Facebook sucks ass. I only keep my FB page active to promote my Only Fans account.

unfortunately, the Constitution only protects from the government censorship.

however, what they are doing is editorial and section 230 should no longer apply to any tech company because of their censorship and "fact checkers" that couldn't fact check their assholes if they were staring at it in a mirror

A post from last year? WTF

yet every bullshit liberal/democratic post is fine... copy any anti-Trump post verbatim and insert biden's name and it will get flagged

Facebook is a private company, not a government or quasi government entity, or a public space like a park or sidewalk. They can “censor” whatever they want, just as a church, business, or other private property owner can restrict what happens on their property. Or just as a newspaper can reject any opinion pieces submitted by third parties. If someone doesn’t like how Facebook operates, don’t use it. Seems pretty simple. Just like if you don’t like CNN, FOX, etc., don’t watch them.

While I agree with you the problem is they aren’t consistent in their censorship nor do they have the ability to review every piece of content the same as any other social media but people rely on them for news.

They should stop Facebook from being able to promote news stories so people know it’s all opinions and not facts.

Realistically people should be able to know that it's opinions and not facts. Kind of like those old Weekly World News check stand newspapers with headlines that read "Mother gives birth to 100 lb baby". Those things would crack me up as a kid.

Who’s “they?” If you’re talking about the government, that WOULD be censorship. I’d rather private companies and people be able to “censor” or “promote” whatever they want than have some government bureaucrats or, even worse, elected hacks, decide what gets censored or promoted. We just went through four years with a demagogic president totally detached from the truth and the law. Imagine if he was your “they,” with the power to tell media platforms what they could and could not post or allow to be posted. Other countries have had that in the past and it usually doesn’t end well for a lot of people. No thanks.

If people unquestionably rely on a single source like Facebook (or insert any other social media platform here) for their “news,” then they are stupid. Plain and simple. You can’t legislate or regulate away stupidity.

While I agree with what you said, the fact that these platforms are now actively censoring content seems to take away from what protections that Section 230 offer them. If used to take down hate speech and the like, I don't think a sane person has any issues with that. But when they are actively "fact-checking" content and censoring based on their interpretations, they become editors. Where does that stop? Why even begin if you are protected against posts and claims made by individuals? This whole slippery slope of social media censorship often appears to be an effort on their part to promote certain ideologies instead of offering a platform for arguments to be made for all. They are inviting government intervention.

And yes, people are definitely stupid - the sheeple are our biggest problem.
