Facebook supporting Trump

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Facebook is here to stay and users are free to put whatever content they want on their page. It's an account profile that you feel free if you want to give your personal info to friends or dates.

I have no qualms about Facebook, I did in the past

[Flyersfan232]

Of course it is. We already know that Zuck fears Liz and Bernie, why wouldn't we automatically assume he will take a neutral approach to the fascist who wants to keep his taxes low?

Got no problem censoring Republicans warren won’t do anything to Facebook.

[Flyersfan232]

Ahahahahahahahahahahha

[Flyersfan232]

This is similar to how the Democrats cheered when they found out that Bush Sr and others were voting for Hillary because "Trump is such a monster for mean tweets and for being colorful in his criticisms of the establishment."

I cheer for Facebook, as corrupt and social justice friendly as they are, for joining in the fight against a socialist takeover of the United States, which would destroy the country and the economic livelihood of right-wingers and left-wingers alike.

I can’t wait for your next troll persona, this lolbertarian “Democrat” one is old already.

Also no one thinks Trump is a monster for mean tweets, we think he’s a monster because he’s probably a literal child rapist and definitely is an idiotic, authoritarian, sexually assaulting, bigoted, back-stabbing, corrupt, treasonous sack of s-t who spits on all that is good about America. That’s also why HW hated the SOB. I don’t have to agree with someone on everything to respect them as a decent human being, which HW was. Can’t say the same for Trump or any of the brainless marks he’s conned into worshipping him.

Anyone who is still standing by this motherf-ker after what he did to the Kurds is either a sociopath who is beyond all redemption, or thinks s-t like that is “just a joke trollol, why so triggered libs?” and therefore is so brain-dead that a lobotomy would have no effect.

Trump hosted secret White House meeting with Facebook CEO

President Trump hosted an undisclosed meeting at the White House with Mark Zuckerberg during the Facebook CEO’s most recent trip to Washington, according to NBC News.

The October meeting, which Facebook confirmed to The Hill, came during the same trip during which Zuckerberg testified before Congress about the platform's new cryptocurrency, Libra. Peter Thiel, a billionaire venture capitalist and Facebook board member, was also in attendance at the White House dinner, NBC News reported.

It remains unclear what was discussed during the meeting, which came at a time when Zuckerberg adamantly worked to defend Facebook's new policy exempting political ads from fact-checking. Zuckerberg gave a speech at Georgetown University standing by Facebook's commitment to free speech during his most recent visit.

How does dodging a point-blank question make him look good? Because I did that all the time when I broke something as a kid.

They gotta keep up their internal narrative that any Democrat is bad and anyone they're struggling with, for good or ill, is automatically in the right. And if they're in the right, they must of course look good because that means they really are in the right under this tortured circular logic.

Everybody else though has kind of had it with this nonsense.

Facebook censored a Project Lincoln ad that was critical of Trump.

Why Facebook Censored an Anti-Trump Ad

On May 4, a group of disaffected Republicans known as the Lincoln Project posted an ad on Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. Inspired by Ronald Reagan’s classic 1984 “Morning in America” ad, the Lincoln Project’s “Mourning in America” recited a litany of grim statistics with depressing images of pandemic America, laying the blame on President Trump. The president was not happy, attacking the ad that very evening.

A day later, Facebook labeled the ad “partly false,” rejected it as inappropriate, and dramatically depressed its circulation when users tried to share the video for free.

Facebook Refuses To Pull Trump Campaign Ad That Falsely Accuses Biden Of Corruption

A video ad that falsely accuses Joe Biden of withholding $1 billion in aid to Ukraine to benefit his son has been viewed on Facebook millions of times since its release last month by President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. Biden, who’s vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, has urged Facebook to take the ad down, arguing that it spreads “objectively false information” and “poisons the public discourse.”

But Facebook, which has come under scrutiny for its role in spreading misinformation during the 2016 presidential election, has reportedly refused to pull the video, citing its “fundamental belief in free expression” and “respect for the democratic process.”

Zuckerberg and Facebook aren't neutral - they are actively supporting the coward Donald Trump.

[Non Swing Voter]

I've noticed the Facebook/right wing trolls have lately been pretending Facebook censors democrats.  I guess this caters to the Republican base that makes up many of their most active users, but anyone with half a brain knows that Facebook is all in for Trump and conservatives.  It's not even debatable at this point.

[Inmate Trump]

Unless a sizable number of users delete their Facebook accounts in protest, it doesn't matter.

Good for Zuckerberg. It’s not facebook’s place to censor political adds. Amazing how the left gets offended by companies not deleting their opponents content. Also, the idea that Zuckerberg is trying to help Trump is just laughable. He’s just mature and intelligent enough to know better than opening the Pandora’s box of censorship when he runs that large of a platform. Jack Dorsey is not a bad guy but he just comes across as such a weak unstable person. Zuck clearly has thought through the implications of this. Kudos.

I have to admit I'm impressed with your ability to deny reality. Facebook did exactly what you are praising it for not doing - they censored a Project Lincoln ad that was critical of Trump.

Good. This is what you get when you say you're going to break up companies willy-nilly. Only a loon would expect them to go down without a fight.

Considering what a joke prosecution of antitrust laws have been in the last few decades, and further considering how concentrated the the economy increasingly is in only a few hands, seeking to break such companies up constitutes neither willy, nor nilly.

Facebook Account Copying Trump's Posts Word-for-Word Gets Flagged for Inciting Violenc

A Facebook account copying President Donald Trump's social media posts word-for-word was flagged this week for violating rules on "violence and incitement."

The warning was received yesterday by "Will they suspend me"—a profile conducting an experiment sharing Trump's updates verbatim to see how the platform responds. It uses the handle @suspendthepres on Twitter, where the test is also ongoing.

The notice forced the deletion of a post that remained untouched on the president's own page, containing the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." It warned that the account would face a 24-hour suspension if it broke the policies again.

What if Facebook Is the Real ‘Silent Majority’?

But what sticks out, when you dig in to the data, is just how dominant the Facebook right truly is. Pro-Trump political influencers have spent years building a well-oiled media machine that swarms around every major news story, creating a torrent of viral commentary that reliably drowns out both the mainstream media and the liberal opposition.

The result is a kind of parallel media universe that left-of-center Facebook users may never encounter, but that has been stunningly effective in shaping its own version of reality. Inside the right-wing Facebook bubble, President Trump’s response to Covid-19 has been strong and effective, Joe Biden is barely capable of forming sentences, and Black Lives Matter is a dangerous group of violent looters.

Mr. Trump and his supporters are betting that, despite being behind Mr. Biden in the polls, a “silent majority” will carry him to re-election. Donald Trump Jr., the president’s oldest and most online son, made that argument himself at the Republican National Convention this week. And while I’m not a political analyst, I know enough about the modern media landscape to know that looking at people’s revealed preferences — what they actually read, watch, and click on when nobody’s looking — is often a better indicator of how they’ll act than interviewing them at diners, or listening to what they’re willing to say out loud to a pollster.

The problem with that analysis is that Facebook is just showing how the Trumpers feel. There's still a lot of them out there and most of them use Facebook. It's just shining a brighter light on more of the crazies, and all the people who love him.

Facebook is a toxic cesspool of fake news (real fake news, not Trumps fake news) at this point, along with inaccurate info, bad and detrimental memes, and just overall gross terribleness. It truly serves no purpose anymore that something like IG does (if you wanna share photos)
