MENLO PARK, CAIn an attempt to stop the spread of real news on the platform, Facebook has banned The Babylon Bee.
While many social media networks are struggling with slowing the spread of fake news, Facebook is suffering from the opposite problem. People are sharing jokes thinking they are just funny, fake stories, but then they are finding out that they are closer to the truth than any Fox News or CNN article.
"The Babylon Bee claims to be satire, but their articles keep coming true. It's a clear case of false advertising," said Mark Zuckerberg. "We can't allow a news source this pure, this true, this perfect from infiltrating our platform and actually telling the people the truth."
Facebook SWAT teams showed up at The Babylon Bee's offices and took our editors into custody for reeducation. We do not think it is going to work, as we will resist any attempts to brainwash us, and also, Mark Zuckerberg is an upstanding citizen and an important contributor to society.
First, if you are a Facebook (or Twitter) user for personal use such as keeping up with the family and friends old and new: If you are the non-political type among friends and family it’s best to keep this separate. On my personal facebook you can add your Facebook friends in categories such as “My Trump Supporting Friends and family” and whenever you wish to share pro-trump articles, you can simply add “My Trump Supporting Friends and family”category as the only friends that see it.
But if you don’t care if all your friends see it, just post the pro-trump articles as “public” for all to see it. Public makes it easier for others to share your post.
Facebook seems to put more warning labels on your posts than they actually ban an entire account.
Twitter, I believe you simply can reply to the email letting them know you have re-read the rules and regulations and promise to abide by them and you’ll get your account back. This has happened to me with my political Twitter account probably 10 times or maybe more since 2012.
If Twitter completely bans you, you should be able to just create a new user name and start again from scratch. Not sure if you will need to use a different email address to sign up again. But it is easy to open a new account.
So is satire about satire like a double negative?
Got shut out, password was no longer good and page would be deleted in 30 days????
Had it for business, nothing else, no political cometary at all.
Their death is much anticipated!
Okay, thanks.
I'll start it with this quote:
"Stephanopoulos was finally forced to cut Biden's rambling monologue short. .... Then Biden chimed in again and started talking about a story of his dad losing his job in Scranton. 'If you're going to hang out afterwards I'll tell you more,' Biden told the Town Hall participant as Stephanopoulos tried to move on to the next questioner."
So which is it? Bee or Not To Bee?
Is it live or is it Memorex?
If you tell the truth about Democrats on Face Book. If you don’t toe the Company line about Covis 19 on Face Book. if you tell the truth about homosexuals on Face Book. your ass is gone.
Another FUNNY article from the Babylon Bee. I guess it’ll be banned soon...
The best and greatest decision I ever made was NOT TO JOIN FACEBOOK NOR TWITTER.
I love the uniqueness of my decision.
That about sums it up.
And so, finally, the last great source of good news on Facebook has been banned.
DANG!
