More Facebook censorship - bullet - 08-24-2018 07:37 AM
https://nypost.com/2018/08/23/facebook-censored-my-column-and-i-still-cant-find-out-why/
"At 7:55 a.m. Thursday morning, I posted a story I had written for The New York Post on both Facebook and Twitter. It was a reported piece on how people who voted for President Trump were feeling after both former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his lawyer Michael Cohen found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
Within two hours I started receiving a handful of notes from people who are friends on my personal Facebook page that their posting of my piece, entitled “Why Trump’s supporters won’t care about Cohen and Manafort,” had been removed....
Ninety minutes after removing it, the article reappeared as if nothing ever happened.
No one told me why it was taken down. No one told me why the piece suddenly reappeared with no explanation of what had happened.
Facebook offers no transparency for its methods or decisions....
Perhaps someone doesn’t like my stories and complained about it. But then, who is that person and why does Facebook give them that sort of power?
The third option is that someone working for Facebook actually saw it and made the decision to take it down. If that’s the case, what standards are they working from?..."
<I think its pretty clear a lot of liberals want an echo chamber and can't stand the idea of someone expressing a different opinion. I've seen it on other boards. They want to censor and bully conservatives. No doubt in my mind they are complaining to Facebook and trying to get conservatives censored.>

I would agree that is the cause and they have a willing partner in Facebook.

Again. Why do you people even go on that site?

I think their policy is when someone flags something as offensive it takes it down until it can be reviewed. It seems stupid in this case, but that safeguard is in place in case someone posts something truly offensive like when my buddy's account got hacked and they used his account to post a bunch porn videos.

Good fake news needs exposed.

Facebook can review and censor as they choose and have stated they will work to keep fake news off the site. They reviewed the article and posted it... snowflake should stop whining.

Sometimes there are people cussing and all that where things get out of hand that Facebook take things down and get all the posts clean. I know people on both sides who used harsh vulgar language get sent to the penalty box for a week. Some on both sides get banned.
