Social Media can legally censor all day long because it is free enterprise and individuals can do what they want with their own companies. GOVERNMENT censorship is forbidden by the Constitution, not private censorship.
The LAST thein we want is MORE unconstitutional government regulations on our freedoms and free enterprise.
The answer of course is LESS government interference in the marketplace and MORE rich Patriot getting into competition with these guys and winning.
At this point anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, still using FB is knowingly aiding and abetting the destruction of the last shreds of the Republic.
No more excuses. Walk away.

3 times in a row..
I post a comment (the last one was “happy birthday buddy!”) I get a 30 day time out on facebutt.
facebutt clearly doesn’t want me there any more.
If they censor, they deserve no protections as a platform. They have become publishers and can be sued.
The also collude with the government to remove posts which disagree with the prevailing government propaganda push.
They are no longer “private companies “ and should be regulated.
I sometimes wish I was one of those other genders. Only males and females show up in death statistics. Apparently the other genders are all immortal.
I made a FB account for myself back in 2013.
It was interesting to hook up with people from high school and college I hadn’t heard from for years.
Within a few days of my first exposure to FB, some of my old “friends” were posting stuff on my “Wall” that I didn’t like, that I found offensive and disturbing. No need to go into specifics.
Also I discovered that most if not all of the people I had “lost touch with” had changed in ways that made me not want to be “in touch with” them at all. Or perhaps they didn’t change, but were just no longer suppressing their true selves as they had when we were growing up together.
Anyway, after a week or so I closed my account and never went back.
They are not private companies - they are just arms of the Deep State/Democrat Party.
...Facebook, it has become the primary communication system for many Americans.…

BTTT.
You are not a customer of Facebook. You are the product.
Welcome to the New American MARXIST Order. It only took the reds 100 years to undermine, subvert, distort, and take over American education , much of healthcare, most of Free Speech and other First Amendment “rights”, unhindered travel rights, subverting 2nd Amendment rights in the midst of rising MARXIST violence (plus the usual gang, drug, ethnic and organized crime / cartels crime), homeowner rights, etc.
Facebook is Fascistic,MARXIST and plain old authoritarianism all rolled up into one of America’s “greatest existential threats” to its very existence as the United States of America, not the United Socialist States (prisons) off America.
Oh they said that Hitler was good for Germany and that Staln was “the man for Russia”. How did that work out for human rights, freedom and humanity?
Uncle Adolph, Uncle Joe S. and now Uncle Joe B., now starring in “All in the Family, Part 2, The End of Freedom”.
As Uncle Obama truthfully said about “fundamentally changing America” - YES I DID. Mission Accomplished, Comrades!!!!.”
Precisely, but who will create/submit legislation to regulate them?
They wield too much power and have deep pockets to keep that from happening.
Through social media (not Facebook) I hooked up with a guy I hadn't seen since 1957. But I quickly found out that today isn't 1957 and his personality had changed in the intervening years, and not for the better.
This is the Farcebook Is Evil ping list.

You get it for free but the quality sucks. You have no say in how it works. The guy who runs it gets rich. There's no real competition. You have no privacy. And if you say one thing they don't like they'll shut you up. |

Wrong answer.
The feds are UNCONSTITUTIONALLY meddling with their enterprise and should be booted out of interfering with them.
The answer is certainly NO MORE unconstitutional federal interference with private enterprise.
Open competition without federal interference would weed out soon enough. We simply do not need MORE unconstitutional federal interference with free enterprise.
How can anyone on the Right be for MORE unconstitutional interference by the $4 trillion 80%+ unconstitutional federal government.
Argue for NO federal interference and open competition which will cure many of these ills.
I can't believe people around here still trust the feds for anything much at all except expansion and Marxist takeover.
