Zuckerburger has admitted this.
During the last presidential election my own Facebook feed was edited with no explanation. Just content removed. Pro Trump content. It made me a little scared to know that my little place could be robbed by the G=ds of Facebook.

Facebook has been suppressing views on its social media site. Can anyone name other organizations, companies or social media platforms that are following suit?

Google is terrible. Try duckduckgo-they don't do any filtering or "tailoring" of search results. I don't like the format as well. It's eye opening when you search a "controversial" topic on google and then go to an unbiased site-results are completely different.

Why would you ask for a link after yesterdays hearing? Ted Cruz asked Zuckerberg about a number of pages of Republicans, Catholic-oriented groups, and two of Trumps biggest supporters that were deleted by Facebook and his response as to the reason why was that they delete pages of people who are dangerous to the community. When Cruz asked if he could name any Democrats or left leaning people whose pages were deleted, Zuckerberg said he wasn't aware of any.


You actually need more than what came out of the horse's mouth?

At this point in time everyone should realize all tech and social media sites have their own idea of what constitutes acceptable speech, or right and wrong and if you use any of the aforementioned you can not only be censored, but will be tracked and your info sold.
For anyone reading this, its too late.

Same goes for the NY Times and Washington Post, the two leading drivers of the entire country's narrative on what is going on in the USA. Where are the Woodward and Bernstein's of 2018? Are they too afraid of having their lives destroyed if they dare step out of the "Leftist Cocoon?"

Exactly...and this should have been understood a long time ago, but if it wasn't, it certainly should be now.

You choose to use, then don't complain about what they do with their site and your information.

Zuckerberg couldn't care less about Facebook users - he only cares about himself.

Almost every state and local government in this country is run by conservative Republicans. Republicans hold the presidency and the congress. I'm not buying this victim narrative that "conservatives are being oppressed."
