Diamond & Silk do not understand how Facebook works either

So, you see Diamond and Silk as "dangerous" and feel that a private business should be able to pick and choose their customers based on their customers beliefs?

The point went over your head, and your premise is wrong.

Im not really sure how you got that from what I said?

I don't defend either them nor facebook. I don't believe either side without more compelling proof then he said, she said
I am swayed toward believing Zuckerberg more than them considering Zuckerbergs claim was made to congress under oath

^ This. I'd never heard of them and then somebody said they are on the Laura Ingraham show?

Explains why I've never heard of them.

The first time I saw them was pretty soon after the election, and at first I thought they were an "SNL"-type spoof. But they aren't, and I think a lot of people find them a hoot.

This thread suffers from an excess of claims and a dearth of links. I do know that Diamond and Silk said that FB had "demonetized" them and had explained that they were deemed "unsafe for the community," I think, and that later FB reversed its decision. I've also read that Diamond and Silk say that while FB claims to have been in touch with them, they haven't. But I haven't read anything in a few days--has this changed?

Oh my goodness Diamond and Silk voice their own opinions. And there is nothing that they have stated that should have been deemed "unsafe to the community" by facebook and stopped alerting their followers of their latest videos.

Facebook has apologized to Diamond and Silk and said they received that message in error. Most thinking people know why they were censored. They are two black woman who are big supporters of Trump.

That is not why they were censored, which is the point of the thread.

If you thought Congress was bad, Diamond & Silk are leading the conservative battle against Facebook's supposedly anti-conservative stances. If you've watched Fox News at night you've probably seen them complaining on Laura Ingram's now ad free program, because advertisers don't want to touch her with a ten foot pole.

It seems that all this whining amounts to a change in facebook ad policies. It hasn't stopped Fox News from constantly running the narrative though.

This is a good breakdown from both highly liberal sites thinkprogress and mediamatters. Yes, I understand the problems with using the source material, but consider the targets and the fact that what is reported on those sites are facts. What Diamond & Silk are whining about is their untrue opinion.

Question, does anyone on here actually like them?

Facebook openly stated that they were on the democrats side.

How many times did "Zucker" go to the Obama White House?

Yep..............................nothing to see here folks.................go on home.

According to your sources Media Matters and Think Progress yeah right. You know anyone who would take those two sources seriously isn't interested in facts.

It doesn't matter who likes them. They generate a lot of views, so somebody does.

I've seen them a couple times. I think they're sort of funny in a black comedy sort of way. They are not, however, any danger to the community.

Yet you say this knowing full well that what Diamond & Silk are saying is only an opinion.

Define danger? 2 black females who wandered off the progressive plantation in support of Trump, certain bigots might find very dangerous to their agenda. Progressives are afraid of independent thinking women and blacks. They are sexist and racists whether they want to admit it or not.

So we measure the opinions of thinkprogress/mediamatters vs Diamond & Silk. One sources is whining on Cable TV about Facebook censorship, the other actually does research into the policies FB changed. Hmmmm. I wonder which is more credible. I for one don't like blabbering idiots on TV. Well researched timelines about what happened always win in my book.

It was Facebook who stated D&S were a danger to the community, not I.

You'd rather believe whiners because they whine more loudly than FB who said they did this by mistake and are no longer doing it. Weird.

I didn't say I did or did not believe either side. You apparently though are completely comfortable with your uninformed opinion.

You can say so, but because you have yet to call out diamond and silk for lying as strongly as you have Zuckerberg, I don't believe you.

Fox News has really gotten bad. I tried watching it the other night just to see what they were spewing. It was like watching Kim Jung Un TV.
