Well my latest account was banned on Facebook, or at least, they will not let me continue without giving them a cell phone number. This account lasted quite a while and I can only guess why it was banned this time. It could have something to do with the Democratic primaries? I don't even know when they are but I have been lashing out hard against people attacking Bernie Sanders ruthlessly with lies and crazy talk while treating Michael Bloomberg with kid gloves or not even talking about him. Some of those pages seem to be a total psy op, such as one called "Americans against the Democratic and Republican Parties". Its like they are paid for by Bloomberg.
In any case I think it is sad and dangerous how much social media companies like Fascist Book control modern political discourse.
And its crazy how they keep demanding my phone number and real name, as if they need it what with all the sheep that give all that up willingly. Or as if all these people who gave their real names and phone numbers are somehow responsible and honest for doing it....they aren't.
My questions are: Do you worry about the power of social media companies and how they control or steer public discourse? Do you think something needs to be done to rein them in? Also, do you think anonymity and privacy should be a right even on social media platforms?
