Because they are conservative and talk against the left. Why are they taken down because of that when left leaning people talking against the right do not?
It's obvious now Facebook shuts down conservatives so Zuck should just admit it. If he is a private company he should have no trouble owning up to what he does.
Tell you what. Tell Scott Pruitt to stop lying about all the Environmental Protection he has accomplished and then we'll talk.
Unlike Zuck, Pruitt is supposed to work for the USA.
Can we demand that Fox News puts on the World Socialist Org leaders as Anchors? Of course not.
Now we have it in writing. The Right complained about the FAIR doctrine and, in fact, did away with it...and said it was the worst possible idea. NOW that they sense they may be on the losing side of some propaganda wars, they want "free stuff" and are like little melting snowflakes when a corporation doesn't give them free stuff.
Use it or don't use it. Or, buy up all the stock and vote the stock. As of now, you lost. Same goes with Google, Twitter, Apple, Amazon and many others. Must be a coincidence that these trillions in market cap are not run by Bannon and his crowd. Their billionaires are the Kochs...who never admit their 100's of "dark money" groups. And Devos - who inherited money from Amway - a corporation which virtually invented the Ponzi scheme (MLM).
Look - if only 6% of scientists ID as Republican, that tells you something. If the top newspapers in the world (in respect, not in showing boobs) are "liberal", that is because they are educated. If the top tech companies are liberal, that is because a liberal education is the core of the USA and our economy/lifestyle/civilization.
You say "he should just own up". I say "you should also". I would never attempt to claim that liberals put on better Monster Truck Shows, ride bulls better or know how to jack up slanting double-wides as quickly. We each have to own up to our strengths and weaknesses.
There are no liberals I know that have steer horns on their Caddys that look anywhere near as good as those I saw in San Antonio. I accept that.
Facebook is FREE??? Wow, the Left is REALLY gullible. So are government programs right? Everything is free!!! Yay!
It has little to do with being free. The NY Time and Faux News are not free, but they still put what they want on their platforms.
What it has to do is that they are controlled by their own bosses and cultures and board of directors. Therefore, they decide what to put on "page one", what to put on "page 10" and what not to put on at all.
I'm sure you must agree with this. After all, if you started a popular blog would you want the government to tell you what you have to print and which comments you must allow?
There are some things I don't like much about Facebook, and I haven't logged in for quite some time, but I do kind of question this whole censorship argument for one reason. It is purely anecdotal, so YMMV.
I have a housemate. She is a strong conservative, and very supportive of Trump most of the time. She gets most of her news from Fox and on Facebook, which she visits for extended periods of time on a daily basis. I have yet to hear her complain about a lack of conservative content, even in the wake of this discussion. It is the sort of thing she would mention if she believed it.
Ted Cruz should be giving testimony about Robert Mercer and Cambridge Analytica since that is who was rowing his boat in the primaries before Trump shut him down...
Zuckerberg should be treated like his side treated Christian bakers, florists, photographer, etc who won't cater to a gay "wedding". Fine him $500 million and make him take sensitivity training!
Well this is true, he is private but that doesn't mean he should refuse to serve all who come to him and use his service. Good one. His has a public entity.
You gotta hand it to to a right-winger who began the questioning by asking, "Are you neutral?" And then cut right to, "How come all these extreme right-wing stories were omitted from your site???"
LOL!!!!!!!
So basically Cruz's entire line of questioning can be summed up as:
"Hey Facebook, why didn't you guys do more to spread right-wing bias???"
Shameless right-winger.
.
I can only sadly shake my head at you for thinking this was a righteous and fair grilling aimed at Trump stealing the presidency and instead was turned political ....but only by the Republicans.
Cruz is auditioning for 2020, just like many of the others.
P.S. I don't know how you restrained yourself from calling him a woman hating racist at the same time, so kudos there.
