On Saturday, The Hill reported that Facebook, the social media giant appropriately named the “world’s most dangerous censor,” slapped evangelist Franklin Graham with a 24-hour ban over a 2016 post about North Carolina’s so-called “bathroom” bill.

According to The Hill:

The (Facebook) spokesperson said that Graham was mistakenly banned from the site due to the contents of a post he shared in 2016 for violating a company policy banning “dehumanizing language” and excluding people based on factors like sexual orientation and race...

We certainly are, and people must realize that these Secular Humanists are evil and will show us no mercy. I’m not exaggerating.

Approbation from a 2016 post....

hmmm...

[Tax-chick]

Was he banned for 24 hours in 2016, at the time of the post in question? Or was he banned for 24 hours in 2018 on account of a post in 2016?

And who thinks 24 hours without Facebook is a harm?

[beelzepug]

Just another one of the many reasons I have nothing to do with Facebook. Too many people know too much about me already.

[stars & stripes forever]

He banned for 24 hours in 2018 on account of a post in 2016.

[Secret Agent Man]

Late 2018 ban for a 2016 post.

Maybe the company that runs facistbooks hardware servers needs to start punishing facistbook.

maybe the rental company that owns the area where facistbook server farms needs to start punishing facistbook.

[Tax-chick]

Thank you for clarifying. That makes no sense at all, but neither does Facebook, so whatever. I hope Mr. Graham didn’t suffer too much during his Facebook-free day.

GRAHAM discussed the ban on his FACEBOOK PAGE...

Well, now we know. Facebook has a secret rulebook for policing speech. I was banned from posting on Facebook last week for 24 hours. Why? Because of a post from back in 2016 about North Carolina’s House Bill 2 (the bathroom bill). Facebook said the post went against their “community standards on hate speech.” Facebook is trying to define truth. There was a character in a movie a few years back who said, “The truth is what I say it is!” That’s what Facebook is trying to do. They’re making the rules and changing the rules. Truth is truth. God made the rules and His Word is truth. Actually, Facebook is censoring free speech. The free exchange of ideas is part of our country’s DNA.

Why would a Christian post on fatebook? Why would anybody? They suck all your information and sell it. The CIA tool who claims to have written the code for it is making billions.

[Rebelbase]

No social media here. I can read twitter if I want and facebook if it’s not a private page.

I can understand business use to get info to one’s customers but on a personal level I don’t understand the need for the average joe to participate other than vanity.

Stole his business idea

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend

Secretly sold users’ data

Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".

Married in the community property state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.

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”.

Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.

De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.

Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so “my users can check their balances on my site."

Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".

Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of, an effort requiring 300 seperate lawsuits against local Hawaiian land claimants.

Established a "trustworthiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.

Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.

Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.

For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.

Proposed installation in the homes of FB users special Facebook cameras that would follow and monitor users around as they went about their private lives inside their homes. But the cameras, Zuckerberg assured, would come with privacy settings which Facebook would, like, totally respect, or something.

Asked for user telephone numbers for 2 factor authentication but within weeks used that data for marketing purposes. If users chose to share their entire contact list, Facebook also shared that data with advertisers, even phone numbers of people who NEVER had a facebook account! After the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB pleged to reinvigorate user privacy but neither of these practices has stopped.

In the runup to the 2018 midterm elections, FB removed over 800 conservative political pages and accounts in a clamp down on what the social media company arbitrarily termed, “inauthentic behavior”. The ambitious political move affected 66 million FB users, most of them Conservative.

Permitted the search term "white genocide" to be used as a targeting criterion to aim advertising for products at 170,000 users who interacted with that subject.

When at their SF HQ in 2016 FB employees replaced a mural slogal, "Black Lives Matter" with the words, "All Lives Matter", Zuck retured the slogan to its original and reprimanded the employees as "malicious and disrespectful".

In South Sudan in late Nov. 2018, Facebook permitted the auctioning of a CHILD BRIDE, age 16. The girl was sold for 500 cows, 3 cars and $10,000 and went into hiding. Five men, including some "high-ranking government officials," bid on the girl, according to Children's rights organization Plan International. At the same time it was revealed that Mexican child molesters had been using Facebook's Messenger app to collude regarding available kids and ongoing grooming prospects.

If you want to preach to the choir, you post on FR.

If you want to try reaching people you haven’t connected to before, you have to go to places like facebook, twitter, etc.

“Why would a Christian post on fatebook?”

Because I have a nephew that needs to be evangelized and it is the only way I can contact him. We are called to in the world but not of the world. We must interact with the world. Self-righteous indignation is the province of Satan.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23
19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself
a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

[Tax-chick]

As they say, “If it’s free, then you’re the product.” Anyone who is paying attention to the ongoing information about what Facebook is selling knows they’re selling the user.

[crusty old prospector]

Bless you.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Someone needs to find a Post on FB that is libelous and sue them as a “publisher.” They’ll argue they’re just a platform, however, the plaintiff can argue they control content and therefore are legally responsible for anything posted there. They’ll have to stop censoring posts if they want to retain their immunity

[fella]

Going back years to attack a person for a posting is just pure evil. Having been zapped a couple of times by Facebook you are not given any 6th amendment rights or chance to their protest their actions. Just a summery execution of punishment. Even a drumhead court is better.

[fella]

MeWE is looking much better.
