These mistakes do financial damage and as such restitution is in order for the victims of these mistakes.
Just like all the “mistakes” in the media about Trump are always negative in nature. They never make a mistake about Trump that is positive. Nor do they ever make a mistake about any leftist that is negative. Completely defies the law of averages.
And then they wonder why we consider them the enemy of the people.
For the last few weeks I’ve been watching Facebook delete Prager U video promotions off my feed. They would appear for a second, and then just disappear.
If this “error” cost them in monetization, will Facebook compensate them? I wonder if this might be a path for those who monetize their activity on Facebook, YouTube, etc., to pursue legal action?
Facebook is really a “FakeBook” or a “Fraudbook” or a “Farcebook”. I’m being kind to these leftist bastards.
There have been enough examples of undocumented censor charges and denial of service to form the basis for a combined lawsuit by Prage, Jones, and the others who suffered from Facebook’s bias.
Hope they all get together, hire the best junkyard dog lawyers around, and sue the shit out of Facebook, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, etc.
Time to go on the offensive, and also they should offer to testify before Congress re the hearings they are holding about Facebook, etc in the upcoming weeks.
The “customer” who has suffered at the hands of these leftists should be given a voice before Congress.
Let the dice roll and the chips fall as they may.
Everything’s always a mistake once they get caught.
They over-played their hand.
For now.
Funny “mistake”.
Guess they had a lot of complaints.

This was no mistake. This was book burning. So, added to book burners, they are liars. Not a good picture.
“Liberals” today are yesterdays Nazis, banning publishing and writings. I’m surprised Liberals aren’t out burning books.
The vast majority of freedom lovers who get censored into oblivion, stay there. As intended. They can't be bothered to be honest or consistent in regards to their own policy.
It is funny that facebook, twitter and the others don’t realize how infiltrated they are by people looking to take down those businesses...
They way to fix mistakes like this is to replace the people that wrongly pulled the posts. I bet they did not do that.
There is no way this was an accident. There is no way that Praeger U constitutes anything but a fireside chat with a wise man smoking a cigar.
FB has shown itself to be a fascist that is eliminating anything but official leftist propaganda. FB’s suckerburg needs to be in jail where his fake tears will turn into real ones.
De-listing a small account based on some algorithm might be a mistake.
De-listing a major account with millions of followers, based on an algorithm and without prior review of the reasons by a senior executive, and without a reasonable explanation as to the specific reasons for the action, reflects corporate policy.
Hope a bazillion people close their accounts. Since when can’t you put an opinion out? Even if you’re Russian.
Want to stop it. Simple FINE THE BUMS> AND I MEAN FINE THEM> 10 Million Dollars per Incident. Unless you hit them in the pocketbook, they will continue this hate of anything positive about Pres. Trump or Conservative. And when the leftists complain about it. Tell them two words: DROP DEAD!!!!!
In case there are any more ignorant people out there (as I was) about PragerU = here is a good article about it....
Albeit from Motherjones.com is not the best choice of an explanatory article probably, but this one is pretty well written and gives some eyepopping figures.....such as in the title of the article:
Inside the Right-Wing YouTube Empire That’s Quietly Turning Millennials Into Conservatives
The viral videos from Dennis Prager’s “university” have clocked more than 1 billion views.
I guess I will have to add Prager U to my “diet.”
These social media platforms need to do more. Open up the algorithms that cause only conservative users to be banned.
It is good that high profile users(with plenty of money for lawyers) are being restored but it is not enough. The little guy who does not have a huge following and an alternative megaphone to cry foul.
There needs to be transparency about how these bans come about. What are the standards and what specifically triggered the ban. Improper banning should have repercussions beyond “Oops, we’re sorry.”
Imagine being arrested and told you broke a law. You are not told what action was illegal just that you are did something illegal.
Force the issue until Facebook either discloses how they ban users or stops banning conservatives for being conservative. Probably the latter since they dont want to admit wrongdoing.
Stop putting conservatives in Facebook jail.
