For all of the jackholes who celebrate certain types of censorship and pretend Facebook is not breaching their contract:

"In recent days there has been much buzz over the allegation that Facebook censors its "trending" news stories to drown out conservative and right-leaning news and websites, even if those stories are in fact trending across the Web. Former Facebook "news curators" – the editors responsible for identifying those trending stories, writing up short descriptions and adding a link to the stories in the trending section – said there was a concerted effort to push Left-wing and liberal news sites, even if their stories weren't trending.

But now, as Breitbart News is reporting, advocates for trimming immigration into the U.S. say those claims are just the beginning.

The immigration control advocates say that Facebook also suppresses users who promote material that could ultimately undermine the social media giant's lobbying efforts to expand immigration law to include more [cheaper] foreign labor. They also say that FB has stopped being a fair communications facilitator and now is, instead, a "political combatant" that is used much the way Left-wing academics use college campuses to trash conservatism and promote all manner of liberal causes.

Natural News censored too
As Breitbart reported further:

"The allegations raise difficult questions about the new media landscape, where multinational, multi-billion dollar corporations simultaneously exert extraordinary control over people's access to information and perception of world events, while at the same time lobbying for controversial changes to federal law that would expand their profits at the expense of the very people who use their service."

"Facebook is intentionally suppressing our traffic and hiding our stories in people's newsfeeds," said Patty McMurray, co-founder of the group 100% Fed Up.

"[The censorship] has everything to do with immigration," McMurray added. "When we started covering immigration and began promoting reports from the Refugee Resettlement Watch, all of a sudden our [Facebook] engagement dropped even though our followers were growing by the day. We couldn't figure out why our page was crashing and burning."

"Facebook's usual mode of operation is to sandbag the communications of immigration reduction groups in a way that we can't [immediately] detect," noted William Gheen, founder of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) grassroots organization. "You can't defend yourself against censorship if you're not even aware of its taking place."

For our part, here at Natural News, we have witnessed Facebook suppress our stories on vaccines, especially during the recent outbreak of measles at Disneyland. Our own stories were suppressed and sequestered from the site's pages.

We're obviously not alone. In August, Facebook banned four reports that demonstrated the negative impact of mass migration on American jobs and wages. (Facebook officials called that an 'error.') The reports, all based on documentable, factual data, were authored by the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan organization.

'It's a total cover-up'
"[It's] disturbing that Facebook, owned by immigration-expansionist Mark Zuckerberg, has banned four reports published by the center ... pertaining to jobs and immigration," the organization wrote at the time.

Even after Facebook said the bans were a mistake, CIS remained skeptical.

"Facebook has still not responded directly to the Center for Immigration Studies as to why four of our job studies were marked 'abusive' and blocked. They did, however, advise media outlets there was an error in their system," Marguerite Telford, a spokesperson for CIS, told Breitbart.

"It is interesting that of the many reports published by the Center, only the reports relating to immigration's impact on the U.S. job market were blocked by Facebook," the CIS spokesman said. "The government data showed that American workers are clearly impacted by high levels of immigration– information imperative to the immigration policy debate."

"Every time I threaten to take legal action [against Facebook's censorship], I get the same response: 'Glitch. Mistake. Sorry.'" said anti-amnesty filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch. "It is total censorship, and there is no question it is an effort by those at Facebook who want to muffle the sounds of people like myself," Lynch said. "It's a total cover up."

pretend Facebook is not breaching their contract:

If you can wade through the facebook TOS agreement and find a term in it where they promise to be an unbiased news media source, I would be quite surprised.

The court of public opinion is the only control over facebook. I don't see any laws being broken. Private sector companies may have all the political bias they want. It's like going to the gun store and putting up liberal, pro-gun control fliers on their bulletin board. As soon as you leave, they are getting ripped down. And that's not illegal.

What I find amusing about all of this is that people voluntarily surrender certain information about themselves, certain levels of privacy, when they sign up to use Facebook.

Why?

The only real reason I can come up with is because other people (friends, family) are using it. It caters to, and tends to develop, narcissitic traits that are inherent in everyone...some more than others of course. Facebook makes you think you are popular when in fact no one on your friends may even be reading what you post.

Would those of you who are supporting Facebook be equally pleased if Facebook censored stories that were pro-illegal or pro-Bernie or pro-homosexual or pro-transsexual? Of course not. You'd scream bloody murder and cry racism, and Obama would give a special national address. But keep telling yourselves that you're ideas represent God's opinion.

The simple fact is that anyone supporting censorship is not a real American, but some type of Socialist, Communist, Fascist who wants everyone to submit their freedom to the central banks. Know that you are the enemy of freedom, and when mankind rises up again and reclaims that which "we hold self evident" like it always does, it will be you who are on the wrong side of history. You're the modern day Marxists.

Facebook is not supposed to be Liberal Facebook. If it is, we should have a Conservative Facebook.

The Second Amendment is part of the Constitution - it is not some weird idea held by certain individuals. It is not a Conservative thing in and of itself.

As if everyone on Facebook is a Liberal!

Liberalism is a form of insanity whereby a person believes in total personal freedom and ZERO economic freedom. So basically they feel that if they decide to have a sex change that someone else should be forced to pay for it. Conservatives who believe the opposite are equally insane. The only real parties are Statists (no freedom) and Libertarians (total freedom). Anything in between is a sick form of compromise.

To say that being forced at gunpoint to pay someone else's bills equals freedom is clearly a form of insanity. I rest my case.

So start one.

Don't ever go to law school, Neil. The professor will get you talking, and bait you into being the first poor soul who makes the mistake of using the F word in class. That F word has four letters, and is the worst word you can ever use in regard to the law. That word is Fair. The professor will subject you to a 45-minute public interrogation over attempting to define what that word exactly means, which of course is impossible. The lesson is that your own personal sense of fairness and the law are two completely different things.

I'm curious, to those of you who claim that a private business like Facebook has every right to refuse to do business with Conservatives: do you also support the right for a private bakery owned by Christians to refuse to make a cake for a homosexual couple? Or for a business to only hire white people? Or for an apartment to only allow people with jobs? Or for a club to only allow men? OF COURSE YOU DON'T YOU F*CKING HYPOCRITES.

Gays, racial minorities, and women have all been declared to be members of a protected class, by various Supreme Court decisions. Conservative white guys are not a protected class. So yes, it is ok to discriminate against you.

I'm talking about the law. You're talking about your own ethics and morals. You're welcome to disagree with the law all you like, but that does not change the law.

Thanks for answering for me and anyone else. Since you think you know the answers before asking the question, how about you get lost.

I'm curious: 1) Whom do you think should decide for the business owner? 2) What qualifies that party to decide what is best for a business? 3) Would you want to do business with someone who already refused you for reasons that offended you? 4) What decisions would you, as a sovereign individual, prefer to defer to another party?
