive their just rewards. They’ve had their reign and its time for exposure and drastic change.

Facebook, love um or hate um is still a private company.

So is an invading horde and both have the same goal.

Hey, give him a break, he’s got thousands of sealed indictments to review and serve in the next week.

I deactivated my Facebook page during the Kavanaugh debacle and have not gone back. There was a huge uptick in anti-Kavanaugh stuff and leftist fake news. Also, for some reason there was a big increase in pro-homosexual stuff, including ads for homosexual pick-up bars, etc. I reported some of it, but finally I got disgusted and said forget this, I’m going off Facebook.

Just imagine Brian and his family sitting in front of a Senate committee to expose Zuckerf**k’s hacking of the midterm election. His treason. It would be riveting. It might even disturb Jeff Session’s naptime.

But I fail to see how it’s illegal..

It is a clear FEC violation, and perhaps criminal as well...blatant manipulation of the upcoming midterm elections -- by the NYTimes' own admission! -- at a magnitude 100x greater than anything "The Russians" ever even tried to do.
