Diamond & Silk do not understand how Facebook works either

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.

Maybe you are not aware that facebook has apologized to Diamond and Silk and told them they were wrongfully targeted.

Tsk Tsk. Diamond and Silk at this time are not accepting their apology. Boom!

They not only are not accepting FB apology, they have denied that FB ever apologized and are lying about what FB did. I don't get why they are so upset, they certainly are using this story for mass public attention. I'm not seeing any censorship going on. Just plain lying from these two clowns.

What, specifically, have they lied about?

FB said the notice was sent out by mistake, and was not sent out due to their content on their pages.
Diamond and Silk says it was deliberate and it was sent out so that FB could suppress them.

Do you believe talking heads or one of largest companies in the world?

I did not call Zuckerberg out for lying or anything else for that matter. If anything I have been defending him.

You said you are inclined to believe Zuckerberg because he was under oath in front of Congress, and that it would have been stupid if Zuckerberg lied to Congress. Then you wrote this gem. Which I'm not sure why...

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.

I have yet to see you bash Diamond & Silk in a similar manner. The silence is telling what side you prefer.

Do two wrongs make a right?

The truth is the key. Not propaganda vs. propaganda.

From everything I have seen, Zuck was not under oath, meaning he is free to lie like a Persian Rug...

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?

I like them, they’re true America first and they say it like it is. What’s not to like?

Also while Diamond and Silk are only complaining, with very little if any facts whatsoever. These publications looked into the issue. Facebook, may have sent a wrong message at one point, but does it matter that these two idiots are continuing to claim that something is happening to their pages when it isn't ongoing?

If you’re a liberal you just called 2 BLACK WOMEN idiots, isn’t that what liberals call HATE speech, you better read your liberal hate America handbook.
It’s not just Facebook censoring conservatives, it’s other sites too, I guess y’all don’t want different opinions on things.

If you're talking about whether I believe Diamond and Silk or instead FB, I don't know. If you're asking whether I believe two individuals over an enormous business, I lean toward believing the individuals over the org.

Now respond to what I asked for please, the specific lies you believe Diamond and Silk have told and the evidence you have the FB is telling the truth.

I already posted the facts, it's not my fault that you even refuse to click on the links I posted, but it's vividly clear that Diamond & Silk are lying and that FB is NOT anti-conservative. FB has 2 billion users and these two idiots are the ONLY ones who are being suppressed? Also I find their definition of suppressed entirely laughable.

They are idiots because they are spreading lies and fear-mongering. I call PETA lovers idiots for wearing jeans too. Also Not a liberal.

They have no proof that Facebook is suppressing them. If they did, let them sue FB. So far they haven't.

Facebook explained what happened and said this was done by mistake and is no longer happening. Yet they are acting like it's still happening. That's called lying. See?

Laura's commercial free program? You could have fooled me as I record her and zap the commercials and there seemed to be the normal amount of them to zap every night this past week. Her program was commercial free last night as was Sean Hannity's immediately preceding Laura and Shannon Bream immediately following Laura because they were covering live the military strike on Syria and discussing the immediate aftermath of that. Fox generally does not run commercials during breaking news of such important general interest. But I'm pretty darn sure that there are plenty of advertisers who pay for a major cable audience such as Laura's program pulls.

And yes, due to the intense bias, distortion, and general dishonesty of Think Progress and Media Matters, you'll have to come up with better sources to convince me that Diamond and Silk as well as a number of other conservative sources were not banned by Facebook because they are conservative. Zuckerburg admitted that was done in his congressional testimony but said it was a mistake and they have rectified it. Diamond and Silk, yesterday, said they are still having problems but their page has been restored.

I think they are making a much larger point, that a private company has opened up their product to the public and their has a been a long standing practice of allowing public use of the product so the private company is now held to the standard of a public forum and 1st amendment and 14th amendment protection therefor apply that the company must protect people free speech and not hinder it, this is regardless of their terms of service contract.

1. What exactly in the Think Progress piece or the Media Matters piece was false?

2. This was what Think Progress and Media Matters reported. They also dug deeper into the FB policy changes that seem to have these two triggered and found much ado about nothing. As per usual when Conservatives play the victim card.

So you link extremely politically slanted sites to back up your opinion that it's okay to censor someone for expressing their opinion because you don't like their opinion. You also claim that they weren't targeted for their political view when Facebook admitted that they were. Is that about right? I am just trying to get out of the weeds here, to clarify things.
