Facebook Shows Bias In Blocking Conservative Account From Posting

Resistance Feed ^ | October 15, 2019 | Rhett October

Facebook blocked the account of ResistanceFeed.com from posting links on October 15 and said that the ban would last until October 22. The link that Resistance Feed had posted on on its page was about the footage that ABC had posted claiming that it was video from the Middle East from an attack on the Kurds.

ABC retracted the story, admitting that the video footage was not from the Middle East and not of the Kurds and/or Turks but rather a video of an explosion in the United States in Kentucky from 2017.

So Resistance Feed wasn't posting an unsupported accusation, but one that ABC had admitted to and that had been reported by other outlets including mainstream sources.

Facebook banned RF from posting links. Then, this morning Facebook extended the block to October 27. The message says, "Your Page has been blocked from sharing links. This limit is temporary and expires Sunday, October 27, 2019 at 7:43 AM."

This is unfounded because since there was a block on links before, the account hasn't been able to post links. So no further so-called violation would even have been possible.

Clearly political bias from Facebook. Screenshots and additional information at the source.

Facebook is merely for women to gossip and spy on each other

nothing more

Any man on Facebook should be ashamed of himself

Is there a program that will tell you if your post has been posted at a site - for confirmation that you haven’t been blocked? I could see having two Facebook accounts, for example, such that you post to one and check (using the other account) that your post showed up. That would be cumbersome, for sure.

They aren’t afraid to tell you that you’ve been blocked. They don’t hide it like Twitter and Instagram. You can see the screen shots at the source of Facebook stating on the account page that it’s been blocked from posting. So you can’t even post or wonder about it if they blocked you.

I just heard CNN is refusing to air President Trump’s ads.

Yes, they have a bias against conservative thought, but it is far worse than than.

I have complained about many posts, advertisements and mime's that clearly express hatred of conservative ideas and the laws of the land.

No luck. Perhaps even more so, I have become enraged when Facebook targets me for certain advertisements and the products that they display for me (as demonstrated in the advertisement) are illegal to use as advertised. I have even posted the specific State or Federal statutes that the products are violating.

What has Facebook done? They have told me I can select out of seeing the advertising of illegal products from this set of firms. They have told me that they are reviewing it to see if it meets their community standards policy. They keep showing me the ads. They have expanded the reasons to allow one to challenge a post, but still illegality is not one of the areas the seems to bother them.

You can select which ads to see so that you’ll only see them once.

[Robert357]

I know that has been explained to me. However, it allows only those that know products are illegal and opt out of seeing illegal products. I would rather know whether or not Facebook is so brazen as to not care whether or not products are illegal so that there is a potentially discoverable record when someone eventually files a lawsuit.
