    Democrats got issues with free speech on the Internet.

    American Democrats see the control the Chinese Democrats have over the Internet in China and are hella jealous. American Democrats want to use "election interference/Facebook ads and memes Democrats don't like" as an excuse to impose Chinese Democrat style censorship on Americans. Sites like this will be hardest hit.

    Boycotting is the pinnacle of free speech.
    I am not surprised the right seems to be defending a platform that pushes outright false narratives however.

    Facebook doesn't push anything. It's users do.

    Boycott all you want. The solution is Chinese Democrat style censorship and that's what will come if Democrats get their way.

    Facebook does push an agenda of selling your privacy to make money.

    Obviously Zuckerburg's threat to piss people off by allowing his site to have no journalistic or even reasonable standards of truth in their posts and ads is already have a reaction.

    He had a secret meeting with trump and revised their site ToS afterwards, he allows unmitigated lies on a site that people take as news, he steals user data and sells it to the highest bidder so advertisers can manipulate their user base...
    Money, greed and lies...
    Fits perfectly with the con mantra.

    Facebook posts are now "journalism".

    Hey guys, good news.

    We're all journalists here.

    Now we can sue when they censor us I guess.

    This is what I'm talking about. Democrats basically want speech police to patrol Facebook.

    American Democrats/neo-commies are dying to impose Chinese Democrat style censorship on Americans.

    It is a shame the Constitution could not foresee the era of the digital bandits.

    I think Facebook provides a platform and Democrats want to censor it.

    Republicans = free speech

    Democrats = controlled speech

    Boycotts are free speech.

    Weren’t cons the ones that were arguing they were a publisher and thus needed federal regulation?
    Y’alls morals seem to conform to whatever specific set of events you believe is beneficial to your own narrative...
    Meaning there are no real morals at all...

    Sure, but you support people who want Chinese style censorship imposed on Americans.
