Remember back in 1968, when fear of government control to stop violence on TV and movies lead to the movie industry saying they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings code?

They then refilmed scenes to add more blood, guts, violence and explicit sex to get the coveted “R” rating.

Will FB do the same?

“From my perspective...... FACEBOOK JAIL AGAIN!!
Another 30 days of prohibition on my talking. Commenting on someone’s communication with me on my page is done for a month!…”

Why would you give that group of “woke” leftists, many of them foreign, that power over you? How important is this Facebook thing? It means absolutely nothing, zero, nada, to me, but many live by it. Perhaps I missed something. I’m good with that.

For better or worse Facebook is here to stay.

LOL! What nonsense.

Does Facebook interfear with the communication?

It does if you are a conservative, or even discussing an issue from a conservative or biblical viewpoint.

For example, In a discussion on homosexuality if you point out that prior to 1973 homosexuality was seen as a mental disease and was delisted ONLY due to political maneuverings by a known homosexual (Which is a known fact) you will likely be sent to the gulag. Been there, done that.

For example, In a discussion on islam if you point out that moselms are COMMANDED by their scriptures to kill or enslave all non-moslems (which is a known fact) you will be sent to the gulag. Been there, Done that.

For example if you point out that God created man and woman and that they are different and not interchangeable (that is, if you are born a man you will always be a man no matter how much you mutilate yourself) you will be sent to the gulag. Been there. Done that.

Such simple things as pointing out that abortion kills a human being, or that Obama was not eligible to be president, or that homosexuals molest at a far greater rate than normal people, Or even just calling normal people normal people (implying that homosexuals are abnormal) can get you sent to the gulag.

Pointing out that various "people of color" who were shot and killed by police were in the process of assaulting those same police can get you sent to the gulag. Pointing out that certain cultural minorities have far greater rates of incarceration because they commit far greater numbers of crimes can get you sent to the gulag.

I could go on and on. I don't even remember all the various "crimes" I was sent to the gulag for. The common points between all those "crimes" however is that I was speaking provable truth and that I was a conservative.

Basically supporting any conservative point, regardless of how much evidence you provide to prove that point, can get you sent to the gulag.

Responding back to any liberal with any remark that is more confrontational than "have a nice day" even when they have been calling you a "racist white murderer of black people and homosexuals" and that "your parents should have been gang raped and killed before you were born" can get you sent to the gulag.

(Please note that the gulag trip may be delayed by months or years. Like others here I was punished for posts made well in the past)

Facebook must be regulated as a public utility. They censor conservative speech constantly.

look how well “self-regulation” worked out for Boeing: undocumented software flew two of their latest aircraft right into the ground, fully loaded with passengers ...

Interesting comment.......why use Facebook???

I guess it's because it's become a gathering place for people to make friends and have conversations with people from all over the world who mostly have similar interests and backgrounds. People not only share their friendship but discuss events going on in the world.

That's where the problem comes in. The rulers of the media platforms spy on everything you write or share and manipulate it to lessen it's spread to people who don't know better. They are NWO socialists and that's their agenda.
