    just like everywhere, moderators can be biased, when caught they are removed, Facebook is no exception

    but not sure this is a good example

    you want to see some real bias, look at the republican controlled Congress

    heck, the Trump admin is using personal email... say what?

    Perhaps you aren't aware how the platform works. These are moderated, they are algorithmically identified and directed as part of FB policy. So, difference animals. Interesting deflection strategy though....

    I told you the ferriners think better than our Alt Right, because they do believe Trump colluded with the Russians.

    yeah it does seem that the american empire, a la the Roman empire, has reached a level of political and social decadence where its underlying values and principles are lost in a sea of corruption, self indulgence, arrogance and "internal" focus.

    Naaahhhhh, its just coincidence masquerading as a lesson from history.

    So, to require stating publicly who you are is fascist? Who knew? "Fair contract terms" "Sites that derive advertising revenue or the benefits of masses of content provided by users should be forced to have fair contract terms and be prohibited from making false claims...

    The only (2) questions that I would like her to answer, One does she know who in Norway pays for all her "free" stuff? and (2) when will she become someone who contributes for someone else to get their "free" stuff ?

    I completely agree America is being torn apart with political and social decadence.

    and calling people SH's probably gets flagged by the algorithms for addl review....

    that and when you attack someone, they can report it, so it is then reviewed

    not every post is reviewed, just those flagged or brought to their attention

    I would suggest that they are. FB have spent a fortune trying to determine their content and modify it to reflect their ideology. We know, we have engineers from FB who have said as much. The AI looks for it, and either autonomously, or pushes to human evaluation for review.

    I do get a kick out of this behavior though. As a platform that started out objectifying the women on campus.....

    I've never heard anyone complain about having their posts deleted or being banned for criticizing America, men, white men, whites, hunters, the NRA, Christianity, conservative, the GOP or President Donald Trump. So if you're looking to be safe and popular, you must declare war on those things, in honor of, and service to, the worlds rot.

    Don't blame me for your lack of reading comprehension. The post likens Obama's actions to that of Stalin and Hitler what more would you like ?

    Now that you have been proven wrong ..did you have something material to say or are you going to continue on your way to the playground to stick head deep in the sandbox of denial.

    Not sure why you are bringing up Obama because you are already preaching to the choir.

    Pence is not even close to being aligned with the founding fathers. Pence "HATES" the main principle on which this nation was founded "respect for individual liberty". FULL STOP.

    Pence is a religious extremist (not much different that radical Islamists) who wants to force his religious belief on others through physical violence (Law) = and Islamist by definition.

    Good one. I am harder on Obama than the others because he knows better.

    I am not much surprised that the village idiot (Bush) probably does not even know (never mind understand) the main principles on which this nation was founded (respect for individual liberty and the powers of Gov't limited by consent of the Governed)

    Bush may have heard Franklins "those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temp security deserve neither liberty nor security" and "give me liberty or death" but ... was probably like a deer in the headlights.

    Hard to believe though that a Harvard educated constitutional scholar and civil rights activist was ignorant of the above.

    This is why when I heard him say " If we want increased security - we have to give a little" I got really mad. He said this in defense of the head of the NSA who lied to congress (felony) about spying on Americans (felony 2) and not only was not punished but kept his job.

    Obama was the one primarily responsible for arming and supporting the radical Islamists ( including Al Qaeda) an action which resulted in the death of 500,000 so far, the refugee crisis and the rise of the modern incarnation of ISIS.

    Obama was 100% Establishment - completely turned out by the dark side.

    This is called censorship. Use the rules against political points that your organization either doesn't favor or fears that there will be backlash from. Has little to do with facts- other than the fact that social media site are gaming things to suit their own purpose.

    I urge all those republicans outraged by the notion of censorship against them to visit reddit/r/The_Donald to see what real ideological censorship looks like.

    there goes fox news, inforwars, and the like.

    If only there already was one and trump could use it to challenge all the fake news. It would never occur to him he'd have to prove its a lie in open court and the accused could spill ALL their guts. Great plan that.
