>>State officials disputed the assertion they “urg[ed]” Facebook to take down the posts.
Nutin’k to zee here!!! Nein! Ve didn’t do it!
There is a certain strain of “principled conservatives” who are fine with FB & Twitter censoring any material that isn’t sanctioned by the left. With friends like this, who needs enemies?
This is the society we will have if we continue to live in fear.
If there are any Fearpers left on Free Republic, please go sign up at DU and leave this forum now.
The reality is that Facebook is a private company, and can set whatever terms it chooses. Knowing that it leans to the left should be a sign that it shouldn’t be trusted to assist on organizing conservative activities.
Agreed.
With regard to organization, there’s always a way around any obstacle. All people have to do is find it.
This is WHO is lying to you on Facebook

They get smoked out every time there is a sizable crisis.
Facebook was born as a collusion with Deep state Intel—and has never chenged from that.
One thing I did learn -
Go to your Facebook settings, then go to blocking.
Type in ‘Fact’ in the blocking search. You’ll find 30-40 “fact checking” accounts.
Block all of the fact checkers and you won’t get those annoying overlays warning the reader that some fact checker saus the content is not true.
There doesn’t have to be some secret cabal, or a supreme dictate from on high for leftists to do what they do. What guides them is their ideology. It was William Shirer or John Toland, I can’t remember which, that described the Nazi party in this fashion. Heinrich Himmler didn’t need direct orders from Hitler to run the concentration camps.
There are ideals that the left wants established, so any leftist in.good standing, or wanting to be in good standing, will, without instruction, perform the necessary deeds towards that ideology ( towards the fuhrer).
It’s a fascist relationship so mature that no coordination is needed. Fakebook knows what government wants and they execute, knowing government will scratch their back without hesitation when needed.
It’s similar to Al Qeida. Local nut moslems don’t need instructions on a shortwave from osamas cave to know he’s happy for them to shoot up a nightclub
Yeah sure... private lol
Farcebook tagged the video that’s all over YouTube about COVID-19 from the Epoch Times, when I tried to post, as factually incorrect, and they even went so far as to not let it published publically. I’m going to post it again, but this time to just my friends and family, see what happens.
Well, don’t you remember when FaceBook also blocked all those ANTIFA posts urging people to meet in Berkeley and Portland and Seattle? And also those so-called “flash-mobs” back East?
You don’t remember? It’s because IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!
We all have reason to complain about Facebook, but compared to the overwhelming mind-control propaganda that floods Twitter, it’s a minor irritation.
Tacit collusion, or conscious parallelism, is also against Antitrust Law. Facebook, a common carrier with patent/copyright protection from the U.S. government, is not exactly a private company, nor is CNN.
“Every puppy has his day, everybody has to pay,...”
Facebook is a subversive enemy of the Republic.
The site is infested with these closet authoritarians. Pretty much always has been. I recall the discussions back when the 'patriot' act was passed. It was pretty similar, and had many of the same usual suspects cheering on the police state.
