What could possibly go wrong! When you try and regulate free speech it can only go one way. WRONG!

Facebook disabled one million faked accounts----means Facebook misrepresented itself to advertisers
so that it could charge more for ads. This is a criminal offense.

REFERENCE A couple of newspapermen were jailed b/c they
cooked the books WRT readership —— to charge more for ads.

Facebook deleting a billion accounts is solid evidence of wrongdoing.

The SEC should be advised that FACEBOOK apparently mislead investors.

CONTACT enforcement @SEC.gov

Investors should be mailing their FACEBOOK Annual Reports to their attorneys as we type.

The SEC prosecutes when publicly-held companies falsify Annual Reports.

Yep.......Last night the media/Obama/Hillary/Dem Bots were out in full force, back to back comments on every Russian/Putin twitter thread after the Ny Times article on Russia came out. I was stunned I tell you.......Journalists, former Hillary and Obama officials, DNC leaders...it was aimed and loaded to run and flood.............

Stunning display on how they ‘flood out’ social media.

Does democrat voter fraud count as election hijinks too? If it doesn't, they're not serious about anything.

Truly stunning how they aren’t hiding their intentions. Zuckerberg is a big time global/socialist in the tank with them all. So they make cooked up complaints about ‘security’, he plays along, then will due his duty to ‘secure’ social media..Round and round they go!

Real meaning "Stopping other people from discrediting the fake news narrative we want to support."

Time to break up these monopolies.
