Facebook Shuts Down Pro-Populist Italian Pages Before EU Elections

Original Article

Posted By: Muguy, 5/14/2019 8:59:03 AM

According to Italian media, the majority of the pages supported the populist parties La Lega (The League) and the 5-Star Movement (M5S) — who currently govern Italy in a temporary coalition. Facebook has justified its dramatic move by claiming that the sites shared fake news, so-called “hate speech”, and “divisive content” regarding immigrants, vaccines, and Jewish people.

Comments:

The "masters of the universe" at work to subvert free speech to try to silence those who don´t agree with them.

Facebook has become too big and powerful to be trusted to partisan geeks. I don´t want the government controlling it either. The best thing would be for enough people to terminate their accounts that Facebook would fail, and the honest alternatives would have a fair chance to compete.

Discrimination is now allowed if you defend it by saying it was hate speech.

I was thrown off of FB five times for what they determined hate speech. There are groups and races protected on FB that carry on with their agenda and damn you if you comment about it. I´ve had post taken down that show images of 9-11 World Trade Towers. It happens all the time my speech is hate if I disagree with the FB Gestapo.

In my world, social media does not exist. From what I have seen and read, my life is all the better for not having it.

I read (and occasionally comment on) a lot of news on the Web, but I generally stay away from Facebook, Twitter, etc.
In the last year or so, I have read article after article where various people and groups are being shadow-banned, banned, and kicked off of Facebook and Twitter.

It seems to me that there is a screaming opportunity staring us in the face.
Someone PLEASE start and widely publicize a website, or series of websites, to use INSTEAD of Facebook and Twitter!

Is there something already operating which I am not aware? I know there was Gab, but I have the understanding that Gab kind of flopped.

Anyone with any information, please chip in!

So, isn´t the whole idea behind FB that they aren´t a publisher?

Yet, aren´t they acting in editorial manner which lends closer to a publisher instead of just a platform?

House Republicans on Monday night offered a detailed critique of what they called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “socialist wish list” in House Democrats’ $2.5 trillion proposal for responding to the coronavirus outbreak. “Speaker Pelosi unveiled legislation aimed at exploiting the COVID-19 public health crisis by attempting to force the inclusion of a socialist wish list of policies that have nothing to do with the public health and economic emergency,” said House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican. After poring over the 1,400-page proposal, Mr. Scalise offered his characterization of Republicans’ objections to the following items:

‘Ballot Harvesting’ Without ‘Any Limit’

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s new stimulus bill would mandate nationwide “ballot harvesting,” allowing party operatives to return other people’s ballots to polling places without “any limit” on the number of ballots. “Ballot harvesting” was legalized in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections. It allows anyone to drop off someone else’s mail-in ballot at a polling station. There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or identification requirements. Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018, helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.

Senate Democrats are trying to use a national emergency to force taxpayers to fund some of their most controversial and radical policies. They have recommended hundreds of millions of dollars in pork barrel funding — including $35 million in funding for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It’s on page 76 of the massive document. Click here to read for yourself. Democrats did not explain how funding a fancy theater would help stop the spread of the coronavirus. But that amount pales in comparison to the $300 million allocated for the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s infamous pot-smoking incident last year prompted NASA to order a mandatory review of the federal contractor’s workplace culture — but taxpayers, not the company, are bearing the cost, according to contracting records reviewed by POLITICO. The space agency agreed to pay SpaceX $5 million in May to cover the cost of the review, which includes educating its employees and ensuring they are following strict guidelines for federal contractors barring illegal drug use. The decision which had not previously been reported, struck some space industry insiders as a highly unusual expenditure

The press has made a big deal about an argumentative leftist from San Francisco walking up to Ted Cruz and trying to browbeat him about the migrant surge..snip.. being in an airport line, Cruz could hardly walk away from her, so the up-close and quite possibly bad-breathed tirade went on and on.

Democrats’ Leftward Turn Was a Reaction

The consensus view on the right is that Hillary Clinton was a primary reason for Donald Trump’s success in 2016. But not all conservatives agree about why that was. For devotees of the Trump-as-savior narrative, Clinton — and all the allegedly nefarious forces at her beck and call — was a uniquely formidable opponent. Defeating her required a different kind of Republican, one who’d be willing to fight as dirty and as tough as the Democrats. This was a “Flight 93 election,” and Trump was the hero we needed to storm the cockpit.

O'Rourke's plan is built around three parts. One would focus on increasing voter turnout. The plan would allow same-day voter registration. Twenty states and Washington DC allow same-day registration now.​ Sixteen and 17 year olds would be automatically pre-registered.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
