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.

That’s Me! Four times last year, 5 times this year! I refuse to kowtow to FB joke of “standards” when I see far worse posted in memes on their web site.
