Goodbye Facebook - leave it for the sheep

Misinformation or truth not wanted in the public domain? 🧐🤔

Got to silence anyone who isn't going along with the techno-communist pedo agenda. Facebook is not a saintly organisation. They can pretend otherwise, but just because they have the power to manipulate and edit common perception, it doesn't make then right (or honest).

Misinformation, you lot are taking the f****** piss! I've been fed bulshit all my life from the MSM, and government's. Remind me again, did we find WMD's in Iraq? Who killed David Kelly? EpsteinDidntKillHimself so basically only believe what the government and the MSM tell you

must be getting worried about losing their Facebook and IG accounts now.

Good, they are radicalizing and dementing people. Its a dangerous cult

All of this just as the President is authorizing the declassification of all documents that will coincidentally prove QAnon was right about the RussiaHoax

Def delete Facebook ✅

Boring, they are scared of facts coming out

Let’s ban Facebook instead

Oh please they are banning them because they can explain to the normies what is going on and therefore the media is not required!

Yes, invent the words “conspiracy theorist” to dismiss and reject anything that does not support the perception of authority as honest and on our side. It was created to make anything sound incorrect without giving it any thought - because if peoples did theyd find the truth

When are they banning you then?
