Thread: Facebook censors Diamond and Silk as 'unsafe to the community'

    Facebook censors Diamond and Silk as 'unsafe to the community'

    -Two sisters famous for praising President Trump say Facebook has deemed their videos dangerous.

    Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson are better known as "Diamond and Silk" to their hundreds of thousands of fans — one of whom is Trump. The sisters, who are black, campaigned for him in an election in which blacks overwhelmingly voted against the Republican. And the sisters continue to defend him against accusations of racism. ("Build that wall, build it tall, protect us all before this country falls," they once rapped)...

    ...Diamond and Silk said they spent months trying to get an explanation from Facebook. Last week, they shared excerpts of an email that they said the company sent them on Thursday:

    "The Policy team has came to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community," it read. "This decision is final and it is not appeal-able in any way."...

    I love Zuckerberg's deliberately evasive answers. Answering like a politician.

    The left is terrified at the thought of losing AA support. I think they already have lost that support though, that's why they are so focused on illegal aliens.

    So why doesn't someone start a new social site in competition with facebook, that won't play their shenanigans?

    Here are some alternatives:

    https://www.minds.com/

    https://higher.org/

    Facebook censors Diamond and Silk as 'unsafe to the community'-socialcross-jpg

    The first one (Minds) is actually becoming popular though I doubt if it has reached "Facebook" popularity. I registered with Minds but have yet to engage myself there. That will probably be the difficulty with most Facebook users. We all want an alternative and then when people provide us with one we still find it easier to stay with the one that is most familiar to us, despite the oppressive tactics that they use against us.

    It's possible. Look what happened to Myspace. But the problem is that people have a difficult time right now leaving the familiar atmosphere provided by FB, including myself. However, I intend to gradually work my way to using the alternatives presented above as time permits.

    The real answer is distribution, forums like this.

    Central authority will always be abused by those in charge.
