    I was going to criticize calling FB fascist, but your post is even worse. You could call it paranoia if there weren't actual cases of bias and silencing those with right leaning views. Were you not aware of the "Free speech zones" on college campuses?

    Anyway, Facebook has investigated themselves and have determined that they are fair and balanced!

    Very simple. Only they know what is on their minds. When society makes it known that revealing these thoughts makes you an abomination, you keep these thoughts to yourself and just go with the program. Society no longer does that here in the US. Are there fewer gays in countries that throw them off buildings!

    I'm sure it will contain at least one token flag humper.

    We are only guessing at how many people choose go be gay

    But the survey did not brand people who admitted to be homosexuals

    And in each new generation more homosexuals were counted

    Again, that points to homosexuality as a choice people make

    Nice dodge. There are plenty of opinion shows on both sides selling what their audience wants. That has nothing to do with the fact that first amendment rights have been violated. That means that this is not paranoia as you claim.

    Not even close. Only they know for sure. The few gay people I know say that they always knew.

    What dodge ? What “fact” ? You haven’t advanced any facts and the administration you blindly support is totally bereft of facts. Most Republicans as well.

    Twitter is obviously racist and hates Latinos.

    Funny that you call me a blind supporter when I am not a supporter at all. I do not agree with much of what the right is pushing, but thats no excuse for silencing them. I gave you facts and you took the goal post and ran all the way to Hannity, etc.

    Lets not pretend that there have been no attempts to silence people due to their political beliefs.

    What “facts” have you advanced ?

    No need to pretend anything. How successful have these attempts been ? We’re they in violation of any law ?

    So you admit there have been attempts? That means that the concern is reasonable and not paranoia, as you claimed earlier.

    Splitting hairs now ? Ok then, no i do not admit there have been attempts. Prove your assumption with facts. Your concern is not reasonable.

    We all know how this goes as Far Left elements like SPLC are used to shut down Conservative views.

    Yes and the concern is more than reasonable given the facts. The same campus that had students and faculty protesting Trump with tents, banners, and bullhorns, threatened a student with removal for passing out copies of the constitution outside of the "free speech zone". The concern we are discussing is reasonable and not paranoia, as you claimed earlier.

    I am surprised you were not aware of these cases.

    You couldn't refute my claim, so you changed it. You can google free speech on campus if you want to know more. As of now, I have more than justified the concern mentioned in this thread and you are wrong about it being paranoia.

    I disagree with the right on many issues, but I would never allow them to be silenced.

    You never established your claim, so there is nothing to refute. One incident is not cause for concern.
    This reminds me of the right wing hysteria about “millions” of fraudulent votes being cast. After all was said and done, no significant number was ever produced or proven.
