When an ordinary account gets banned on Facebook, it’s possible that no human was ever involved in the decision. Not so for Alex Jones and Infowars. According to the New York Times, the order to ban the radio host came from the very top. Citing sources from inside Facebook, The New York Times reported on the process that led to Jones’ suspension.
The situation was volatile enough that Mr. Zuckerberg got personally engaged, according to two people involved in Facebook’s handling of the accounts. He discussed Infowars at length with other executives, and mused privately about whether Mr. Jones — who once called Mr. Zuckerberg a “genetic-engineered psychopath” in a video — was purposefully trying to get kicked off the platform to gain attention, they said.
Mr. Zuckerberg, an engineer by training and temperament, has always preferred narrow process decisions to broad, subjective judgments. His evaluation of Infowars took the form of a series of technical policy questions. They included whether the mass-reporting of Infowars posts constituted coordinated “brigading,” a tactic common in online harassment campaigns. Executives also debated whether Mr. Jones should receive a “strike” for each post containing hate speech (which would lead to removing his pages as well as the individual posts) or a single, collective strike (which would remove the posts, but leave his pages up).
The article goes on to highlight that Zuckerberg took his decision to Apple, which was the first major tech platform to enact mass censorship against Infowars. Following the lead of Tim Cook’s company, who earlier this year publicly trash-talked both Facebook and Zuckerberg personally, would be a humiliation for Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg is a threat to National security suppressing conservatives in support of Democrats.
So when does Zuckerturd come out with a statement letting conservatives know they’re not welcome on his website?
Jones can’t buy publicity like this.
He should have been in prison years ago.
I think a new federal tax needs to be employed.
FB needs to be regulated as a pubic utility too.
Liberals love regulations and taxes, so use them to destroy the little creeps.
I’m sure Zuckerberg has extracted all the money he could ever want out of Facebook, but I would still like to see its stock plummet out of the market.
Why do conservatives even have accounts on that thing? It’s a completely unnecessary website.
It’s his right, but the government has to scrupulously avoid even the appearance of aiding or abetting such conduct.
“So when does Zuckerturd come out with a statement letting conservatives know they’re not welcome on his website?”
He already has dozens and dozens of times. The question is when are conservatives going to start believing him?

Very DANGEROUS letting these rubber headed freaks have so much power. They need to be stopped.
Alex Jones once called Zuckerberg a “genetically-engineered psychopath” ......
ROTFLOL........perfect descrpton.
There’s no software it’s just a Zuckerberg

If Facebook misrepresented itself to advertisers so that it could charge more for ads despite shrinking traffic that could be a criminal offense.

ITEM-—Facebook losing four billion accounts could be evidence of financial wrongdoing.
The SEC should be advised that FACEBOOK apparently mislead investors.
CONTACT enforcement @SEC.gov
Investors should be mailing their FACEBOOK Annual Reports to their attorneys as we type.
The SEC prosecutes when publicly-held companies falsify Annual Reports.
Although I know Jones is a test case for the rest of us, he will make ten times the money being on his own.
Four billion.......the number of monthly page visits Facebook has shed in a slow-drip but nevertheless huge decline over the last two years...
<><> Did Facebook notify its advertisers?
<><> Did Facebook adjust charges for ads due to fewer “eyes” for ads?
<><> Did Facebook notify its investors?
<><> Did Facebook downsize financial projections b/c of shrinking traffic?
<><>Secretly sold users’ data
<><>Requested nude photos of users to “protect them against the risk of revenge porn”
<><> Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data “so I can help cure diseases”
<><> And the latest———requesting banks give him your financial data....including transactions, so “you can check your balance on his site.”
Old FReepers yelling at clouds completely fail to comprehend the power of modern social media.
Mark Goebbels Zuckerberg
So... For each of those Democrat political causes, who spread more “hate” than Alex ever has, Zuckerburg should be forced to file the cost of supporting those Democrats as an “in kind” political donation...
