my latest bust from the social media ministry of truth

Or, as my lifelong hero with Frank Zappa would put it: "My favorite confrontation with authority"

I posted this on my FB wall and got a 30 day suspension. Question; who are the judges that determine why this violated community standards? My sole measure is whether this statement is accurate and it's 100% accurate. I demand to confront my accusers!

(Not really, but I wish I could send my potential posts to the FB Ministry of Truth to check if my post would get me busted again. Self censorship and it's time to watch what I post on FB. (Thanks to Ari Fleischer circa 2003-2004.)




When a right-winger says, "Tucker Carlson has a huge audience," I reply, "So did Joseph Goebbels."





Which leads me to wonder if FB can bust me for DU comments about FB? Which seems plausible because FB, google and youtube seem to be run by the same entity? Kinda like anti-trust laws have gone the way of progressive taxation?
