Facebook is Evil.
It’s time to break up Fakebook.
Make these scum sites “utilities” and break them the fek up.
So their goal appears to be to lose as many customers as possible. Sounds like progs are running the thing.
THIS is fascism.
Nominally private enterprise acting in cooperation with and at the pleasure of the ultimate ruling party.
Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. are all currying favor with their expected future Leftist fascist leader.
Acting as organs of the state and engaging in suppression which would be illegal if done directly by the government. Screw the First (Second, etc.) Amendment - time for Leftist utopia! Just like Venezuela. Cuba. Mao. Pol Pot. Etc.
Thought control.
Wish you were wrong.
SEC: damaging stockholders through share value loss from public scandal.
FTC: defrauding consumers through deceitful and selective contract (terms of service) enforcement.
CDA: violating condition of content liability protection by acting as editor/publisher.
We do not even need to have Anti-Trust invoked. We need a real Congress and real DOJ.
Yes. It is literal fascism - but it has been building for a long time.
Google officials visited Obama’s Oval Office over 200 times. About what? Grandchildren and golf?
Jeffry Immelt conspired with Obama circa 2010: banning patent-expired incandescent bulbs (mandating patented CFLs), political and financial campaign support, $0 Federal taxes by GE.
Adolf Hitler and Wilhelm Messerschmitt enjoyed such a fascistic relationship.
It was bait-and-switch. Free-speech so they could build a monopoly, then shut it down when we have no alternatives because they are losing election.
FIE ping.
This is the Facebook Is Evil ping list.

I was shocked when I gave up my FB account about a year ago. Not one person called and said they missed me. Somehow I thought the world would crumble without my FB presence.
Guess I was wrong. Oh, well.
Then declare censorship of anything a felony for the entire board of directors.
