Facebook Punishes Conservative News Site for Criticizing Mass Migration
Breitbart ^ | April 9, 2019 | Thomas D. Williams

Facebook has repeatedly punished a fast-growing news website for its conservative views on immigration and other topics–suspending its moderators, censoring content, and threatening to close the site down. Voiceofeurope.com, which takes pride in its “uncensored news,” has been effectively bludgeoned into submission by Facebook and recently announced it will self-censor on the social media site to avoid losing its page.

The Trump administration needs to declare Facebook and the like are common carriers so they can no longer engage in censorship.

Saw the same site get blacklisted at Twitter. It showed videos of what a s*hole some places in Europe have become.

Interesting. I have been posting conservative opinions on Facebook. Waiting to get banned. I’ll let you know when it happens.

Making sites like FR more relevant than ever.

People are fools for letting that monster into their lives. Just try and get your personal info back. It’s out there now. FR is as close to social media as I get.

Forcing them into “common carrier” status sounds good if we have a sane President like Trump, but when Obama 2.0 or Hillary 4.0 gets into office, and imposes the “Fairness Doctrine” on those “common carriers”, all conservative speech will be silenced by government order rather than the whims of some over-entitled jerk CEO.

I’d much rather see either the “Cake Shop Ruling” (the business owner’s personal objections to a customer’s lifestyle aren’t grounds for refusing service) or an anti-trust suit be levied against Facebook/Twitter/Google/Youtube.

Why not just go into Facebook change all of your personal information to fictitious and then delete your account? sounds smart to me

That private dinner meeting with President Obama dated February 17, 2011 now looms larger and larger in the legal side of things. We could end up with some of the biggest names in technology besides Facebook facing potentially serious charges of violating the First Amendment because of this dinner meeting.

Easiest way is to find a few users who are not your followers already and see if your accounts and all your posts show up.

Conservatives are not welcome, that is now very clear.

I deleted.

Should have changed personal info first, but it is what it is.

Quote from the writings of Benito Mussolini:
“From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, that all ideologies are mere fictions, the modern relativist infers that everybody has the right to create for himself his own ideology, and to attempt to enforce it with all the energy of which he is capable.”

“If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and men who claim to be the bearers of an objective immortal truth, then there is nothing more relativistic than fascism.”
