Nigel Farage Grills Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook Censorship, Demands Transparency.....
breitbart ^ | 5/22/2018 | Allum Bokhari

Nigel Farage put Mark Zuckerberg on blast during the Facebook CEO’s testimony to the European Parliament, accusing him of “willful discrimination” against conservatives on the platform, and positing the creation of a “Social Media Bill of Rights” to protect free speech.

“Perhaps you’re horrified by this creation of yours and what it’s led to, I don’t know. But what is absolutely true is that since January of this year, you’ve changed your modus operandi, you’ve changed your algorithms, and it has led directly to a very substantial drop in views and engagements for those who have got right-of-center political opinions.”

“I am not talking here, Mr. Zuckerberg, about extremism. I am not talking about encouraging violence. I am not talking about hatred of anybody. I’m talking about people who have majority, mainstream opinions … and frankly, I feel, they are being wilfully discriminated against.”

“What interests me is who decides what is acceptable? Who are these people you referred to earlier, these third-party fact checkers, who are these people? Why is there no transparency in this process at all?”

“I’m not generally somebody who calls for legislation on the international stage, but I’m beginning to wonder whether we need a social media bill of rights to basically protect free speech. I’m asking you today, very, very clearly that would you accept today that Facebook is not a platform for all ideas that is operated impartially?”

And so-called Net Neutrality was going to do NOTHING about that. It was only to protect the bandwith use of Facebook, Netflix, Youtube, et al.

Facebook and Youtube can ban and downthrottle and demonetize YOUR content all they want.

who decides what is acceptable?

The EU/Obama types.

Zuck's one of them.

Zucky must have gone to acting school. Lip biting to feign sincerity. Haircut. Suit and tie. Looking down. What a phony fraud.

Long overdue. Conservatives need to pound this issue continually.

For what, the 25th time - or more? I kinda lost count. "I'm sorry -we'll do better" - and yet the spying continues. Nobody wants to really shut him down - Facebook is an unofficial intelligence asset, and everybody wants access if not control of it.
