Facebook, like FR can control what they want on and what passes through their domain.

Yes, of course they can, but they’re still the biggest dog in the world, and they pretend to be even-handed when they’re anything but. At least they could come right out and say, “Conservative and Christian viewpoints not welcome here.”

Yes and no.

FR uses admins/moderators to keep content within defined norms.

FB, otoh, largely uses automation and algorithims. There’s simply too much content out there to have enough staff to monitor.

Once people understand this, manipulating how FB deals with objectionable content isn’t all that hard. Just start getting people to hit the abuse button: there’s a threshold where pages get locked down, where human FB staff have to investigate and unlock, etc.

The Left is just quicker and better, more organized about it, than we are. If we could get our act together we could start automatically shutting down Liberal pages. At a rate Which would overwhelm the ability of FB staff to investigate and unlock. Which would draw heat off of Conservative pages.

Anyone remember Google Bombing? Same concept. Except it became passé when Conservatives engaged and suddenly searches on “Miserable Failure” returned links to John Kerry-related websites, not George W Bush ones.
