There are lots of whine bags splattered all over social media. However, the whiny little users, most of whom we can avoid, aren’t the only spoiled brats in the social media world. It seems the companies themselves have an inclination to be whiners.
What’s more, Facebook’s most recent “pity party” reeks of hypocrisy. On Friday, the Russian government began to tighten the noose around Facebook. This action was a response to Facebook having placed restrictions on four Russian state-linked media sources.
Well, it appears Facebook doesn’t think “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”. Facebook’s President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, whined, “Soon millions of ordinary Russians will find themselves cut off from reliable information.”
This is spreading it on pretty thick, considering Facebook and other social media platforms’ propensity to slam the door on any speech they don’t like. As a radical supporter of far-left liberal policies, Facebook has shadow-banned conservatives.
They bury posts with a hint of conservatism. Social media will suspend or cancel accounts of people who have alternative political views. Facebook, Twitter, and virtually every social media outlet, except President Trump’s soon to be launched Truth Social, censor contradictory viewpoints.
Certainly, Russia has not been earning high marks in the category of “playing well with others” recently. However, for Facebook to insist that they’re “put off” by the Russian government’s actions is the height of hypocrisy. However, it shouldn’t be surprising. That’s the way liberals operate.
They fact-check, censor, and silence anyone who doesn’t agree with their Marxist ideology. In the last five years, they’ve erased nearly 90 percent of all conservative content. But don’t turn the tables back on them. If you do, they might start to cry. We say “boohoo” on you, Facebook.
