Facebook Filtering out ALL POLITICAL Content In Distraction Tactic for Elites [Big League Politics]

[Big League Politics] Facebook is moving to eliminate the proliferation of all content related to politics and government in its feed algorithm, hoping to distract users from matters the platform identifies as reserved for ruling class elites.

It’s expected that the platform will emphasize ‘lifestyle’ content in its stead, with users redirected to images of dogs, softcore pornography, snacks, and rap music.

“It’s important to note that we’re not removing political content from Facebook altogether,” said Aastha Gupta, Facebook’s product management director, in a statement. “Our goal is to preserve the ability for people to find and interact with political content on Facebook, while respecting each person’s appetite for it at the top of their News Feed.”

While those who use Facebook for purposes of political news now stand to lose their voice and source of information, the trend is merely the latest predictable move to turn Facebook into a propaganda institution for the ruling oligarchy. Facebook is no longer a place for citizens of so-called western democracies to criticize their leaders, point out the systemic corruption within western governments, and hold the oligarchs who lead global corporations to account.

In Facebook’s last earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted the platform was seeking to disincentivize political expression broadly, citing the need to bow in obedience before President Joe Biden and stifle domestic criticism of his governance.

#3 Bongino pointed out that FacistBook doesn't seem to have a problem with New York Democrats claiming Election and Tallying fraud this month. No problem at all.
So you can drop the 'ALL' political content claim.

#4 When's Biden going to have all the social media bigs up to White House for a blue crab fest and some Delaware style peach pie? That's how things get decided, yes?

#5 All Leftist candidates can be pseudo-endorsed by "Issue Advocacy Messages". In the same manner that the Labor Unions and Left-wing PACs dodged the campaign finance limits for decades. Right-wingers will be swiftly censored.

#6 FacistBook doesn't seem to have a problem with New York Democrats claiming Election and Tallying fraud this month. No problem at all.

Last summer during the Democrats' NY state presidential primaries, the Democrats rejected 21% of their own delegates' mail-in ballots for irregularities, fraud and other violations.

Twenty-one percent. Of their own voters.

And these assholes tell us to shut up and accept a general election outcome in which the rejection rate for heavily-Democrat mail-in ballots was less than 1/100th the rate that they themselves certified, just a few months before.

F--- this nonsense. No election in this country in which half or more ballots are mailed in can possibly be legitimate.
