    Facebook is hate!!! All social media are platforms used by liberals to promote separation, division and hate. Who’s divided the country ? Statistics don’t lie!!

    Facebook needs to be more like Twitter and only support progressive views!
    Free Speech is Overrated

    Tech companies that go along with this will be smashed to little bits, whoever’s left working there will have a federal regulator standing over their puny shoulders as they peck away at their keyboards MAKING SURE THEY DO NOT SILENCE CONSERVATIVE AND CHRISTIAN OPINIONS.

    TRUMP2020. Try us, we can be very anti free market when it comes to freedom of speech. If you abuse your power, we will take from you what you created.

    Lol “Make people afraid” to vote what a joke. Voter suppression?! Show me how this happens. Sounds like you’re trying to influence the 2020 election?

    Once Facebook establishes its cryptocurrency, it will be unstoppable. Facebook has made a safe-space for the Alt-right. Once Facebook establishes its cryptocurrency, the terrorists will be unstoppable.

    Just look at this comment section: half of them are couch Nazis that we’re gong to burn alive — and livestream it on Facebook.

    It’s not just Facebook, have you seen reddit lately? It’s become a bastion of hate. When the coronavirus was first detected in China, reddit went nuts. They absolutely rejoiced and prayed that the virus would kill hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and cripple their economy. I’ve never seen anything more disgraceful. Reddit has become home to genocidal monsters. Reddit went full Hitler. And it’s still like that to this day!

    And by hate speech, you mean conservative speech right?

    mocking and criticizing democrats is considered hate speech by these leftwing neo-nazis

    Civil Rights leader probably hates their life. Mirrored perception.

    I get it; thought and speech police. Define “hate speech” please. This is a ploy to silence dissenting voices.

    Wake up people. You aren’t on the right side of history if you are on the side suppressing speech. You are siding with the people on top trying to control you.

    democrats are the new book burners; the new plantation masters where everyone must agree or get flogged if you think for yourself. These are vile loathsome people

    Too bad beside friendster, I never get the chance to know what social media is all about
    If I did I would certainly rant my discontent about FB right now

    It’s bad – if your not white – they attack you or tag team you – but most of them are the ones who wouldn’t say anything in someone face – nothing but hate , bigotry, disgusting ignorance of one sided opinions

    What are the qualifications for a civil rights auditor? Are these essentially lawyers?

    Shutting down free speech is really about controlling the message. Bad ideas should be countered with better ideas, not by censorship. Who picks the censors? How will we know what they are censoring?

    What is wrong with citizens saying what they believe? Why should we censor freedom of speech?? Let’s follow the Constitution, please think it through.

    It’s obvious what the left is trying to do. They are trying to ban free speech to influence the election. This is treasonous.
