WHY FACEBOOK’S NEW CENSORING WILL BACKFIRE Today

WHY FACEBOOK’S NEW CENSORING WILL BACKFIRE Today September 7, 2020|Christian News, Facebook Censoring Facebook’s new censorship will backfire. Facebook has published a lengthy disclosure of their new policies that are set to kick in on October 1st. They claim that these new policies are necessary to protect themselves from lawsuits. That’s rich. Facebook worrying about lawsuits is like a hippo worrying about flea bites. They also claim that they are concerned about civil unrest arising from malicious posts. Such concern is of course selective. It took forever for them to remove leftist propaganda that called for violence. If you think that their concern about unrest will extend to removing Black Lives Matter propaganda—well, as they say in Texas, “Bless your little heart…” When Mark Zuckerberg appeared before Congress to answer questions about Facebook censorship, he was adamant that they were fair. But when a Congressman asked him why Facebook had censored black conservatives for no good reason, he was, in the words of one reporter, “flummoxed”— a great word meaning bewildered and perplexed. What does Facebook fear? They fear Donald Trump. Specifically, they fear his reelection. They fear his power to disrupt their company with the only organization big enough to threaten them: the U.S. government. They fear Trump’s reelection will lead to an investigation into social media’s long standing and draconian bias against Christians and conservatives. So, here’s how leftist logic works: “in order to avoid prosecution for something I am doing, I will do more of it.” The reason Facebook is ratcheting up its censorship, is that Trump is winning. Trump campaign ads are devastatingly effective—perhaps the most effective political ads in our history. Trump’s ads are actually changing minds. They know that Biden’s ads by comparison are a joke. They think that doing a pseudo-censorship of them is no big loss. But Trump—and Christians and conservatives, by extension—must be stopped.
