Obama Pressures Facebook to Censor News; Zuckerberg Complies and Crushes Trump on Facebook
americanthinker.com ^ | 3/5/2018 | Karin McQuillan

Facebook has caved to Democrat political pressure and is censoring newsfeeds on users’ pages, as Mark Zuckerberg explains, for their own good. The progressives at Facebook have gone nuclear.

We built Facebook to help people stay connected and bring us closer together with the people that matter to us. That's why we've always put friends and family at the core of the experience. Research shows that strengthening our relationships improves our well-being and happiness. But recently we've gotten feedback from our community that public content -- posts from businesses, brands and media -- is crowding out the personal moments that lead us to connect more with each other.

Well it is his site so if one signs up, one agrees to let them do whatever they want. If that means censoring your posts, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Mrs. rktman was upset about all the info they capture. I said, when you signed up, you basically agreed to let them so,........... Grandkids, friends etc. Not for me though.

Facebook asks users: should we allow men to ask children for sexual images?

MSN ^
Posted on 3/5/2018, 8:06:54 AM by MNDude

Facebook’s vice president of product, Guy Rosen, said the surveys were ‘a mistake’.

Facebook has admitted it was a “mistake” to ask users whether paedophiles requesting sexual pictures from children should be allowed on its website.

On Sunday, the social network ran a survey for some users asking how they thought the company should handle grooming behavior. “There are a wide range of topics and behaviors that appear on Facebook,” one question began. “In thinking about an ideal world where you could set Facebook’s policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual pictures.”

Free Speech, is a difficult and illusive phenomenon. Always being stormed by the rocks and meteorites hurled by communists, nazis, totalitarians and unfortunately, Democrats.

It is in more danger than the 2nd Amendment.

I love how the story frames it as “Obama pressures....Zuckerman caves.”

As if FB wasn’t already looking for an excuse to censor anything on the Right anywise.

You hit the nail on the head. But I doubt he’s doing this because of complaints. And I would think he’ll lose a lot of conservative customers over this policy.

I’ve always believed it’s government owned and operated anyway. Not near as any people wouldn’t volunteer all their personal info if they knew it was the government. And there’s no way it makes money.

Once it’s out there in the ether, it’s there forever. Well unless you’re the clintoons. Then things seem to evaporate.

Search for sites that offer instructions on how to leave Fascistbook.

First you delete all your photos and personal info. Then quit. Of course, your personal stuff in it is never really gone...
