It is rich to see the US State Department spokesman condemn Russia for its "assault on access to information" in regards to Facebook and Instagram.

For years now Facebook and Instagram have been waging an "assault on access to information" around the world when it comes to Donald Trump and COVID and the list goes on.

What goes around comes around for Meta...

Sometimes I love Putin. He’d have never allowed that pretend woman swimmer.

Sounds like a Zuckerberg “private business” problem, not a State Department problem.

Well, the Russians are right on this one.

Why is it a “human right” to enter your personal information in a CIA database?

“US State Department condemns Russia’s decision to recognize Meta as extremist organization”

Sad that it takes the Russians to SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, but regardless, Facebook is a FAR BIGGER threat to me and my family that Russia has ever been.

He'd have had some of the Spetsnaz boys give the pretend woman swimmer a free helicopter ride...

The great and mighty poohbahs of Meta should realize that Putin defines “cancel” differently than they do.

I wonder what will happen to Facebook employees, particular those higher up, if they happen to land in Moscow, or any other country friendly with Russia.

Big Business in the West is Culturally Communist.

The heroes of the CEO’s are Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou and the list goes on.

As POTUS one of my first actions would be sanctions on Zuckerberg and his new right-hand former British politician Nick Clegg.

People like them should be on some list like the no-fly and Mr. Clegg being the citizen of another country why not freeze his bank accounts for suppressing free speech.

If it’s good enough for Carrie Lam top Chicom in Hong Kong it’s good enough for Clegg.

Just another reason why I do not trust anything that comes out of our own “government”.

Joke?
Are there the same Dementia Joe crazies who actively worked with Twitter to ban the New York Post for tell the truth about the sleaze on Hunter Biden's laptop?
Meta should be banned by every freedoms loving country.

How much is Putin paying you? Only asking because that MUST be the case, if you’re agreeing with Russia. Well, at least according to some here.
