I am really upset by Facebook's (et al!) censorship of conservative voices, and of SPLC or whatever it is being the 'lens' through which they judge. I think a nation-wide boycott for one week would send a message.
Thoughts??
I have less than 60 friends & never had more than 65. I’m not on to get in touch with old classmates. I found early on they were only nosey as I left town 3 days after HS graduation. Many of them are rabid liberals. No thanks. In fact FB use to tell me all the time ‘I needed more friends’ & limited the posts I’d see - I think to try & make me add more people, then they’d show me all the posts I’d usually see. I finally told them I had no need to have 100’s of friends so knock it off. They did.
I’ve gone the rounds with FB for various posts. I imagine some day they’ll ban me if I don’t leave first. It’s like I’m pushing the envelope & daring them.
I quit farcebook several months ago when they really started sticking it to conservatives.
I call it FAKEBOOK! Did you know that Twitter, Disqus, and Facebook ALL CENSOR certain conservative firearm and abortion speech? See this: It is worth noting that both Disqus and Fakebook CENSOR any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook/Disqus logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden Knowledge” almost EVERYWHERE. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!
Damn to Hell Facebook and the owner!!!
Boycott for one week? How about leaving completely?
Leaving, yes, of course. but Boycott for a Week is something a great number of folks could do. It would have a start and a finish, and it wouldn’t involve getting each participant to permanently swear off. And it would only last a week, so it would be measurable.
I use FB to keep in touch with my grandchildren who are across the country. I talk to the bread-making community. I keep in touch with my friends.
I understand Farcebook is useful. It’s actually a good product. But since its owners have declared war on conservatives, I’d recommend finding another channel for communication. Every click gives our enemies money. And money is power.
Better yet, do as I did and delete your entire Facebook account.
As a repeat offender sentenced to Facebook Jail for not towing the leftist party line, I'd like to come up with an effective method of striking back. I don't think a boycott will work because Facebook is worldwide. The best legal method (a DDOS attack would be effective, but illegal) might be to contact some DC blowhard. There are a lot of politicians who would like nothing more than to get their face on the tube and the publicity.
haha, too true. You’ve been in ‘FB Jail?’ You should be proud.
