Facebook sparked outrage among free speech advocates when it fact-checked a senior economist with the American Institute of Economic Research for spreading so-called misinformation. The platform flagged the economist for — get this — correctly defining the word “recession.”

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

Told you this was coming.
Enemies in the same way that Ho, Kim, Hitler and Tojo were our enemies. And warranting the same consequences for their actions.
"But I AM an Economist!"
Big Brother says “It has always been that recessions only happen during Republican administrations”.
There is lot of truth in what you said.
Are we in agreement yet on the definition of insanity?
How many times does it have to happen for others to get a clue? Even FReepers???
Nothing is EVER going to change, no different than months/years ago.
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. The mask has come off entirely. They must think they have this in the bag.
They either have this in the bag or they are incredibly stupid. I guess this election will prove which.
No question, these companies are creating content and should lose their protection under Section 230.
They changed the definition of vaccine too. They are insane
I was in FB jail for a day because I posted what Goebbels said about repeating lies and having them believed. Also, the bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed. Then I showed a pic of our DHS Mayorkas claiming that the border is closed, that it is secure and that it is under control. I asked an admin on Free Republic FB Group how I violated community standards. He replied that it was because of the Goebbels meme. FB considers it dangerous individuals or organizations.
Looks like Facebook changed from being a place to post pictures of the dog to the government’s way of controlling thoughts and free expression. Although the government doesn’t own Facebook, it nevertheless colludes with Facebook to monitor postings and to promote those that obey the official party line and to trash those that don’t.
The government says that IT is not doing this. Oh, it would neeeever do anything illegal like that, noooo!
Doesn’t matter. By telling Facebook and other social media to monitor and control, the government is limiting thoughts and speech, which it has no right to do. Do the social media expect some kind of compensation in return, or do they do this willingly out of the goodness of their liberal hearts. (I think so).
Facebook and the other social media have become traps for those who do not adhere to the party line. The media tempt them to post their thoughts, and scan the postings for non-conforming individuals who are slated for punishment. The punishment is not always given by the government - companies who sympathize with the left cheerfully fire employees who post things that are not official dogma.
Maybe when Trump is re-elected he can Nationalize FB and Twitter?
That's not the answer.
Facebook = Fakebook
Seems an appropriate penalty for suppressing the truth.
The problem is what happens when Trump is out of power and somebody else has control over it.
