And lest we forget this is the same man that publicly announced he was working directly with the Israeli Government to stamp out “antisemitism” which he defines as anything critical of Israel or supportive os Palestine and the Palestinians in any way. Fair and objective are 2 basic concepts that clearly have escaped this fascist. This man represents a direct threat to US National Security due to his ability to influence and sway the electorate in a manner he has readily demonstrated to be in the bests interests of Israel rather than the United States. The same goes for the big 5 media giants the 3 major internet provides, the major search engines and of course both major social media companies. They are all Pro Israeli, Pro Zionists and Pro Jewish (as apposed to Pro Jewish American a not too subtle difference). There is a direct correlation between their rapid rise in power and influence since 2000, and the drastic declinedecline of this country socially, politically, economically and militarily.

Jooberg is a Joo, so where is the surprise that Farcebook leans to the left? Mostly I see Farcebook as a government tool, overseen by the government but made to look like a private company with Jooberg as the farcical founder and creator.

Nothing about them changed: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Is it just me or does the Facebook logo, tilted to the side, look like a swastika?

Squirrel!
You know the iconic scene from Up where the dog will stop paying attention to anything when it sees a squirrel, right?
Such it is with you and FaceFart when it comes to bias.
Facebook said its investigation showed that conservative and liberal topics were approved as trending topics at nearly identical rates. It said it was unable to substantiate any allegations of politically motivated suppression of particular subjects or sources.
But it did not rule out human error in selecting topics.
“Our investigation could not fully exclude the possibility of isolated improper actions or unintentional bias in the implementation of our guidelines or policies,” Colin Stretch, Facebook’s General Counsel, wrote in a company blogpost.
Uh huh. In the “meeting” Glenn Beck was said to be auditioning for Zuckerberg’s manservant, just one step removed from getting under the table and blowing him on the spot. Gee, how deranged have you become, Glenn?
The issue is not so much “trending topics” anyway. No, it’s this sort of thing:
We wish this wasn’t true – but it looks like Mark Zuckerberg’s message hasn’t got through to Facebook’s employees. Conservative activist and Donald Trump supporter Lauren Southern was just kicked off the site for a totally inoffensive post noting its censorship of another conservative.
Got it? She was banned for posting about another person being banned for calling out Facebook on censoring conservatives. This was deemed in violation of “Community Standards.”
Uh, what standards? You mean the ones that say one must never criticize Facebook itself? It appears so.
Remember, Facebook said such things don’t happen. They said there has been no bias and no “knowing” incidents of this sort. Riiiight.
So here’s the question: Who banned her for a month and why haven’t they been immediately fired, the account reinstated and a formal apology provided?
I’ll tell you why — this was never about “trending news”; it has always been about removing those who disagree with the political slant of Zucker****er, including I note his desire to radically increase the H1b visa count and move big parts of his “monitoring” offshore to very cheap-labor places such as India and Pakistan where he can pay people $1 an hour or less.
Criticize any of that or amplify the speech of someone who has and you’re risking being tossed.
Community Standards? I’ll give you mine:
You advertise on FaceBook and I will never buy anything from you — and I will tell you why.
As for the few reasons I have to keep looking there for various events and such? I’m going to be notifying those organizers as well, and if they choose to continue to use that as a sole source, well, perhaps I should stop patronizing and being a part of (for those that are non-profits) those organizations too.
Facebook is free to choose how it runs its business. But I’m free to respond, and this is it:
Bite me Zucker****er.

I’ve never had a FaCIAbook account and I never follow links to the site because of the malware attempts my system blocked the first few times I followed links to pages from family members who sent me links to their photo galleries hosted there.
The way the IPO was handled reeked. How could a corporation which had no assets and could show no earnings manage to book a value of billions upon being launched? It had to be funded somehow, and intel agencies looked to be behind it.
Hmmm
