So the NFL should be able to fine or fire a player who kneels for the anthem then?

Or Hobby Lobby should be able to fire employees protesting against them not covering birth control?

Exactly what part of social media terms and conditions exclude the expression of Conservative viewpoint?

How 'bout hate speech part? Conservative have tons of expression on social media, as they should. Give me a break.

Not if it's on their own time off Hobby Lobby property.

No problem with "Conservative viewpoint."

He violated the hate speech policy.

Conservative viewpoint is not hate speech.

The Internet as a whole is the public square.

Facebook, a private company, requires members to agree to certain terms, and if a member violates said terms, he/she is subject to being banned.

Still trying to figure that out

You wouldn't have to try so hard to figure it out if you took the time to do a teeny bit of research.

Facebook is the largest monopoly of social media for direction commmunication

Needs to be broken up or some regulation has to be put in place that they can’t just ban whoever they want

No, they only ban those who violate the terms and conditions.

There are many, many more conservative viewpoints represented there.

Also, there are other places to go on the Internet if Facebook isn't your bag. Some are totally devoid of terms and conditions.

All I can find is general “hate speech” against Muslims and illegals.

What specifically was said? Does anyone know?
