Facebook is simultaneously accused by the right of censoring conservative opinion, and by the left of being in the bed with right-wing extremists. ^_^
Either they're doing something very right, or very wrong.


I mean, it seems like FB is trying to be on the libertarian side of "free speech" which is admirable. However, you're going to take A LOT of heat for that.

FB does actively target disinformation campaigns which I don't consider "conservative viewpoints."

Maybe, but the problem is still that someone has to define what is or isnt 'disinformation', and when the control instance that's making this call is an unelected, unchecked, untransparent entity and their decisions have a large impact on public opinion, that's really problematic.

Zuck ironically is the most balanced on his social media platform when it comes to allowing content to be posted without interference until its almost a necessity to do so

His employees hate him for it which just proves he’s correct to do so

This. I think he tries very hard to be objective. Admirable considering he’s under constant assault from the left for not policing speech they label whatever ist.

so apparently in the past day left-wing sleuths managed to dig up an incident from july in which Kyle Rittenhouse fought in the street with a girl and was ganged up on by some guys... while defending his sister
and the opposing right-wing sleuths tracked that in the day of the shooting, kyle had been on volunteer lifeguard duty, rushed around with a fire extinguisher putting out fires at the riots, and spent his afternoon volunteering to clear graffiti

its kind of amazing to me that all 3 of the people who got shot were already violent felons including the pedophile. Do these protests really have such a high saturation of felons that you can throw a stick in the air and have it land on multiple sex offenders?

Gotta be careful with that. In some states, peeing in an alley can make you a sex offender. But yea, I imagine that the opportunity to riot attracts some really unsavory people.

I really feel bad for this Kyle kid b/c it's very clear he is young and impressionable. His life is going to be torn apart over a stupid culture war. Not sure how you can have a fair trial.

video found up close right from gaige grosskreutz's stream, proving Kyle was running to get the police, not escape



Quote
Grosskreutz: "...shots"
Unidentified male shouting: "Why you shoot him!?"
Grosskreutz, catching up to Kyle: "Hey what are you doing? You shot somebody?"
Kyle, running: "I'm going to get police"
Grosskreutz: "Who's shot?... who's shot?"
Unidentified male, possibly Huber: "Stop him!"
Grosskreutz: "Hey stop him!"
Unidentified male: "Beat his ass!"
Unidentified male "What did he do?"
Unidentified male "Shot someone"
Unidentified male: "Get his ass!"


lots of indistinct voices between all that, and ending with the gunfire and grosskreutz's livestream getting disarmed

I'm sure that the media will use their careful, sensitive hands to get this crucial-to-narrative information into the hands of the average American so that they can make accurate political decisions.

as awful as the rittenhouse situation is. and i'll admit that believing he acted in self defense. i hope that was the violent peak of action in kenosha.

we're all nervous about what kind of violence these nightly "protest gone riots" present

God Bless America. and for our atheist brothers - Proccy bless you.
