    Were you bothered by a guy from Microsoft being in charge of cyber security?

    More right wing self pity threads.

    Private companies don't host every bit of content the right wants to see - WAAAAAAAA!

    Private companies fact check the pathological liar they voted for before hosting his content - WAAAAAAAA!

    Private companies don't run every bit of BS propaganda Trump allies make up - WAAAAAAAAAA!

    Watch as the 'muh freedumz' crowd decide to go all Comrade Stalin on any service that doesn't uncritically reproduce the lies they treat as fact.

    What is the problem with that? It's how Facebook was designed and marketed to be. It isn't (and never was) intended as any kind of mass broadcast medium but for communication within like-minded social groups. If you received every single public post in your feed you'd be inundated constantly with new posts and it'd be unmanageable.

    Now plenty of people try to use Facebook for more than it was designed, be that out of ignorance or an intent to manipulate and work around it's design, and Facebook itself hasn't done much to discourage them since it still makes them money but they're still all wrong.

    Censorship. What people believe Trump tried to achieve, but couldn't, Mark Zuckerburg is well on his way. Biden as a political puppet(the first puppet in American history) will lead the way for historic government corruption.

    But this kind of cronyism is okay, it doesn't lose people their jobs. They get rewarded for it instead. Ah, I missed it I really did.

    Good ole American Politics. Don't worry Europeans/Chinese, we're right back in your pockets.

    Is it possible ... only once possible that you Trump supporters PLEASE take your blinders off your eyes when you "throw dirt" at the Democrats and tell the whole story objectively and not just one-sidedly with ignoring and hiding the uncomfortable part?
    You're talking about lobbying swamp here? Nice ... do you seriously think Trump made the lobby swamp drier, even a little bit?
    No, he hasn't ... much more he is part of lobbying just like everyone else and that is the unpleasant truth!

    You know those great election campaign parties where entry costs quickly $ 100,000 or more?
    Trump did it just like Biden ... and that is always a "who is who" meeting of the lobbyists ... and that they were also successful with Trump, there is several proofs of this!
    And as for your allegation about Facebook ... very strange that you then hide or ignore this:

    After his victory in 2016, Trump heaved former lobbyists into positions where they decided on guidelines that affected their former employers ... for example Scott Pruitt!

    Want to know the height of ignorance? A girl on our city FB group page called Zuck a "Republican and Trump supporter" I'd rather believe she was willfully lying than that she actually believed that.

    Then they are a publisher and their protections as a platform must be revoked. You don't get to be publisher and not be subject to lawsuits. It doesn't work like that.

    Meanwhile youtube is hosting an openly racist video against white people.


    They asked black racists what white people are superior at, some of the answers were:
    "lying, stealing and cheating"
    "violence"
    "genocide"
    "at being dicks"

    I like this. Every single white person is superior at being a dick, lying, stealing and cheating. No data for the observations, just assertions. This channel is promoted by youtube and also has ties to BLM. Apparently peddling hate of white folks is within the terms of service. What I love is that these lunatics make no distinction between white conservatives and white progressives, according to these racists all whites are evil. Apparently this kind of thought is now within MSM norms and is therefor acceptable speech. I am left wondering how many whites would want blacks moving into their neighborhood after watching this video. It almost like a propaganda film for segregation, it would work as well for black viewers as it would for white viewers.

    Actually, it doesn't work like that. Section 230 doesn't distinguish between 'platforms' (a term it doesn't use) and 'publishers', it talks about 'service providers' and 'publishers'. Deciding what content you host does not make you a 'publisher'. Creating content makes you a 'publisher'. Facebook, Twitter & Youtube do not create content, they facilitate its distribution. According to Section 230 only the content creator can be held liable, not the service provider.

    So, choosing not to publish the lies your Dear Leader and his minions push has ZERO impact on legal protections. Now, I know you won't believe this because you believe the lies that you've been told, but its true. Sorry, no legal jihad against companies just because they don't facilitate the stuff you like.

    They didn’t censor Trump either.

    But they did start posting warnings to viewers over Trump’s frequently false tweets, and label false right wing content so viewers would no better than to take them at face value.

    Trump hates to be told that he shouldn’t lie wholesale, or traffic in conspiracy theories and the rest of the trash that the Trumpster audience loves so much.

    They already did that. Hence the rush to Parler.

    That started right after the election. I predicted that it would burn itself out in short order.

    Judging by the right wingers in my FB crowd, my prediction has already come true.

    Biden - career politician that has lined his own pockets and done nothing for the American people. And let's not even start on Hunter...

    Nuff said. The rest are his stooges! All people who suck!

    Nice ...
    how many videoas shall I now search and post about White Supremecy and Nazi BS blabbering against Blacks and others they hate?

    True is that racisim and BS blabbering is on both sides and THIS FACT should ever be in mind... and another fact is that white racism is the far bigger part of both!

    Like for example these 188 lobbyists Minions who suddenly became members of the Trump administration alone between 2017 and 2018?

    When it comes to ruin, it has been the case since ancient times that Republicans cut taxes - especially for the rich and companies with the lousy justification of creating jobs, which is proven to be BS in reality - to turn the national debt upwards sharply, above all to more Spending money on armaments in the face of the evil world out there ... ignoring the fact that the US creates most of its enemies first ... and when they are fired by the American people after 4 to 8 years, then the Democrats are allowed clean up all that mess of republicans!

    Not to be forgotten is the fact that it is always the Republicans who abolish strict requirements, rules and supervision of the financial markets, then Wall Street booms and then crashes again and again. You deny that? Well ... then look at who was US President here AND most of all what they did about Wall Street before AND how it always ended!

    Well, we already proved that he isn't bought and paid for like the career politicians are. So the answer is an absolute YES!

    Nepotism is no longer a problem in the WH since 2016.

    Then I can only say "my condolences"!

    Why then does he need so many campaign donations and why was donations now being called for to pay his lawyer rats in order to sue the election results?
    Can't he pay his own lawyers like Rudy Guiliano to spread baseless allegations and insane conspiracy theories?

    Did the police show up at her door? If not, why? Didn't she publicly announce her intent to commit physical violence in the home?
