But what about all the in depth investigation?

Ignore the FakeNews media and the BigTech Censorship! - Do your own research.

Pedo Panic

Quit anon 😉

best guess on Zuckerberg's next Mea Culpa photo op?

This is faaar to late! the damage of that cancer is allready done,like accepting Antisemitism as an 'opinion'

WITH LITTLE DOUBT, Q IS A rUSSIANtROLL...

Seems to me, Facebook is directly interfering in US politics in such a ban, and in doing so show themselves to be a threat to national security. This is as bad, as a foreign nation interfering in our politics. IMHO

Doh!

If everyone wants to ban it then it must be true. Censorship doesn't work.

Now stop accepting political advertising and allowing links to other websites.

It was WAY PAST time. WHY did it take facebook so long?

Whew, so when we throw the FEW in the jail all the rest will surrender ? Swell.

Well lets hope they stop them hijacking Save the Children while they are at it

Repeal section 230. Regardless of how stupid or ridiculous Q-Anon is, Facebook is now editing public discourse & should not be treated as a neutral public square or social media platform. They are content editors/publishers who determine what they’ll allow based on their politics

Oh, just now? After all the harm done? Are you worried your buddy might lose Mark? Afraid of the incoming regulations? GOOD! DeleteFacebook

I don't know how this helps. They will just migrate to more obscure right wing fringe sites where their nonsense goes on unchecked. If it's out and monitored you can moderate. You bury them. They find a new place to hide. You only move the issue you don't delete the issue

So if it is nonsense and stupid why ban groups and pages?

gop effluent cant handle reality so they have to make up fairy stories, cowardly traitors, domestic terrorists, the enemy

Are they banning BLM and ANTIFA? Just asking

does that include Facebook banning itself for stirring up divisions
