People were better off without Facebook. They can censor this all they want , the truth is out there and they are f&$@ed!
Twitter and Facebook need to be regulated like any public utility

Wow! I’d like to see the forensic data labs at Facebook & Twitter that could arrive at that conclusion without physical possession of the hard-drive of the Crackhead-son of the Crypt Keeper running for President.

Makes Pravda and TASS look like amateurs.
Look for pretty much all negative news on Sleepy Joe and company to be suppressed until after the election after which there will be no need to publish it anyway.
Did they apply the same standards to the Wikileaks revelations about the Iraq War?
Their Board of Directors needs to be charged with treason—interference in a Presidential election.
Will be biggest censorship FAIL since Gulag Archipelago.
Censoring you, me or Aunt Penny? Yeah, they can get away with that.
Censoring one of the nation’s largest newspapers? They may have bitten off more than they can chew here.
In addition, Republican Senators and other office-holders need to hold press conferences and just read the article out load.
Beat the censors!
We can do this!
Pravda = “Truth”
TASS = News agency
Russian joke: “No truth in TASS and no news in Pravda”
If Twitter and Facebook will go as far as throttle down or even hide articles from others that do not portray their preferred candidate in a good light. Who’s to say they do not throttle back paid advertisements from businesses in order to help keep the economy down as much as possible to help their preferred candidate?
