Yes. Of course. The contractor is doing what their client wants AND is staffed by useful idiots eager to fight for the collectivist cause. Any questions?... We are at war, it seems to me, and only one side is acting like it.

Facebook temporarily deleted my new company's hashtag of #YourHealthMatters. We now only use #BeyondTheLight.

What Facebook needs - like YouTube and other online opposition-muzzlers - is something very simple: Competition.

I haven't had the time to go scouring the net for viable alternatives, but a recent Forbes article jumped out at me:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnscot...

...and prompted me to go to http://MeWe.com and sign up. MeWe had me with its "Privacy Bill of Rights" alone.

The site is still comparatively empty - owing to its relative newness - but expect that to change. And there are some klunky elements: So far it's impossible to contact group admins without first making them "Contacts" (MeWe's version of "Friends,") which is something I don't care to do with anyone I haven't met face-to-face; and navigation is a little cumbersome.

The upsides are many: MeWe has a super-duper high-tech innovation that nobody but nobody had ever, ever heard about before, not even Facebook after some sixteen years and four months of existence: (Drum roll please....) Italics, bold and strikethrough text-formatting for posts! Groundbreaking!

I haven't found an equivalent at MeWe of Facebook's endlessly-updating "Home" feed - which in context of saving time is a good thing. OTOH, it's maybe the one thing that keeps Facebook users stuck to the site for hours on end: Basic curiosity. But... a massive time-waster too.

Some of the things that were free at Facebook carry a small fee at MeWe, like starting a group page ($1.99/mo, which puts the annual fee at something like: two beers at the airport.) There's also a "Premium" opt-in tier which gives you voice and video contact, a chunk of storage space, and a bunch of expanded emogi, sticker and theme options.

At any rate, assuming there are others as disgusted at Facebook's little ideological fiefdom as me, they'll be looking for fresh alternatives too. I'm hoping MeWe rises to the top of that particular heap, because Weinstein seems at least to lean in the direction of individualism and respect for users. The biggest downside is of course the simple lack of content - something which will require patience.

Facebook has become a classic case of a monolithic leviathan so convinced of its invincibility that it doesn't notice the cracks in its foundation. (A little like Asimov's Galactic Empire in "Foundation.") Which means it's ripe for supplanting by a better competitor.

YMMV, but I recommend giving MeWe a whirl. It'd sure be nice to see a hefty influx of O-people there (there's already at least one Objectivism group.)

Everyone who HASN'T donated to Project Veritas should... I've actually had lunch with James and a couple of his crew through the Tea Party...

This guy is the real deal. I love how he calls American Media the "American Pravda", which is the Russian Word for Truth! LOL. That's what Russia called their "news"...

We have gone full on Russian.

Me dino objects! Trump is not being fair to censuring truth-twisting Marxist traitors.

Hooray for Veritas! My concern that if Biden get elected would such groups be target of Dem backlash. I was running a scenario in my mind that the Communist Democrat Party could go after all Trump supporters after such an election. Since they no longer see the Constitution as a viable document this could be the end of our country. Some of the Fox News talking heads are very critical of Trump and his ability of getting elected. The political ads are so numerous and very biased. Even when my wife and I are watching any of the Discovery family of channels the political ads are just too numerous also. My wife wistfully mentions moving the the ex-patriot community in Portugal, "Going Galt".

They have turned into a content creator with this action they are open to a law suite. It's legislation time!!

I am not convinced that repealing Section 230 would help the situation. It would merely cause media to close their comment sections.

Better to change the wording so that the requirement for "good faith" in moderating has the effect of requiring media owners to keep their word when they advertise, or contractually promise, neutrality and/or a written "acceptable use policy."

As for Project Veritas, they are only somewhat useful since they seem to be about "catching in the act" people who aren't breaking the law and aren't likely to suffer consequences. More useful, in my estimation, would be to look at how the data that Facebook and Google collect get sold and used, and spread that knowledge around so that consumers start abandoning those companies.

I also recommend https://ReclaimTheNet.org, which emphasises alternatives and workarounds that let you evade controls yourself.
