So… Facebook is helping Donald Trump now?
After banning him forever?
Now they’re helping him?
What is going on?
Meta has removed previous restrictions on the Facebook and Instagram accounts of Donald Trump as the 2024 election nears, the company announced on Friday.
Trump was allowed to return to the social networks in 2023 with “guardrails” in place, after being banned over his online behavior during the 6 January insurrection. Those guardrails have now been removed.
“In assessing our responsibility to allow political expression, we believe that the American people should be able to hear from the nominees for president on the same basis,” Meta said in a blogpost, citing the Republican national convention, slated for next week, which will formalize Trump as the party’s candidate.
Well, it seems like that should have been obvious before. To everyone.
But according to Zuck, the FBI told them to censor Trump because he is evil.
As a result, Meta said, Trump’s accounts will no longer be subject to heightened suspension penalties, which Meta said were created in response to “extreme and extraordinary circumstances” and “have not had to be deployed”.
“All US presidential candidates remain subject to the same community standards as all Facebook and Instagram users, including those policies designed to prevent hate speech and incitement to violence,” the company’s blogpost reads.
Frankly, it looks like Donald Trump is going to be president again.
Maybe not. I don’t make predictions about shit no more. None of anything makes any sense, so you can’t follow nothing to make no predictions.
Frankly, I don’t see any reason why Joe Biden can’t “win” even if he is only polling at 30%. The media can just say “well, it looks like everyone changed their mind at the last moment – and you know what happens if you complain about this, so we’d advise you to keep your mouth shut.”
But that isn’t what is happening here. The media is attacking Joe Biden, aggressively, after having set him up to fail at that debate.
So either they are going to switch him out for a new candidate or Trump is going to win.
If Trump wins, I’d advise you to get the hell out of the country, because he is going to make Biden’s wars look like fun time at the petting zoo.
No more free passes for Donald Trump.
We’re going to say who he is, and what he intends to do.
He’s a convicted criminal.
