[TheoriginalBillBraskey]

Just give back the American people voice. Stop censoring news you don’t like.

The biggest social network is run by some awkward antisocial weirdo. we have the technology to be more connect as people then ever before but have never felt more isolated because of people like him. I miss the Myspace days

Besides, wasn't it JFK who told us to look into conspiracies when he spoke of a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy at The Waldorf Astoria in 1961 - JFK Library

What a lie! so many patriots are having their political observations censored by the fascist organization on a regular basis. Fight back, Americans! Notify your government agencies about this usurpation of our right of Freedom of Speech!

I posted the sentence: "Canadians are weird." and promptly received a 'hate speech' warning. WTF.

[jatinrana]

Mark “I’ll answer that when I’m not under oath” Zuckerburg

Facebook still censors me, and my direct ancestor is one of the reasons why we all have a U.S. 1st Amendment. Think I'm joking?

2021 January,
people are disappearing off the face of the internet

[brianparent]

I was censored off of Facebook, and I'm a direct descendant of Reverend George Wightman (Baptist Encyclopedia), brother of Reverend Valentine Wightman (Baptist Encyclopedia) who married Susannah Holmes, daughter of Mary Holmes, daughter of Mary Sayles, daughter of Roger Williams (Encyclopedia 1636). Roger Williams was a Puritan that came to America in 1630, 10 years after Puritans crossed on The Mayflower whom were also called "Separatists" after The Reformation of Denominations. Baptists, Amish, Puritans, and many other denominations fall under Protestantism. Roger Williams also came out with The Separation of Church & State which transcended down into our 1st Amendment through Thomas Jefferson to prevent religious persecution for a person's belief, and it was also to prevent 'governing powers' from influencing 'scripture.' Oh....I'm a conspiracy theorist, but so is every Biblical Scholar since they question the past all the time. I believe it was Sen. Diane Feinstein who threatened social media websites like Facebook to crack down on people sharing "Potent Facts" by those she calls Russian. I was blocked a week later. Over 800 Alternative News Media Websites were blocked after I was blocked. Oh...I'm one that doesn't care how rich and powerful you may think you are.

Facebooks' new content commissar is Pamela S. Karlan, a Stanford University law school professor who described herself as a “snarky, bisexual, Jewish women”.
