Facebook IS different.

8. I agree. While I'm not registered on either, I do access key twitter feeds by bookmarking their page

For all twitter's faults, they aren't even on the same plane.

2. It's hard to fight against bots helping to get Trump's message out n/t

3. I wonder what he thinks we are supposed to do about it?

And by the way, Don, where is all that incriminating information on Trump and Lindsey Graham you've been promising to drop for the last six months? You got a lot of Twitter followers out of your promises. How about showing us the money?

4. For starters, everybody could start the process of deleting their Facebook accounts

Every login makes Zuckerberg richer and allows this to continue.

5. its all just preaching to their choir, a giant FB circle jerk nt

6. I agree

but it sucks the low-information folks into the RW bullshitsphere. And based on their clucking habits they can be targeted with more Bullshit.

7. I detest Facebook with a passion. I have never registered and never will.

Yes, I'm fully aware of what it "offers" for people wanting to keep up with friends/family and how many of you will say you use and value it. The loss of privacy, the manipulation, the selling of your data, the corruption and the exploitation-- simply NOT worth it in my mind.

10. From Media Matters for America

https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/mark-zuckerberg-denies-facebook-right-wing-echo-chamber-facts-tell-different-story

Media Matters’ coverage illustrates just how much of a right-wing echo chamber Facebook has become.

*In August, Media Matters published a 19-month timeline of Facebook’s failures and reported that a pro-Trump PAC was being allowed to run hundreds of ads lying about Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s policy positions. Facebook also refused to take action for months on a manipulated video made to look like Biden was introducing a singer in blackface.

*We’ve found that on certain topics, such as reproductive rights, immigration, and trans issues, right-wing outlets have dominated the conversation on Facebook entirely, even when the information they publish is misleading or outright false.

*Despite bans on promoting anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy, the QAnon conspiracy movement, misleading claims about voting, and misinformation about the census, Facebook has struggled with enforcement and continued to enable such dangerous right-wing content to spread on its platform.

*Earlier this year, Facebook teamed up with Fox News for a coronavirus town hall, despite Fox’s long record of COVID-19 misinformation. (This follows last year’s exclusive interview between Zuckerberg and Fox anchor Dana Perino.)
