What hypocrisy... despite eight months of deaths, threats, and continued destruction from BLM/Antif rioters who continue to get bailed out by the "Minnesota Freedom Fund" they continue to have a platform but conservative voices do not. What a load of garbage.

The breakup of BigTech cannot happen fast enough!

According to modern zeitgeist, if Facebook can't be trusted to moderate their users, Facebook should be deplatformed and shut down.

Edit: wow, that blew up. For the record, I don't think Facebook should be shut down, and I don't think Parler should have either. I'm rather anti-social media, so I've never used either. We should have better reasons for doing things, and stick to them. Section 230 exists for a reason.

Facebook knows their audience well and is catering to it. It's social media for middle-aged conservatives, so it makes sense to advertise to them.

I don't know of a lot of young people who use the platform still, they've all gone off to TikTok or Instagram(still FB I know).
