FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP RULEBOOK RELEASED
Fox News ^ | 28 Dec. 2018 | Christopher Carborne

Posted on 12/29/2018 7:00:52 AM PST by WellyP

Facebook's massive, secret rulebook for policing speech reveals inconsistencies, gaps and biases... A Message from Yahoo Search

What is psoriatic arthritis? Look for symptoms, causes & more What is psoriatic arthritis? Look for symptoms, causes & more

The rulebook's details were revealed Thursday night thanks to a Facebook employee who leaked over 1,400 pages of the speech policing rulebook to the Times because he "feared that the company was exercising too much power, with too little oversight — and making too many mistakes."

To clarify, you can yell “FIRE” in a crowded theater.

But, you will have to face the consequences if there is not really a fire and people are “injured.”

etc.

We have to stop saying “you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater” because that is false.

In 2004 executives from Fox News’ parent corporation News Corp endorsed John Kerry for president. Saudis invested a long time ago in American MSM.

Fox hasn’t been “conservative” for a long time.

How queer, I scanned through the Fox News article but there was no hyperlink to read the full document.

Why not?

to whoever posted the “who cares” keyword,

(technologyreview)

The takeaway: This strips away any remaining pretense that Facebook is just a neutral publishing platform. Political judgments permeate every page of these guidelines.

So, a whistleblower leaks the document to the Times (the New York Times) and that liberal bastion of fake news releases it to the public? Huh? My math is working here.

>>But aside from a few exceptions, Free Speech means I get to say stuff even if you wish I wouldn’t.

Fakebook is not an American company (at least one exec ended his US citizenship the day before the stock went public) and is not a defender of rights as established in the US Constitution.

EUSSR and China and elsewhere have different notions of what you can and cannot say, “we” must play by those rules.

>>So when is Trump going to actually do something? If he can’t even protect his own supporters from being suppressed on the digital public square, how does he expect to win re-election?

In the most recent elections (midterms) one Republican’s own campaign ads were rejected.

I guess FEC laws mean nothing to them.

can Fakebook give a reason why they DO offer the bomb, knife, and gun emojis?

Platforms like Facebook want to be prrotected from lawsuits about content, yet want to censor content for political impact. They cannot have both.

>>Then Facebook moderators reportedly banned ...phrases like ‘looking for a good time tonight’.

Globalist socialists don’t like to see anyone having a good time.

The continued hunger for “something fun” will keep them returning to Fakebook to try to get that fix.

An xploitation filmmaker who made adults only films in the 60s said that hardcore films ruined his game. He could put enough in the trailer that men in the audience would believe “I may not see ‘it’ this week, but oh boy, next week I’ll see ‘it’ for sure.”

Two of the bullying/mocking can be found in praise/support.

Like so many, they just do what they want, make it up as they go, and throw up gibberish on a ream of paper and call it a “rulebook.”

The Facebook rules data was leaked in May of 2017...this is regurgitated old news(i.e. fake news).

Kids I know do not use Facebook. They think its for their grandparents. So FB will die off eventually. But don’t assume that will prevent those kids from being socialists. Many of the high school kids I deal with are full-blown “gimme gimme gimme” socialists. And that’s in a fairly prosperous otherwise Republican community.

I would look into antitrust laws in regards to Facebook, Twitter, and Google working together to control what is allowed on social media. Gas companies cannot collude to set the price of gasoline as that is their product, hence social media companies cannot collude to suppress certain types of speech as speech is their product.
