This is "political censorship!"

Be careful, Matt, you may be next!

Facebook claims to be a forum for the exchange of ideas, and it claims not to be politically biased, but it bans only people on the right (except for Farrakhan). One question I have: How many people did they ban this week? I have not seen that question addressed.

Matt also makes a good point when he talks about people being smeared as dangerous and hateful. How is that going to affect the person's job prospects? Where is the evidence of hate and violence? Facebook does not have the right to defame anyone! They are defaming those they have banned!

Is Facebook responsible for what is said on the Facebook platform? If they are just a platform then they can't exercise this kind of editorial control! Facebook is dancing between being a utility one minute, a platform the next minute, and a publisher the next minute!
