Diamond and Silk to Testify Before House Judiciary Committee over Facebook Censorship
« on: April 21, 2018, 12:44:43 am »
by Ben Kew 20 Apr 2018
Popular pro-Trump internet duo Diamond and Silk will testify before the House Judiciary Committee over growing concerns that social media companies such as Facebook are routinely censoring and suppressing conservative content.

The duo, whose real names are Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, will attend a panel alongside Corynne McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and CEO of the News Media Alliance David Chavern to “examine social media filtering and policing practices.”

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a leading voice on social media censorship who grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the issue last week, will also testify before the committee. Rep. Blackburn recently received President Trump’s endorsement in her bid to become Senator from Tennessee.

For what purpose?  So the gov't can tell a private company how it must be run?

Plus, the cool kids don’t use Facebook anymore. It’s for parents and grandparents. Twitter and Insty are where people are.

Well shit, I didn't know it had to be a fight.  I wasn't prepared.  I don't know what's good about the gov't having hearings on how a private company is run.

In the long run, probably nothing good.  But it gives good feelz. 

As far as Bookface is concerned, I think the Zuckmeister did a lot more damage to the brand with the data farming than with the lefty bias.

Agreed.  And if someone doesn't like what's been known that they've been doing for a long time now, then just don't use Facebook.  Will the next Dem majority senate call in Fox news?  Okay, I couldn't think of a good conservative leaning company.
