Facebook Faces Major Backlash After NEW Revelation About Capitol Hill ‘Riot’ Plans!

Posted on 01/15/2021 6:31:50 AM PST by A.M. Smith

Some are calling for Facebook to be banned from the app store after a Washington Post report revealed that a great deal of the Capitol Hill riot was planned on Mark Zuckerberg’s platform.

According to the Post, “a growing body of evidence shows that Facebook played a much larger role” in the storming of the building than COO Sharyl Sandberg previously acknowledged.

Sandberg claimed that the events “were largely organized on platforms that don’t have our abilities to stop hate, don’t have our standards and don’t have our transparency.”

Be interesting to see whose accounts did the planning and what sort of planning.

“With their billions of users, zuck isn’t worried.”

Exactly. FB has no fear, and will do whatever the heck they want.

The kids are using other apps. FB is a dying platform by virtue of its elderly users.

Under Obama it was leaked that FB had established special private groups for Journalists, supporters of Obama admin policies. No doubt groups were meeting and discussing taking down Trump and his supporters. YOU had to be invited by FB official to these groups.

That is why the impeachment was held at warp speed. THEY knew that evidence would be coming out to show that ANITFA, BLM were behind the protests,

Wonder if the US Marshalls are investigating this? If so, they will get to the bottom of it.

I wonder how many of those billions are still breathing.

Have you noticed that many of your FB friends passed away years ago?

So, zuck interfered with the election which is treason.

And, he facilitated the riot blamed on Trump supporters.

You are correct. FB is also instagram and will attempt to buy whatever the kids are using.

That’s where to hit them - prevent them from buying new platfoms. Anti-trust plus a variety of free market apps.

Die FB, die.

The REAL question is why is the Washington Post even reporting this, given the reporting of the media for the past 5 years, not to mention the last 2 months?

I think the answer is that this Cultural Revolution is getting out of country and could EASILY swallow them up in the upcoming purge of opposition. They’re scared now, as it was supposed to end with Trump’s defeat.

This is fake news. Everyone knows it was done on Parler and what was not was done by Trump at the rally. /s

FB won’t be banned because of all the money it gives to democrats and because it is firmly committed to promoting leftist goals.

A House member needs to introduce a resolution to condemn Pelosi for sedition and treason and to set aside the Pelosi-driven impeachment based on false evidence pushed by the Dems.

First, so we can't be accused of acting before the evidence like them, let's see the evidence.

If talk of violence and rioting was present on Facebook, they were on protected leftist accounts.
