Can’t wait for the next new social media paradigm to tank farcebook into digital history. And it will come, as sure as the sun will rise.

It’s hard to deny that the internet is largely controlled by Leftists. If they decide that certain conservative content is banned, then it’s banned. Their is no recourse. The banning rate will increase exponentially leading up to the election, while fake news will increase.
