It seems the Zuck is doubling down on silencing thought crime, retroactively. Note this new one is for something posted in August. It seems there is no statute of limitations for conservatives.

Ordinarily I'm all for private entities such as this very forum having total control of their forums as 1A does not apply to private forums. However, at what point have certain private entities taken over the public common? Are we looking at privatization of control of 1A?

That looks like my brothers...lol

I freely admit that I brought it on by posting Rittenhouse memes knowing FB objections. However my contention is that certain platforms have crossed into the area of monopolizing the public common.

I never use my Facebook, I've had it for years, never will use it.
I tried deleting my account once but was unsuccessful.
What do I need to post on there in order to get kicked off for life?

Commies control all TV media
" all social media
" all newspapers
If they don't like what you say you're gone. They're really doubling down just before the election. It's still a free country though!

You're right and Congress is looking at breaking up some of these tech companies because of it.

Anti Trust Link

Not all heros wear capes

There are some really good Trapping, Hunting and Fishing forums on Facebook.

They don't need broken up, they need to be able to be sued.

Sued for what?

This

Why support these anti America communists ?

This is akin to the BLM/NFL deal , most don't agree with their behavior, but will not give something up. A national boycott for a day by all conservatives of Twitter and Facebook would open some eyes but most wouldn't want to be deprived. Sad but true.

The issue is that under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, content platforms are protected from liability for content written by a 3rd party. I.e you can't sue them (or at least your suit won't go anywhere). The intent of the provision was good, for example it would protect Paul from being sued for something a member wrote on T-man. However platforms like FB, YouTube and Twitter have taken great advantage of that protection to control content, while still technically protected because they're not creating the content.
There is growing momentum in the government to change Sec 230 and make platforms who censor content accountable. Even Biden and Pelosi have voiced support for it. Hopefully something will happen soon.

Sued for censorship. Simple enough.

Post something pro police. That's how/ why my buddy was banned from FB. Nobody reported to fb either. Fb just completely deleted him. He made another account for 2 reasons 1) To get all of his photos and 2) keep posting pro USA stuff

LOL that's not how it works.

You are my hero. I quit FarceBook 4 years ago prior to the 2016 election

Its not supporting as FB users do not pay for the service. It's as if a private entity built and created public parks. Good thing so far. In those parks they install soapboxes for anyone to climb up and speak.
Now fast forward and almost all other public parks are neglected, overgrown and more or less abandoned because the private entity bought out the other parks or otherwise caused their decline to the point that they control the public park market. Part of their success is due to the soapbox for public parks maker is part of the plan as well. Further the elected county parks board is all for it as that means they don't have to maintain county parks.

Now the private entity is controlling just who can use the soapbox but also who can use the so called public park while an election for the county park board is taking place.

It's as if Walmart after moving in and shutting down mom and pop small business starts segregating just who can buy groceries.
