Just in time for midterms, Facebook has removed 559 pages and 251 accounts they claim have been spreading misinformation and spam. Several of the pages however – some with millions of followers, were pro-Trump conservatives who had spent years cultivating their followings.
I’ve been memory holed from FaceBook! 350k followers poof gone! There is a dangerous precedent being set here where the big tech companies have appointed themselves as the gate keepers of political thought and opinion! Retweet this if you care about free-speech! #FreeDicks pic.twitter.com/LsnZvaJyOL

Facebook has unpublished our page
After 5 years of building fans Facebook has officially unpublished our page (3.1 million fans) so we can’t post on it anymore. This is truly an outrage and we are devastated. We will do everything we can to recover our page and fight back. pic.twitter.com/H3AmHTT8Qo

Facebook claims that “domestic actors” have been creating “fake pages and accounts to attract people with shocking political news,” reports Bloomberg.
“The people behind the activity also post the same clickbait posts in dozens of Facebook Groups, often hundreds of times in a short period, to drum up traffic for their websites,” Facebook said in a Thursday blog post. “And they often use their fake accounts to generate fake likes and shares. This artificially inflates engagement for their inauthentic pages and the posts they share, misleading people about their popularity and improving their ranking in news feed.”
Some pages Facebook removed had large followings of real and fake accounts. Nation in Distress, a conservative meme page, was followed by more than 3 million people, according to the Internet Archive, which stores historical versions of websites and other online content. –Bloomberg
That said, not all of the accounts with large followings were conservative; Reverb Press, for example, had over 700,000 followers and constantly attacked President Trump and Republicans, who they referred to as “cheating scumbags.”
A third left-leaning page, Reasonable People Unite, posted a screen shot of a Twitter user who said, “Somewhere in America, a teenage girl is listening to her parents defend Brett Kavanaugh and she is thinking to herself, if something like that happens to me, I have nowhere to go.” –WaPo
The digital nanny state strikes again…

Three Canadian professors recently penned an editorial in an influential academic journal arguing that teaching students STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) helps perpetuate “patriarchy,” “heteronormativity,” and other social ills.

Sign up at Gab. Extend your tribe. You’re gonna need one another.

My wife deleted her Farcebook account last month… Chip
Damn,just STOP using fecesbook/gaggle/twaddle ect.,go to options others mentioned.I know tis hard to not use something online without it being connected to gaggle but at least try.I will not use their maps/operas ect.
I believe we will also need alts for debits cards ect. as they also continue to “restrict sales”for certain items,so far,me debit card has not done it yet but the minute they do tis cancelled.Really hope folks who believe in free speech/firearm rights ect. get some alts in the making because the major players are tightening the noose.
Get the fuck off of Facebook and build a competing platform.
Come on TBP’ers. We can all hire Dutchman to code a new facecrack. The question is, what should we call it?
Screw Facebook!!!! If someone is told by these Communists how to vote.Then said folks are going to get what they deserve in the long run. It is amazing to me how much the media can sway people. Like say Hollywood and their POZ. Constantly showing Blacks as wealthy and normal acting.When in truth 90% of them Can’t or Won’t assimilate into how the media shows them. Then there is the constant women warrior,as she takes on 2-3 husky men with her bare hands. Talk about nonsense. However many believe this to be true,and that includes those in Hollywood trying to shove it down our throats. If what is coming holds true. There is gonna be some very surprised people when they get slapped with reality.
Or we can ask Trump to take all the tech companies .
