Honestly, I had READ of such things, but I never thought they would do it to me. Now that they HAVE, many friends are describing similar censorship, such as erasing of posts, or not letting their friend “see” messages sent to them, that have happened to THEM! The “forbidden” website in question is of course www.codeisfreespeech.com
I disabled Facebook on my Android phone a few days ago. Sure, I can still get at it with a browser on my phone and home computer. But, oddly, when it’s not reminding me every 15 minutes that someone posted a picture of a meal or a pet it becomes an “out of sight, out of mind” sort of thing.
Except when I see threads about it here. :)
Why would anyone bother with Facebook? By continuing to use it you are supporting their censorship.
Anytime some service provider starts engaging in that sort of behavior I drop them like a hot potato.
For example, as soon as Netflix hired Obama I cancelled. There is no doubt what the future of that organization will be and I have no desire to stick around for the ride down the drain.
and you’re surprised???
I got an email earlier this week about the tag line for a monthly subscription service I have that is changing its tag to be less obtrusive for Facebook. They are changing from Survival + Tactical Gear, to Survival + Outdoors Gear. Apparently they were notified by Facebook that they would be censored. They are not changing the thrust of the service, but are changing the language to be able to escape the weak wristed pansies that cant take hard words like tactical. They assured that their mission will remain true, but the words are changing - for now.

The sensoring thing on social media has been going on for awhile. I closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts when I was shadow-banned on Twitter for posting bible verses on a pro-sodomite celebratory post by my favorite sports team. At that time, I also received death threats toward my wife and children that I reported to Twitter but the tweets were never taken down although mine were. I guess they thought I deserved it. I had one homosexual call me to scream at me at how much he hated me for my views. I was able to calm him down and give him the gospel of Jesus Christ. I don’t know how he got my phone number.
It IS possible to unplug. Not easy though. Surprisingly difficult in fact. For awhile anyway. I’m not always checking my phone to see how many “likes” I got on my tweet, so there is that. By the way, I had over 2,000 organic followers on Twitter because I posted sunset photos nearly every day. I don’t miss it now.
Create a new social media forum on your terms. Give them competition. Respect their right to run their own forum, no different than Jim’s right to run this one, and since you don’t like Facebook, go elsewhere. I dislike social media altogether, but my son, appalled by facebook’s tolerance of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel posts, started the following:

I responded to a Facebook rant about how stupid and evil it was for the Trump DOJ to allow anyone have let alone post 3D printable gun blueprints by pointing out that homemade zip gun technology has been readily available since the 1940s and posting a link to one of the hundreds of YouTube videos showing how to make one with a few dollars in parts available from any hardware store. I was immediately suspended from FaceBook.
They allowed a post yesterday where a female had lighter fluid sprayed on her and SET ON FIRE!! But no posts concerning legal firearms?
Duh! They are doing it to everyone.
FB sucks. They removed a pic of a dead hog and me holding it and my arms. I jumped through all the hoops and disabled my account. I used to enjoy Laz,Gunner,and Bracken’s posts.
