Where else can you easily for a group of 1.7 million members???
Again, if one group was banned but the other not, wouldn’t the logical explanation be that one group violated Facebook’s TOS and the other didn’t?

Has anyone tried to find out why this one pro-Trump group was banned?
Clearly it isn’t only because it’s pro-Trump, since there are other similar groups still active on Facebook.

What made this one so special?

I'm just trying to figure out what you have against the free enterprise system.

Back in the day when I was an idiot leftie, a coworker from Canada said to me you know your media is biased, right? I was too stupid to understand it then but I sure do now. I started really paying attention and reading/viewing both sides and then it because as clear as day.
All the more reason to not frequent them and increase their revenue, right?

As long as it's free on both sides, I am good. It's not. And furthermore, Zuckerburg spent $400million to get Biden 'elected'. Barack Obama put Dinesh D'souza in prison for making a donation north of $20k. Let's just apply the same rules to both sides, k?

Not sure why you addressed that to me. I'm consistently on the side of property rights. I guess you aren't.

I don't switch my principles every time Trump tweets.

Start your own Twitter.

If conservatives started leaving facebook and twitter in droves things would change. I know, faux conservatives don't have a Reaganesque view of the power of free markets. Government must act! Government must be more powerful!

Who said they have to do it fairly? If Twitter wants to suspend a proTrump account because they don’t like Trump, they are within their rights to do so.

We would all have been better off if Twitter had blocked Donald Trump’s account long ago.
