Facebook: The Elites Oppression Playground
We are so lucky to be on Steemit now a days. The freedom to pretty much say and do what you want is the First Amendment at its best here on Steemit. The USA may not get a lot right but that Constitution was originally put together with the rights of the people in mind, sadly though it appears those rights do not extend anymore to the internet nor the laws of the land here in America.
Many years ago I fought the ongoing battle of the dying Myspace I used first when it came to social media. I literally believe I may have been one of the last hold outs to go towards Facebook because something in my gut just told me that place was bad news. But as life goes things do change and eventually just to keep up with my friends online I was left with no choice but to keep tabs on everyone by signing up for Facebook.
The early days, not so bad...didn't get the hype about it but I stuck with it. As time went on though and the years progressed, I found myself constantly getting blocks and bans from my profile due to running a horror fan community. Lets just say I was probably one of the more tame ones out there but sadly one of the most popular so I found myself a target a lot by Facebook and the weirdos out there trying to impose my freedom of speech on a subject I enjoyed talking about as a hobby. For awhile there I just thought this to be an issue with some users but as time went on and more digging into the laws of Facebook it was clear to me these guys are trying to rub out the freedoms we have in the USA.
On further investigation I come to find out that the rules in Facebook stand in sharp contrast to the United States’ First Amendment protections of free speech, in such obvious ways it appears to me that if its not on the agenda of Big Brother US Governments plate, its censored to oblivion.
Facebooks Hate Speech Regulations
I am a man with no prejudice in the world, I can thank my parents for that due to raising me with no vision of differences with skin color or beliefs in others in this world. This makes me a person that doesn't worry what others do nor butt my business in their lives, and this also encourages no from of hate within my blood thankfully.
It appears though that in Facebook there is regulations to not promote hate but to favor a more white form of prejudice vs other nationalities. Being a white guy here I just don't get that concept to snub out other nationalities posts of hate but let it ramble on if your of Caucasian decent, seems a bit unfair to not regulate whitey on this one as well.
Just to point out an example, not to start a race war here lol...these are two examples of two posts made on Facebook recently, one a bit more calling for death and one against racism but yet only one of the two was censored and removed.
In the wake of a terrorist attack in London earlier this month, a U.S. congressman wrote a Facebook post in which he called for the slaughter of “radicalized” Muslims. “Hunt them, identify them, and kill them,” declared U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican. “Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.”
Higgins’ plea for violent revenge went untouched by Facebook workers who scour the social network deleting offensive speech.
But a May posting on Facebook by Boston poet and Black Lives Matter activist Didi Delgado drew a different response.
“All white people are racist. Start from this reference point, or you’ve already failed,” Delgado wrote. The post was removed and her Facebook account was disabled for seven days.
Now I don't condone calling out a whole race as racists, I am white with no bone of that here but I do think its a tad extreme to block a person for that because once again she was exercising her rights of Freedom of Speech here. I may not back that belief but hey if you need to scream that out, do so.
On the other hand here we have a guy calling out on Facebook to kill a whole faction of people, and not even stating that there are some of those in that faction who are not terrorists per say. Terrorism is hell in the world but there are those who are radical minded Muslims that have yet to kill a soul but here this guy calls for murder and his post stays put for all to see? Oh wait he is a politician and I forgot, most likely Mark Zuckerberg is the Elite's lap dog seeing he also ordered at Facebook headquarters to exempt any of President Trump’s posts from censorship. Guess you have to be the oppressors to say whaever you want in this world now.
Its Only Facebook, What Does It Matter
There seems to be this strange consensus in the world now a days but citizens. This lull in the eyes to do anything about the rights we should have being taken away. See the system has figured it out well...put out a scare or dangerous enemy at us, make the people fearful and claim false protection by giving up their rights in return. Its gotten so bad that you might as well ask permission by the government to check your mailbox and at the rate we are going you might as well turn off your internet service because we are heading to a state of no freedom there at all.
Facebook is a test phase I believe. I think that crew in Facebook has bowed down to the beast in the governmental system and let them do whatever they please. If you speak against the system, and trust me I know this from personal bans and deleting of my posts on Facebook, your are silenced on that social media platform. The allowing of hate and murder on groups as I declared above, that is dead wrong to allow if your running around censoring people's beliefs in a non violent way.
If we keep using that system and allow them to keep stepping on us we will only end up more enslaved and more prisoners than free thinking people of the world. Its a tragedy to see manipulation in media but more so in the places I connect with family and friends. To me Mark Zuckerberg has sold himself and us out by these regulations he is letting them play with.
Steemit Needs To Take Over, So Does Free Internet
The blessing is this, we have platforms like Steemit right now where we can speak openly. We can say whatever we need to say and put the info out there as it should be allowed. How long we will have this is up to us honestly. We need to be proactive, spread the word and free others from the censorship beginning on the internet. There is platforms working on decentralized internet and we must invest in these most of all so we can keep our internet the way we want. They are trying to cut out our chances to speak with one another and help each other, that is immoral and wrong. Posts like this that your reading and I just made, it could be a thing of the past if we let the machine keep rolling on our rights and trust me it may seem a fantasy now but they are seriously in the law making rooms to begin that process as I type this.
Just remember the power of freedom of speech, its the simplest right you are born with but one you must protect at all costs. If that is taken away, God help us all!!!
By the way, I am resteeming this to FACEBOOK after post on my Steemit Blogger Central page there and on our Twitter. I fear no Elites, no immoral government, nor their bullying threats. I abide by the laws but damn it if think your gonna keep taking my legal rights away to make me a constant prisoner. I am sending this message out there in hopes it wakes people up.
Much love my fellow freedom fighting Steemians, I got your back as much as you have had mine!
