Free speech victory as Facebook significantly reduces censorship of users

In a huge victory for free speech over censorship, Mark Zuckerburg has announced that Facebook will significantly reduce its censorship of users' comments. In particular, it is ditching the use of outside leftwing organizations that style themselves "fact checkers". Zuckerburg admitted that those self-styled fact checkers "destroyed more trust than they created."

Watch that "fact checker" video. While it is satire it is way too close to how they actually operate. Those in that business today are political hacks from one side of the political spectrum. They are financed by people who want one side presented and not the other.

If someone wanted to set up an honest entity that really looked at facts ovjectivvely, they would set up panels of genuine conservatives and genuine liberals and not make a pronouncement on anything unless the entire panel agreed. They don't do anything close to that. To be employed in that industry, one has to be a big time leftie.

When Zuckerberg joined the collusive effort to steal the 2020 Presidential Election to elect their Idiot Candidate, who was cheated into office to become Idiot President Biden, I dropped Fakebook.

Zuckerberg finally trying to come to terms with the guaranteed freedoms of the 1st Amendment is too little, too late for me at this point.

When the Non Patriot Left begins the suspension of the Constitution, the nation gets events like January 6th.

MAGA- facts agree with us. Everything else, isn't a fact.

See how easy that is?

Those "fact checkers" really ought to call themselves "spin doctors" because that is what they really are, spinning everything for the establishment narrative.

Zuckerburg is no conservative but even he acknowledges that these so-called "fact check" organizations are "politically biased". Any objective person would see that if one just looks at who funds them ranging from globalist totalitarian George Soros to to the globalist French government. It is not "facts" they promote but adherence to the globalist political narrative.

Translation - they got rid of fact checkers.

MAGA - hates facts if they look bad. (they almost always make MAGA look bad)

I see that the far left totalitarian German Green Party (neo-communist) is now threatening Facebook over abandoning political censorship.

I hope Trump will tell these European anti-free speech totalitarians that he will impose huge tariffs on any country that tries to do anything to suppress free speech on any US based platform. A 300% tariff on German cars would bring these totalitarian thugs to their senses.

For once, Zuckerberg has done the right thing and we should commend him for that. The video on "fact checkers" is spot on. They are part of the censorship-industrial complex and need to be put out of business.
