This was part of the reason Clinton was very confident she would win and the left is furious. The collusion/fix was in by “Big Tech”. They will have the attitude to not fail again in 2020.

No Trump supporter is going to be swayed by Democrat ads in the MSM that they don't watch anyway.Don't forget voters in the middle.

Sorry but when is the last time Fakebook or Shitter influenced you to do something? Fake “likes”! Fake mass hysterical masses created by 10 people. Sorry but social media has run its course IMO.

It would be suicide for FB to do that. Trump would pick a new social media platform and 80 million would follow him or MORE.
So let the Zuck do something.

Private companies can censure and ban all they want to. Free speech per the Constitution involves only government.

"This would be totally illegal. It would be a violation of free speech rights AND election interference." If face book can't run adds no-one should run adds. NO-ONE

Rallies draw in his supporters. Yes, the reporting helps, but there are many folks who don’t watch news at all. Many viewers just tune in to Housewives and America’s Got Talent.
Adds are for the inattentive “independents”.
Advertising works.

"Trump does need those venues."Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers! A vote is a vote no mater where it comes from.
Advertising Works!

Would all candidates lose their ads?
Would losing ads there hurt Trump, at this point?
Who here is part of active grassroots Trump campaigning?

demonstrably false political adds And who gets to decide which is true and which is false? They will simply deem anything pro-GOP as false and everything demoncraps squat out adjudged as true.

FB and Google and Twitter and others are utilities and need to be regulated as utilities. Amazon too.

The Trump campaign can send out mass texts. I once read that that is the goal of new technology. Facebook will be obsolete.

Businesses can be sued civilly and (though rarely) prosecuted for criminally violating civil rights.
Corporations Have Paid Out at Least $2.7 Billion in Civil-Rights and Labor Lawsuits Since 2000

Big Tech can be sued for systematically firing those who have religious and conservative political beliefs in their workplace AND systematically oppressing them on the platform.

Facebook has 2 billion members. One study said their throttling of conservative content, censorship of conservative members and injection of liberal political content into the stream swung the election by 1-2 points. That’s often the margin for victory.
They are so BIG that their corporate policies and systemic oppression of specific viewpoints DOES affect outcomes.
