I guess zotting will become a thing of the past if this legislation passes.

Get government out of our lives

And get government off Facebook!

Many small towns and other government units around where I live provide access to critical public information only through Facebook. Making government use of Facebook illegal should be a very high priority.

“They will, however, go out of business over time and go the way of the buggy whip. They are an outdated technology experiencing a waning reader base. “

You must have missed the part where I said they went Digital (went online), then kicked all the conservatives off.

That is why Trump became President and will again in 2020.

get government off Facebook!...Making government use of Facebook illegal should be a very high priority.

Government use of Facebook IS illegal! Totally unconstitutional. (The Constitution is the Supreme law of the land (U.S. Const., Art IV, Sec. 2), trumps all federal law (Id.), and is the ONLY source of legitimate federal action.) Unconstitutional federal laws and acts are illegal, invalid, and are acts of tyranny.

Our TOP PRIORITY must be to DISMANTLE the 80+% unconstitutional portion of the federal government!!!

Would to God you and the Right had the same passion against the evil of the tyranny of the mostly unconstitutional federal government that you have against Facebook.

May God raise the right man in 2024 to finish the job Trump started.

No, I didn't miss it. I saw what you wrote. And then I said at that point they are a website and no longer a newspaper.

Why would you want to read a newspaper or a website that would kick you off if your comments were conservative? Don't give them the chance. Stay away.

I wouldn't engage with liberal websites who don't want your traffic. Go somewhere else that isn't in the hate business.

I don't watch TV news or read newspapers or news magazines at all.

I get all my news from Drudge links and FR. I stay informed but not through the conventional methods.

Then I can make up my own mind and know I'm not being fed a steady stream of liberal, fake news.

Break them up as illegal monopolies or regulate them like utilities. That would mean no discriminatory provision of service to anyone. No censorship of any but (key words) CLEARLY ILLEGAL speech. As it is they are acting like publishers exercising editorial control, yet they are being regulated like platforms which have no editorial control. That is unacceptable.

and for the record, Alphabet is worse and more dangerous than either facebook or twitter.

...Not Secure—

Shows up before www.freerepublic.com on my browser every time I come over here. I can come, but it’s “not secure.” What, if anything, does that mean?

It only happens here. Never shows up if I google Twitter or New York Times or any other place I might want to go.
