I stopped using Facebook over 7 years ago. I have no use for them and they have turned out to be an evil, manipulative entity.

Facebook under fire for encouraging border crisis with ads for human smugglers, cartels: Rep. Kat Cammack

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., sent a scathing letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday for trying to "silence" conservative views on his platform while allowing human smugglers and cartels to "openly" operate on the social media site.

The Florida freshman, fresh off a visit to the southern border, accused Facebook and other social media companies of perpetuating the border crisis by providing a means for drug cartels and coyotes to post paid advertisements that encourage migrants to cross into the United States illegally.

"Facebook’s role in the crisis at the border is urgent and must be addressed immediately," Cammack wrote Zuckerberg in a letter first obtained by Fox News............

Fakebook is taking PAID ADVERTISING from criminals seeking co-conspirators to violate federal immigration law?

That makes Fakebook itself a co-conspirator.

Sounds like Zuckerboy is setting himself up for a nice juicy RICO prosecution.

If only there were any Americans left in the Department of Just Us.

Everyone needs to boycott them, they are of little use.  Certainly we can stay in touch with friends via e-mail or text messaging -- yep it's considered old school, but in light of this and banning Trump and other conservatives, why should anyone really need to use them??

I've never used Fakebook or Twatter.   You Tube is good for astronomy videos and huskies.

What's a google?
