    Who knew that lawfully exercising and defending your constitutional rights would get you banned on Fascbook?

    We ALL do.

    I can attest to the fact that the VCDL has never advocated violence and was not involved with the Save America Rally that Leftists are using as an excuse to attack and silence RW individuals and groups they disagree with.

    And here is the Fascbook "yo-yo effect" Mr. Van Cleave is talking about:

    And a report on the Lobby Day demonstration that Fascbook didn't like:

    Of course, it's a free country and Fascbook is free to be fascist, but it's equally obvious that only approved views and opinions are allowed on Fascbook...

    The power to place their thumb on the political scale should make any revenue they bring in a political contribution.

    I will tell you EXACTLY what the right wing tells everyone else:

    If you dont like Facebook, and their policies, build your own facebook ;)

    They have T's and C's and they must be followed. You agree to them when you sign up.

    How did the "left" take it down? If by "left" you mean Amazon stopped allowing Parler to use its web service due to the increase in violent content, death threats then sure...the "left took Parler down".

    Funny, I've only heard Leftists say that.

    Obviously, the VCDL violated the T's and C's concerning the ideological and political views Fascbook opposes.

    Oppose, get banned.

    Other than that no explanation was provided.....again.

    But it's not like this is anything new, extraordinary or surprising from the Left....



    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

    Having once lived in VA I know the VCDL is a very effective, law abiding lobbying organization. Any patriot in VA should join this fine organization.

    Obviously Suckerberg feels it is his duty as a rich person to use his money to influence political thinking in America. Cause obviously people cannot be allowed to just, ah you know, form their own opinions without proper guidance.

    NO "Explanation" Needed.

    FB can do whatever they want.

    If people don"t like it, they are always fee to go to another platform.


    ^Problem solved.

    And, as to the VCDL?

    Whining like Screaming Crybabies WON'T Change a Thing.

    No matter how many Extreme RW Parody Blogs are pushing the Faux Outrage.

    Because FB is a private business right? Then explain that to the business that were forced to close their doors during Covid. If Facebook is a private business and can do what they want...... then someo of these business should be able to open up right?

    We should not be surprised. It's what Fascist Tyrants do.

    I remember on election night, Steven Crowder was killing it on his Facebook stream when more viewers than any network... and suddenly, without warning... black screen and out. To this day, after multiple requests, they have never given any reason for taking down his stream. He has filed a law suit. I think at minimum, he is going to make them admit why they took it down.

    Totally unrelated (and NOT "the same").

    That sort of "Whataboutism" doesn't even hold water.

    Have you seen what was being posted on Parler ?

    That was nothing more than a chat room to start a civil war.

    Indeed. It's not like there's some mystery surrounding this latest exercise in "progressive" fascism.

    Nor is an explanation needed when their fellow Brownshirts on the Left defend them...

    Actually they're the same. Why can FB being a private business be allowed to do this, yet every other private business can't be open. If FB can ban a group because their private, then your logic a business can be open because their private?

    That's right. I've heard that "Parler" is welcoming them with open arms. So .....

    Your response is not surprising coming from an American who knows nothing about Europe ...

    That's total Leftist propaganda. I was on Parler. It was no worse than what goes at Twitter which has some seriously vile garbage, but that's O.K. when Leftists do it.
