Facebook is a great example of a good idea gone bad in the hands of a tyrant.

My wife began using it to communicate with a group of friends from her high school days. When I got on I found it had great potential for community networks up here where we live in Norther Idaho. I've seen it help people with everything from runaway cattle or a need for firewood to emergency home repair after a wind storm.

That community networking was very useful during the last political campaign cycle, but in the process I may have done something that triggered a snowflake and resulted in my life time ban. That's when I learned that FB has no customer service and there is no way to appeal a ban or, more importantly, to find out what the offending action may have been.

I moved on and quit worrying about it, I lived without them before. BUt two weeks ago when I sat down at my desk to do some Christmas shopping, I discovered that I am also banned from Amazon. ...AMAZON! WTF? This shows the other side of how FB can be used to harm far beyond the personal insult of a personal account being disabled.

What got snipped from my comment (above) is that I've also learned that Facbook has closed the accounts of Brian Koflage who began the effort to raise money for the wall.

I just got a 2-day “Timeout” from GWP for posting these accurate & truthful comments...which were removed:

**********************************************
FOX is now a “lite” version of MSNBC.
@OANN is MUCH more Fair & Balanced!

***********************************************
Karl Marx’s 19th century cult of leftism, under all of its brand names, is a severe mental disorder and an inability to grasp reality.

***********************************************

Leftism, under all of its’ totalitarian brand names, has a record of massive failure - economically, morally & culturally.
In the 20th century, leftism was responsible for more than 250 MILLION deaths.
For anyone to continue to believe in leftism is indicative of extraordinary intellectual stupidity, severe psychosis...or just pure evil.

**************************************************

Well... technically Brian Kolfage wasn't banned from Facebook. A conspiracy page he was running was removed. His personal account is still active: https://www.facebook.com/Brian.Kolfage.jr/
