I know, privately owned no 1A foul. However I'm on a 7 day restriction for Kyle Rittenhouse memes, some a few weeks old. They seem to be combing through right thinking commenters and restricting mainly conservative thought.
Were there other options it would not be so bad. However in the free market of ideas FB has the market cornered.

All these hunters, trappers, fishermen, and
good hard working conservative republicans
and other deplorable human beings are beginning
to realize that facebook isn't their friend.

To facebook,

users are just internet livestock from which
personal user data is harvested like milk
from a dairy cow.

When your usefulness has been used up
they will send you to the rendering company
for final elimination.

Happy Trails.

I think facebook buried them, and/or bought them out.

My signature line on my posts here on T-Man used to read - "Facebook"...A stupid place, for stupid people.

Never joined, and never will.

A colossal waste of time, IMO...But realize many love it, so who is right?....Time will tell.

They supposedly are not a press organization therefore they are technically not allowed to sensor free speech. That is why the President and Republicans are looking to change some of the laws causing them to loose certain things they are currently getting away with including they will be able to be sued.

By the way the other day I googled Sen Lindsey Grahm and the first 3 things that popped up were for donating to his opponent. It's all those communist x@#$% word not acceptable on T-Man.

FB is how our local organizations disseminate information to the public.

Got another issue. Youtube has changed how they do things. Yesterday I could open the app, click on subscriptions and be shown a list of all the channels I am subscribed to with a blue dot next to the channel if new content has been posted. I could click on any channel and see the new content and Playlist.
Today all that is gone. I can't find a list of my subscriptions anywhere on the app. Not even in my own profile/history page. To find new content I have to scroll through whatever the algorithm chooses to show me.
Needless to say I'm subscribed to mostly conservative channels and historical channels.

Makes one wonder.

I created a Facebook account a few year ago; can't remember why, I have never used it, never could figure out what is was useful for.
I tried to delete my account a couple of years ago but it didn't seem possible.
So, now you're telling me that maybe they will delete it for me if I post politically incorrect stuff? That might work great, and I'll have fun doing it. I just need to have someone show me how to post stuff on there.

Just for giggles watch some pro BLM videos the adds those people are getting are truly eye opening . Its no wonder they are stirred up . i can only imagine the targetted adds that you would get on Facebook if you were sympathetic to the cause . Every conservative should spend an eavening on youtube watching what the BLM folks are saying and the adds they are getting are more polarizing than you can imagine . The message is no longer equality and unity it is (YOU ARE OPPRESSED , YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO YOUR OPPRESSORS , RISE UP AND CRUSH THEM ) . The longer you watch their message the more radical and polarizing the adds get .

Facebook is privately owned. They can do what they want. There are some really good Trapping, Hunting and Fishing groups on there along with a really good Marketplace.

True, that's why its not a 1A foul. However when one person owns the only soap box or street corner for political speech we have the potential for trouble.

We need free market competition so a look into monopolies may apply. I don't know the answer but it is concerning.

Here's another thought, Walmart has to allow anyone to shop there regardless of political or any other persuasion.

Facebook is for keeping in touch with people you don't want to actually pick up the phone and talk to. What's the point?

Usually if you get censored it's because someone on your friends list flagged you. Time to weed your list.

All the social media companies are liberal/globalization orientated and eliminate conservative views as much as possible.
