Meta, the corporate parent of Facebook, has announced its plans to control the flow of information on the site where most voters get their news. You see, the public has to be protected from “misinformation” and the omniscient sages of Meta are just the folks to decude what is and isn’t worthy of being shared with the public. Nick Clegg, Meta’s “President, Global Affairs, offers these takeaways from a longer essay:
Takeaways
-Our approach to the 2022 US midterm elections is consistent with the policies and safeguards we had in place during the 2020 US presidential election.
-We have hundreds of people across more than 40 teams working on the midterms, and we spent approximately $5 billion globally on safety and security last year alone.
-We’re focused on preventing voter interference, connecting people with reliable information and providing industry-leading transparency for ads about social issues, elections and politics.
Never forget that Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, provided more than $400 million in 2020 to pay election officials and hype get out the vote measures in heavily Democrat areas.
Writing in the Western Journal via The Federalist Papers, Jack Davis notes:
[Clegg’s] post cites one side of the forces allegedly trying to disrupt an election by noting that Meta has “banned more than 270 white supremacist organizations, and removed 2.5 million pieces of content tied to organized hate globally on Facebook in the first quarter of 2022.”
No specific mention was made about Facebook banning content from left-wing groups or their activities.

Zuckerbucks will be provided one way or the other.
Zuckerberg net worth - $60 Billion.
Elon Musk net worth - $250 Billion
Maybe while the new R Congress is defunding the FBI and firing all the new IRS hires, they can defund the FEC as well since it is basically useless.
Remember when obammy met with the heads of the “social media”? They didn’t talk about what color to make the scroll bars. They talked about how they could promote the democrat party’s agenda.
They’re getting ready. The public turns its attention from vacation to more serious things right after Labor Day. The show trial for Jan 6 will resume. The fbi will recommend indictment for Trump. The media will take aim at Trump and his supporters. As always, it will be a dirty battle.
So sick of Facebook
I wish Musk would buy FB instead of Twitter
“...get out the vote...”
What language is that?
Whenever I see or hear that ungrammatical phrase the first thing that comes to mind is: voter fraud.
I'll bet you are. The last thing the regime wants is voters interfering with elections.
Yep, what this d-bag Dork Zuckerturd did last POTUS election was absolutely outrageous, I’ll never understand in a million years how what he did was legal.
He basically spent half a billion dollars to finance election fraud, to pay for mules to stuff ballot boxes with fake ballots. WHY isn’t he under arrest? Excuse me, but didn’t Obama throw Dinesh D’Souza in jail for merely donating too much to a candidate? Here Zuckerturd financed ELECTION FRAUD and nothing is done to him!
Miranda Devine seems to answer that question today in her latest article. The lefts rationale seems to be “Trump is the second coming of Hitler so anything that stops him is 100% OK” This is absolutely what is going on and why the fake 2020 election has been given a total pass.....

“No specific mention was made about Facebook banning content from left-wing groups or their activities.”
I’m a moderator of a Facebook group. It’s an open ended discussion group in which one can post almost about anything you want. It’s not narrowed down to just one subject. It’s an eclectic mix of things. Pics of nostalgic photos, pictures of flowers, news articles on celebrities, crime, food and recipes, fashion, funny memes, etc, and of course anything politics. Anything one wants. We have a huge mix of liberals and conservatives who post political stuff every day.
But it’s always the politically conservative posts that gets dinged by Facebook. Not all the time, but Conservative posts are the only ones getting “fact checked”, and/or removed, and the conservative posters are the ones who are getting suspended, put into “Facebook jail” (myself included) for their posts.
The liberals in the group on the other hand, they’re NEVER suspended for anything political, their posts are NEVER tagged with a fact check. Their political posts are NEVER removed by Facebook. No matter how misleading and false their posts are. No matter the source. CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, many other liberal groups, etc. Even memes from occupy democrats dont get touched.
When liberals do get suspended from Facebook, its for a non political reason such as making threats and/or very foul language.
The closer we get to election day, the more censorship of conservative posts I’m witnessing.
There is no greater form of misinformation, than that which censors one side pf the argument and provides for no censorship of the other. It is intentionally assisting the one side which the censor favors and approves of.
Not a good idea.
Musk will start his own social media company using x.xom, which he bought back a few years ago. If the Tweeter deal falls through as it probably will.
“the policies and safeguards we had in place during the 2020 US presidential election”
The GOPe did nothing

Heard on a recent Stephen Crowder podcast that Facebook will consider political ads that talk about inflation or recession as “misinformation” and those ads will be banned. This is flat out election interference by a fascist corporation doing th regime’s bidding under the guise of being a private corporation.
We’re playing a game where the referees are part of the opposig team.
Just another American billionaire elite trying to help turn this Republic into an ideal socialist country with them in charge and the rest of us kissing their feet.
Zuckerberg has let his money go to his head he has the same ego problem as Soros has POWER.
He’s not as smart as he thinks he is he can’t even save Meta it will be a penny stock when it’s over.
Never forget that Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, provided more than $400 million in 2020 to pay election officials and hype get out the vote measures in heavily Democrat areas.
It never ceases to amaze me that many Jews like Mark Zuckerberg so easily forget what unbridled socialism, they like to be called liberals as it sounds better, has done to them about eighty years ago when thousands of them were gassed and exterminated in concentration camps. In the mean and between time socialism has not changed for the better, if anything it has become more tyrannical as well as dictatorial. As the old saying goes, if you don’t learn from history you are condemned to repeat it, and I am afraid we are well on our way.
