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.

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.
