Didn't know criticizing a company was a violation of the terms of service. These corporate ***** have no soul.

Facebook is a cancer on democracies.

I left Facebook a year ago and I haven’t looked back since and now feel so much better, if everyone left Facebook life would be so much simpler and better, but yes, Facebook is a cancer, instead of bucking them another way is to leave them.

How do you feel about Twitter?

How do you feel about Twitter?

I feel that although the concept of giving an equal voice to everyone seems like a good idea on paper, in effect it really isn't, and bestowing the same gravitas to the opinions of experts and those of anonymous randos on any subject is mind-boggling.

who determines who is an "expert" and why do all the "expert" opinions match liberal talking points to the exact detail?

Social media platforms decide who they consider experts to be. They became content providers- like when they banned any talk of the Wuhan lab leak because "experts" said it wasnt true.

Yet now that is much closer to being proven true than it is false. "experts" can be, and often are, wrong these days.

who determines who is an "expert"

Several years of study, experience and work in a particular field.

and why do all the "expert" opinions match liberal talking points to the exact detail?

Yes, I too often wonder why most of all intelligent, cultured and creative people are liberals.

Social media platforms decide who they consider experts to be.

And that's the whole problem.

If you'd rather trust the opinion of "@XXXuchihasaskue2005" for advice on how to treat you thyroid cancer rather than an actual endocrinologist, that's perfectly fine, be my guest. But pretending that the opinions of the two on the matter have the same value is simply insane.

Other experts. That should be obvious.

Ahh, no.

Liberals are smart enough to understand experts know more than they do.

Joke of the day.

This isn’t true. You’re basing this off the Republican “report” recently released. Too bad it doesn’t rely on facts or evidence, just republicans’ feelings.

Pure non-expert liberal opinion.
