Facebook censorship

[Esaias]

This isn't about the rights of the owner of a website. Its about the fact that Facebook appears to be a government financed data mining and tracking platform masquerading as a "social media" happy funball. It also has been used to manipulate large segments of the population for political purposes. Its a social control mechanism covertly utilized by the US government. Land of the free, home of the brave. Lee Greenwood was unavailable for comment.

Again, it may seem unethical, but not illegal.

The same with the news media.
The problem is that these mediums are dishonest, they pretend to be neutral, but they are not.
They should be honest and simply tell the people what is their slant.

I tell people that I am a Christian, so my slant is clear for all to see, I do not pretend to be neutral.

I'm not surprised by the OP. Does anyone remember this?
