Is the NYT bigot been banned on any of these platforms? Case closed.

Antifa?
Jihadis?

If funny means deliberate.

2Facebook needs to show one LEFTY that has been banned.

Has the NYT’s bigot been banned? Not a chance.

I have a twitter account- I have never posted- I don't follow anyone-not even sure why I have it
I have account(s) on facebook but have never posted anything about myself and never will
Both of these were pushed by younger relatives who thought the sites mattered.
They don't.
And I feel sorry for everyone whose life revolves around them.

I don't read the nytimes- they have nothing that I care about
I'm guessing that they're banging their heads on walls trying to figure out how to sell their crap as I type this.
Worthless

If I want the truth, or warnings about things that matter it won't be coming from any of these.

Being businesses they should worry about being taken down from within...but they aren't.
because they're just that smart...

A class action suit, by the millions of viewers, should be filed.

Facebook seems to be spending a lot of time apologizing. But they’re spending even more time banning the next score of conservative groups who offending the sensibilities of their snowflake consultants.

The Media complains that Trump has an ‘enemies list’. My reaction is ‘so what if he does’? Social media most certainly does maintain lists of their enemies, and that is indisputable.

*** These social media platforms need to do more. Open up the algorithms that cause only conservative users to be banned. ***

FB executives use a lot of jargon to impress the yokels in congress. What they have done is hire ‘consultants’ to police the postings on their own platform. If one of those consultants sees something that you posted, shared that offends their sensibilities, BAMMO your shadow-banded, suspended or de-listed. All the consultants are liberal, like the SPLC, so guess which group gets banned a lot?

These guys are smart, but I doubt that they can write an algorithm that would be as efficient as the liberal Mark One Eyeball.

Dear FaceBook,

F88k you.

F88k you and your plastic pretensions and projections of virtue.

I will not thank you for restoring pages of banned Conservatives.

I will not give you that authority over me.

As James Bond says, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action”.

When all the breaks happen in the same direction, they are not mistakes.

Perhaps these companies do not have complete control of their deeply partisan employees. Since there is no list of names of employees fired as a result of this “mistake”, this is not likely to change.
