Let me being by saying, Patty and I have experienced censorship in the form of being blocked from Facebook for no reason. It just so happens that it was a post regarding Muslims that was shared from another website. Do we not have the right to oppose the invasion of Muslims by the thousands into our Country? Merkel is forcing 800,000 Muslims upon her citizens – I would have to say that the citizens of Germany should be outraged and have every right to speak out against this invasion.

On a personal note, the first time I was banned from Facebook it was for a meme with a quote from Thomas Sowell. Is Sowell offensive to anyone at all? I think not!

The other thing that drives me crazy is the blatant porn on Facebook. It took me about two seconds to find just two examples of porn that really is disgusting but Facebook’s selective censorship of what they consider not up to their community standards is ridiculous. SO I CAN’T POST FACTS AND VIDEO ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE INVASION OF THE WEST BY MUSLIMS BUT…BLATANT PORN IS OK. Here are the two examples I found but I’ve renamed the pages for obvious reasons: (WARNING GRAPHIC)

DISGUSTING PAGE OF THE YEAR

If you go to this Facebook page just scroll down and the list of pornographic Facebook pages is solo long it’s unreal! This Facebook page must be the big kahuna of pages for all the other ones: GROSS ME OUT 

Is FREEDOM OF SPEECH on Facebook a thing of the past? Well, if it was up to German Chancellor Merkel it would be…

Reuters reported on September 10th that Merkel wanted censorship on anti-immigrant Facebook posts:

“When people stir up sedition on social networks using their real name, it’s not only the state that has to act, but also Facebook as a company should do something against these paroles,” Merkel told regional newspaper Rheinische Post. She said Facebook already had the necessary code of conduct, but there was a lack of control and enforcement. “The rules need to be implemented,” Merkel said.

FAST FORWARD TO THE UN LUNCHEON LAST SATURDAY:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe’s refugee crisis.

On the sidelines of a United Nations luncheon on Saturday, Merkel was caught on a hot mic pressing Zuckerberg about social media posts about the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany, the publication reported.

The Facebook CEO was overheard responding that “we need to do some work” on curtailing anti-immigrant posts about the refugee crisis. “Are you working on this?” Merkel asked in English, to which Zuckerberg replied in the affirmative before the transmission was disrupted.

In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have washed up on Europe’s shores, seeking asylum from the raging civil war in their homeland. As Europe’s largest economy, Germany has sheltered the majority of them, leading to widespread objections within the country.

Earlier this month, Facebook vowed to clean up what it deemed was racist content on the German version of its website. At the time, the social network said it would partner with a non profit group to oversee hate postings.

Yet any action from Facebook is likely to stoke concerns about free speech. In the past, the social network has come under suspicion for suppressing or deleting posts and groups that advocate unpopular beliefs.
