Reuters ^ | 11 March 2022

Posted on 03/11/2022 7:04:40 AM PST by zeestephen

Russia opened a criminal case against Facebook's parent Meta Platforms on Friday and moved to designate it as an "extremist organisation" after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians in the context of the war with Ukraine.

Maybe we’ll have to hand Zuck over for peace.

A fair question: after of years of lying to us and demonizing us Big Tech, Big Government, Big Pharma now want us to trust them and support them. FU Facebook. I said this for long time and well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd think that Russia and China were behind the woke BS and lies that we have been subjected to. They have spies in Facebook, etc. who were sowing dissent by spreading hatred among Americans.

It would be perfect strategy to undermine the resolve that the American people will need if we do end up in a war.

You, Peter Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. Remember - the Russians installed Trump as President.

“If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d think that Russia and China were behind the woke BS and lies that we have been subjected to.”

I was told by a man who had worked in the US Intelligence community that Russian and Chinese money was pouring into the US to fund the riots of 2020. You need not be a conspiracy theorist to see why our enemies would do that.

That’s not a conspiracy theory. This stuff is clearly being pushed from abroad. When China makes comments like “America needs to get their racism problem settled”, they know what they are doing.

This is a reasonable action on Russia’s part. If calls for violence are forbidden, they should be forbidden directed at ANY people.

None of this 1984-Emmanual-Goldstein-15-Minutes-Of-Hate stuff.

Yup. More BS. Russian collusion brought to you by Democrats, the MSM, Facebook, the US government, ....

The same people and organizations that you appear to be defending.

A perfect strategy by the Democrats if they truly wanted America to fail in a time of crisis... demonize half of the American population and then expect them to be there when you need them. What are you a Russian bot?

Ironic isn’t it that China is in agreement with Democrats. Being sarcastic.

It might get interesting when Russia reviews Facebook postings from people applying for visas. Be funny if they find something like ‘death to Putin’, but then allow the visit, only to jail the person when he arrives.

good. I know it’s impossible, but it would be nice to see Zuckerberg sitting behind bars in Russia.

Absolutely. We are being played.

I wonder how many Democrats/Communists are complicit and know what they are doing?
