Facebook to end special treatment for politicians after Trump ban - report
Reuters ^ | June 3, 2021

Posted on 06/03/2021 9:34:14 PM PDT by Coronal

Facebook is planning to end its policy that shields politicians from some content moderation rules, The Verge reported on Thursday, in what would be a major policy reversal for the world's largest social media network.

The reported change comes as Facebook is expected to announce its response to recommendations made by the company's independent oversight board when it ruled on the firm's suspension of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

A Facebook spokesman declined to comment on The Verge report.

Tech platforms have grappled in recent years with how to police world leaders and politicians who violate their guidelines. Facebook and Twitter have long held that politicians should be given greater latitude in their speech on platforms than ordinary users.

"who violate their guidelines"

Except that their guidelines are phony and intended only to censor and politicize free speech over their forum.

When President Trump is reinstated...
1. Divide the social media that used it for political favoritism. Plus remove any privileges.
2. Keep all blm, any and all terrorists, rioters off the streets.. in all states.. warn them 3 hrs before the next step..rubber bullets.. and if that isn’t enough,. The real tbing!.
3. Remove privileges from media.

For starters..
..

If you’re suggesting that Trump will be returned to the White House prior to 2024, how exactly is that going to happen? Details, please.

Anybody using Facebook just needs to stop.

It’s a farce of a company that steals your information and controls what you say on its platform.

There’s no reason to use it

Yeah. I suspect a number of them have no idea our First
Amendment exists.

Notice how they pull in people from outside our nation to
govern us.

That’s their agenda, front and center.

Corporations now have more control than politicians over free speech and distribution of information.

I don’t know that he WILL be.. but its possible. Right now we have a government that was not elected. It .. the corrupted giv.. was put there by corrupted governors and corrupted individuals.

If you are suggesting corruption can make their own rules ... where do they get fat right. No, it is not in the constitution.

We had an overthrow of our President snd an overthrow of our government. There should be serious prison time for such.. but there is a lack for holding others responsible

All those in that administration are enemies of freedom and enemies of our country.

Stealing an election does not give you the right to stay for 4 years.. and governors who ratified biden did not have the liberty to do so.

50 yrs ago they would be guilty of T... today they don’t have the will to

Again, how would it happen? There is no Constitutional path that will put him back there before 2024.

Was there a constitutional path for the dims to steal the election?

You go to the constitution... that works when all are working within the law.. since when did the dem party go by rules!!!

They do what they want to do.. does anyone cry constitution? Does anyone stop them?

They find the election went to Trump.. not biden.. you are satisfied to be the party that “goes by the book” and let millions more come into pur country.. see your gas prices go UP.. watch the country sink and china gets the idea we are weak and attacks.

You ok with all that as long as you did what the constitution said.

Well..im not! I would fight and do whatever it took to save our country.

Preparing the table for 2022. Any Republican looking like he/she could win will end up having their FB and Twitter ads and post blocked or their accounts suspended. They got away with it with PDJT and they are now going to go full fascist.
