If MSM does not report it, kids are not in cages

I don't understand why people can support FB without seeing the issue. How can a company getting gov't contract and subsidies does not hold the std?

Indeed. I never followed him on any social media, but I'm still thankful his mug doesn't occupy the news 24/7. Not having to worry about his impact on my country any longer, I can scroll right past anything having to do with him. It's been delightful.

People can support facebooks right to ban people inciting violence for example, while also thinking that facebooks also has issues.

Now you have to worry about the Clown in Chief's impact. But don't worry, the media will tell you all is well!

Problem is F-book and twatter are very selective in how they interpret "inciting violence" and who they ban.

Very true, I haven’t used Facebook in over a decade and in general it’s not really a company I support, but private companies do have a right to kick people off their services if those people violate policies.

Sure they are. LOL.

They also might focus on how big of a audience someone has when they incite violence. How many people report it, etc.

Yep. That’s what I said when it first came about. I suppose it is a place of refuge for some that need to remind themselves how important their life is. Part of the downfall of the social fabric of America.

I have no problem tossing Trump, just apply the TOS evenly.

P.S. Size of influence etc. you mention is a cheap rationalization of unequal application of the rules.

I don't watch him either. I don't watch politics much at all, probably no more than 15 minutes a week, if that. That being said, I am thrilled to have Biden as my president.
