"But I AM an Economist!"
Big Brother says “It has always been that recessions only happen during Republican administrations”.
Are we in agreement yet on the definition of insanity?
How many times does it have to happen for others to get a clue? Even FReepers???
Nothing is EVER going to change, no different than months/years ago.
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. The mask has come off entirely. They must think they have this in the bag.
They either have this in the bag or they are incredibly stupid. I guess this election will prove which.
No question, these companies are creating content and should lose their protection under Section 230.
They changed the definition of vaccine too. They are insane
Looks like Facebook changed from being a place to post pictures of the dog to the government’s way of controlling thoughts and free expression. Although the government doesn’t own Facebook, it nevertheless colludes with Facebook to monitor postings and to promote those that obey the official party line and to trash those that don’t.
The government says that IT is not doing this. Oh, it would neeeever do anything illegal like that, noooo!
Doesn’t matter. By telling Facebook and other social media to monitor and control, the government is limiting thoughts and speech, which it has no right to do. Do the social media expect some kind of compensation in return, or do they do this willingly out of the goodness of their liberal hearts. (I think so).
Facebook and the other social media have become traps for those who do not adhere to the party line. The media tempt them to post their thoughts, and scan the postings for non-conforming individuals who are slated for punishment. The punishment is not always given by the government - companies who sympathize with the left cheerfully fire employees who post things that are not official dogma.
Maybe when Trump is re-elected he can Nationalize FB and Twitter?
Facebook = Fakebook

Are we not living in 1984?
The Brave New World was/is a non-fiction.
The movie ‘Idiocracy’ has become a documentary.

I’m re-reading “1984”. It’s scary how much it resembles 2022.
Misinformation: anything said that contradicts a Democrat position or just makes a Democrat look bad.
‘The economist said his post “drew attention to the fact that [PolitiFact is] using political talking points in lieu of actual fact-checking. They’re stepping in and becoming partisan actors here.” ‘
They’re not “becoming” partisan, they’ve always been partisan.
Well, the upside of this is that these “fact checkers” need to step in because every time the left was trying to debate on social media they were losing. The censorship is a desperation tactic from the losing side, and it’s a sign of their weakness. Don’t forget that.
Those fart checkers at Fartbook are all FOS. Just a bunch of America haters.
