The Audacity Of Facebook

You hear about it all of the time.  When it happens to you, it's both bewildering and frustrating.  Being guilty of being a Conservative on Facebook.  I had a 3-day suspension last month because I pushed it, I posted a photograph of Sen. Chuck Schumer kissing a young black girl on the mouth on the beach.  The actual moment I clicked "post" FB shut down.  No posting, no messenger, nothing.  Triple negative?  I'll own it.

Today I shared a post on my Facebook wall about the Goya company expanding a facility in Houston TX after the liberals took aim at them for one of their backfiring boycotts.  I shared the same post, word-for-word on Parler.  A couple of hours later I've got several THOUSAND views and a LOT of likes and new follows.  On Facebook the post has exactly one like and no comments.

So I screen capture the Parler post and try to send it to my buddy Steve on FB Messenger and it shut me down instantly when I pressed send.  We're talking about Messenger, not posted on my wall.  There is no doubt in my mind that this Messenger deal on Facebook is viewed BEFORE you press "send".  There is no other way that they could instantly shut down your account.

When this is the norm, you must consider their messenger service compromised and publicly viewed.  Your messages are free and clear for anyone from the corporate stooges at Facebook down to the janitors it seems.  I shudder to think at thoughts I shared there over the years that were being peeped on.  Whatever did happen to that whole idea of privacy?  What about Amendment One, the Free Speech one?

My only crime is being conservative and skeptical of EVERYTHING on the news channels and the internet.  The truth, after all, is a moving target.  (Thanks, Neil)
