Well, there IS that aspect of it. You pays your money and you takes your chances gambling with Socialists.

Get a Lawyer.

social media that allows political speech and has more than 500,000 members should provide freedom of speech.

youtube Twitter google FB all monopolies

I’ve got to say if Facebook is the he way I find you then forget it. I don’t tweet or post crap to Facebook. There has to be a way to do what Brian does without those left wing anal orfices. He deserves better than that azzhats Zuckershitz.

Just making sure we understand:

He paid FB $315,000 to advertise his FB pages?
Then FB deleted those pages for political reasons?
And FB even deleted his non-political page selling coffee?

Is that correct? There has to be a lawsuit in there somewhere.

A friend and I seriously considered pimping a business on FB. Lots of hoops to jump through and they want a LOT of $ to promote you...if they FEEL like it on any given day.

We went elsewhere.

Give the man back the money you stole, Zuckerburg.

Facebook is a monopoly

They are not. As I pointed out, there are alternatives to Facebook available. Even MySpace is still around. Yahoo GeoCities and Angelfire before Facebook. Remember Usenet?

And Facebook at its core is just a website.

overdue for regulation

Which will be used to shut down conservative blogs and sites if the Left regains power. Conservatives don't support gov't regulation.

and it is also an entity which deleted all pro-Republican pages less than 30 days before an election: a Federal elections violation (illegal contribution to the Democrats).

But they are not classified as a media entity or something that regulated by both FCC and IRS laws though. It'll be pretty hard to make a case against them.

Obama's DOJ would put 100 lawyers to war against a conservative Facebook doing the same

And you would be rightfully screaming at the top of your lungs defending them if such a thing happened.

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 "trustworthiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.

Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.

Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.

For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.

Proposed installation in the homes of FB users special Facebook cameras that would follow and monitor users around as they went about their private lives inside their homes. But the cameras, Zuckerberg assured, would come with privacy settings which Facebook would, like, totally respect, or something.

Asked for user telephone numbers for 2 factor authentication but within weeks used that data for marketing purposes. If users chose to share their entire contact list, Facebook also shared that data with advertisers, even phone numbers of people who NEVER had a facebook account! After the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB pleged to reinvigorate user privacy but neither of these practices has stopped.

In the runup to the 2018 midterm elections, FB removed over 800 conservative political pages and accounts in a clamp down on what the social media company arbitrarily termed, “inauthentic behavior”. This move affected an estimated 66 million FB users, most of them Conservative.

First big mistake made here was having anything to do with FB.

BTW, You’re not in charge of who posts what here. Go start your own forum if you want to gate keep and police threads. Sorry, that’s just the way we roll at FR. If you don’t like that, there’s a door.

Brian can advertise and set up shop on MeWe, an alternative to FB.

True. BUT... will Facebook give him back the MONEY he already invested ?

Do you have an extra $300,000 to give him to start up on an alternative site ?

What would you do if you purchased an item on EBAY, and EBAY refused to deliver said product and kept your money ?

I completely agree with you on this point. FB should refund him the money, and this gentleman should use it to start-up his own business or social media site on the web.

Facebook's ubiquity makes them indecipherable from any television network, except far more powerful. No terrestrial or cable network has a reach of 2.4 BILLION people (214 million in the U.S. alone)
