Wow. Mark Zuckerberg: “We will start soon labeling some of the content we leave up because it is deemed newsworthy.”

This is a big, big reversal for Facebook.

Another big deal: Facebook spokesperson tells me new policies prohibiting hateful ads targeted at specific groups (based on race, religion, etc) will also apply to politicians.

So there go all Trump ads, since they will say the ads are racist just ‘cause.

I bet that “hateful” means “conservative” to social media giants.

Any takers?

[arthurus]

Hateful ads includes all Conservative content, I’m sure. I expect there will be NO conservative, even Trump, presence on twitter, facebook and maybe even on google. One might search Donald Trump and find nothing about the President which would be worse than finding only scurrilous libel.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

None dare call it censorship.

Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

Who’s using Facebook anyway?

In theory they would tell you that it's a blanket policy. In practice it will be a one-way street.

[Maudeen]

It’s time to move on from Facebook. . .but what do I know, I don’t use it.

[PermaRag]

Something doesn’t quite add up here. From Briefing.com:

“Verizon (VZ 53.16, -1.12, -2.1%) and Unilever (UN 54.75, -0.09, -0.2%) have joined the growing list of companies suspending their ad spending from Facebook and other platforms.”

Why would far-left virtue-signaling companies leave Facebook over Facebook’s new Republicans-need-not-apply advertising policy?

. The new policy will also ban negative ads about immigrants or asylum seekers.

I avoid Facebook like I avoid rap music award shows.

Very nice indirect advertisement for parler.com

[SgtHooper]

This is one last “HAIL MARY” pass by social media to prevent Trump from winning! When he does, he will collapse these sumbitches into smaller entities which can be held accountable for their crap!

[upchuck]

Why not user parler.com where there aren't all these silly rules?

This is the Facebook Is Evil ping list.

Ads for vanilla ice cream, which is White, are obviously racist and must be taken down.

[Arcadian Empire]

I presume that ads about the invasion of The West by hordes of homicidal savages are OK.

[a fool in paradise]

Fakebook wouldn’t ban the racist rapper over his beatdown video of the Macy’s clerk.

[silverleaf]

So they can’t call Republicans ‘ nazis’” and “ white supremacist” and racist”?
Good
Ban the F word and the left has no platform
