My stuff gets taken down all the time on websites that I don’t own. Sometimes in minutes. It’s just the way the internet works.

Memes resonate with people. Facestalker wants to be in full control of the narrative so they can't have that.

Facebook fears being broken up by the government.

The FCC can do it, and in 2016, Facebook was the largest source of the Russian misinformation campaign.

Zuckerberg has to show the FCC he's serious about this now or they will shut Facebook down.

This isn't about fear, it's about suppression of a viewpoint the masters at FascistBook don't agree with. Mark Zuckerberg is the Joseph Goebbels of the 21st century.

They can set the rules for their platform however they want. Don't like it, get your own. Didn't they do the right-wing / white supremacist version of social media a long time ago? Just go there.
