As Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress about the companys failure to protect users personal data, the social media monopoly is facing more charges of censoring conservative voices.
Aric Nesbitt, a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and state lottery commissioner, wanted to amplify his announcement for State Senate on Facebook, so he submitted it the way any candidate or company would. But the ad was quickly rejected because it doesnt follow our Advertising Policies. We dont allow ads that contain shocking, disrespectful or sensational content, including ads that depict violence or threats of violence, according to a message from the company.
What was the message? It read, in its entirety, Im proud to announce my candidacy for State Senate. Lansing needs conservative, West Michigan values, and as our next State Senator, I will work to strengthen our economy, limit government, lower our auto insurance rates, balance the budget, stop sanctuary cities, pay down government debt and be a Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment leader for the people.

The post was immediately met with a rejection message.

“...create a replacement for Fascist Book...”
How about Gracebook to replace Facebook?
Facebook is carrying pogroms like at Universities and liberal counties in Berkley. I believe if this was happening to liberals there would be plenty of lawyers arguing that Facebook calling itself a community is a public like institution and is violating civil rights
You can put pressure on Congress.
There is absolutely ***nothing** ( no matter how expensive the advertising) for keeping in contact with clients and building a following that is as effective as Facebook. Nothing!
If facebook helps organize political pogroms
in the virtual to be extended in the real, they should be thrown RICO charges
Fact is Zuckerberg knows his site is choke full of campaign related money laundering and he is seeking protection from the left by letting them doing their thing while he collects the washed drug money
I thought it funny that this idiot Zuckerberg was telling congress that it was “algorithms” that monitored Facebook postings but it was his very own “Facebook team” that deemed Diamond and Silk “unsafe”.
What is doing the censoring, Zuckerberg? Human “teams” or algorithms?
Artists and crafters did just fine prior to Facebook.
If their product is of quality it will sell.
If not, they will be poor like 99% of other artists.
Absolutely amazing that a man named Zuckerberg would tolerate something like that on his media creation.
You do have the option of not using Facebook.
I think it’s his staff - he doesn’t get down onto the barn floor where the hay is; he’s up in the loft.
.
Expect more of this!
We are in “Daniel’s 70th Sabbath.”
The prince of evil has been cast down to Earth and is setting the stage for his Tribulation of the Saints.
.
.
The Left has always been for everything they claim to be abainst.
.
I wish someone would!
Not just this but all the problems FB has displayed indicate that he has little awareness of what is going on and even less control of his staff. The buck stops with him.
What specific Facebook person made that determination?
What are Facebook's advertising policies?
Are they in writing?
Can I get a get a printed copy of those policies?
Can the policies be modified or changed in an unpredictable arbitrary and capricious manner?
I would support a suit against Facebook financially, for real and compensatory damages. I usually hate lawyers... Incredibly, there are a*****e snakes lower than lawyers.
[whine] Yeah, but without Facebook those artists wouldn’t be able to sell out of their homes and would have to put their goods in shops and galleries and that means having to leave home and drive place to place and make sales calls and God forbid if they found themselves outside of cell coverage they might even have to use a pay phone, if they could find one...[/whine]

In the next liberal democrat Administration Fakebook will be purchased by the Government and all US citizens will be required to register and account. All government services will be conducted via Fakebook. Social Security, IRS, Small Biz Admin, FHA, VA, etc. Zuck will be the gov. Czar overseeing this monster.
Within 4 years of Federal requirement, Fakebook registration will be mandatory for all State and Local Gov. interactions as well (pay taxes, water bills, professional licenses, etc.)
Hey, it’s possible.
Oh, the postal service will be dissolved because all correspondence will go through Fakebook.
UPS and FedEx will handle transactions that don’t happen on Fakebook.
Yes....and the fact that ZuckFace owns NINE of the top competing apps, to FakeButt tells you that FB is a freaking MONOPOLY!!!!!
SHUT IT DOWN!
MZ keeps asking for regulation ~ rather than shutting down/changing processes ~ because FB is actually a govt created monitoring entity that was coincidently turned over to MZ, to ‘start’ this as a private company....on the exact same day that the Govt program (DARPA) shut their program down!!!
Downright scary. But, NOT impossible :(
