Fakebook is a private company and no one has any rights on their platform.

Yeah. But they’re growing large enough and ubiquitous enough that some are arguing that they should be treated like a public utility. There is some reason to that argument.

If enough conservatives abandon FB then eventually someone will create a platform for us.

I’d much prefer competition over regulation.

“its song “I Stand for the Flag.”

They’d probably be ok if it were “I Stand for the Fags”.

The lyrics promote the homosexual agenda.

This band and article are not what they are purported to be.

Would you please enlighten us with the facts? Or have we become like DU where you throw out a accusation or two and walk any? I sure did believe we were better than that, but now days I am not so sure.

I'd like to know, myself. I just now listened to all of the lyrics in the song. The *only* thing I could possibly take from them that might even "promote the homosexual agenda" was a line that said, "Don't care if you're black or white or who you love".
What is it, in the song, that "promotes a h-sexual agenda"?

I very much doubt we will get a reply. I gut tells me we are dealing with a shill or a provocateur.

I like you notice nothing in the words that promote anything other that the need to respect the Flag and what it stands for.

"Don't care if you're black or white or who you love"

Yep, that is it. That lyric was in the article itself.

They are mixing positive conservative lyrics with Sodomite lyrics to normalize homosexual behavior. It is a Trojan Horse.

If that is all it takes to promote the Homosexual agenda then all is lost. I guess we are all snowflakes now.

Someway, somehow, we HAVE to figure out how to defenestrate Facebook and Mark Zukerberg!

I agree that ideally, we’d have an alternative to FB that’s as robust as FB. I’m not sure that’s possible, to be honest. Nobody has the resources Zuckerberg has to create such a robust social network.

“Nobody has the resources Zuckerberg has to create such a robust social network.”

There was a time when Zuckerberg didn’t have those resources, either. Which is proof that you can’t build something until you start building it.
