I go one beyond censorship of Facebook.
I have never used it from the inception of it.
To: Impala64ssa
I knew it.
I could smell it coming.
NEVER signed up.
Never will.

We knew that. And they deliberately favor jihadi accounts because they feel that muzziys are oppressed by those evil oppressor Christians.

I have never had anything to do with Facebook and I never intend to do so. Its a horrible libtard vehicleSame here. People mention it every day. Some are astounded I can exist without it. And without Twitter, too.

Listen, I understand that this is not a First Amendment issue. Facebook has the right to curate whatever they want. They have the right to boot whatever content they want. Its a business. Okay? Okay. The problem here is that Facebook has been actively lying about their behind-the-scenes censorship practices. Theyve also courted clients and taken millions (possibly billions) of dollars from Conservative media entities in advertising, who were presented with the concept of an open, financially viable social media platform. The problem is with Facebook changing the rules based on ideology. Yes, this has happened to us quite a bit. ABC is using Facebook 'trending' to cover the election. The partnership is known:

Facebook data mining for political views
By Hadas Gold | 10/30/14 10:19 PM EDT
Facebook is mining its data of users' posts to find out how users feel about certain candidates or issues and sharing that data with ABC News and BuzzFeed for use in their 2016 reporting, the social-networking site will announce on Friday.

“Facebook data mining for political views”
How’s that going to work if they delete posts of a political nature that they don’t like? People will decide to not bother posting and the data will be skewed. Of course, they may not care about skewed data.

Facebook as an entity might be evil, but Facebook as a medium can have a lot of value.
I (and many "friends") are currently in a battle with a quasi-branch of the federal government. They were prepared to roll over us with no opposition. I started a Facebook group to spread the word and was surprised when it grew to over 100 members. a couple of months later it's swollen to almost 1000 members, and this is a private group. As we gained members, we gained valuable experience from the various people who are engaged. that experience allowed us to put real pressure on those bureaucrats that were to decide our fate last week.
We were able to generate real grass-roots power and gained some major concessions from them in round one. We continue to organize toward an acceptable solution that will prevent the destruction of over $100M of private property. Had Facebook not been around to use as an organizing medium, we most certainly would have been defeated.
Again, Facebook the company may be evil, but the medium has a lot of value if you have a need to use it.
