Every. Single. Major media outlet is censoring and doing absolutely EVERYTHING they can to pave the road for Hillary. Is this who you all want? Presidents that have to be circumvented into the white house against the overwhelmingly obvious public will? You understand that when you vote for these candidates that they never needed your vote and there is nothing to be proud of?

No surprise. Zuckerberg and Sandberg are pro Democrats. Maybe the whole tech sector except Peter Thiel.

That is probably a fake but even if its real, has nothing to do with Trump. It mentions "Muslims" "ISIS" and "Homeland security" all in one post. Why not just add "bomb" and get yourself on a watch list?

I can assure you no human is reading millions of posts to figure out which ones to delete. At least not by Americans. Now, I have no idea what their algorithm is targeting and why that post was flagged (if indeed it's not fake as usual).

I highly doubt it is fake. This is just the tip of the iceberg -

So you think Zuckerberg has hired thousands off people to sit there monitoring Facebook's over 48 million posts per day looking for the word Trump and deleting it? LOL!!!!

He probably outsourced the jobs to China.

Its for the keywords I mentioned in my previous post. Not surprising at all.

Zuckerberg didn't attend that meeting. I don't think you should generalize all Tech CEOs.

Mark likes Mr. Trump when the latter changed his mind about H1B visas in the March debate . . . . not so much a few hours later, when Mr. Trump changed his mind on it again. Must be confusing to Mark.

Seriously, the point is that an algorithm spits out posts that get flagged depending on a combination of words used, context in which they are used, prior posting history and so on (I am assuming all that). As such, it must be prone to delete pro-Trump (and probably anti-Trump or anti-Cruz as well) posts even where the content does not seem inappropriate. That's what computers do. . . . make mistakes in interpreting human speech and writing . . . . ever tried using Siri?
