    Facebook is erasing popular alternative media pages that had millions of likes and suspending anti-war and anti-police brutality accounts, in coordination with Twitter. I interviewed @MaxBlumenthal, who warned this is part of a larger political crackdownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiBKj1RTS30 …

        Facebook has been doing this, at least since 2013. Native American groups and pages got caught up in those sweeps pretty often. Facebook just changes metrics to suit themselves.

        Twitter have also suspended US @PMBeers page, which is totally uncalled for, yet a fake page (using her name and photo) which is horrible and homophobic has stayed up since 2014.

        Is this the time for someone to make a social media platform for these issues? Any wealthy left wingers out there? Programmers?

        He might want to appear like an outsider but he is just as establishment as the Clinton's.

        So these private companies SHOULDN’T have the right to censor content? Is that right?

        You should interview civil liberties organizations like @ACLU and ask why they remain silent in the face of clear #FirstAmendment violations.

        Unfortunately, the #FirstAmendment applies to government and the governed and not corporations.
