Yeah, well many of married types don't have a lot of agency in that.
Wives get pissed when you close out your account. Buddy of mine actually did it and was in the dog house for a week, for example.
Wanted to mention that Protonmail is probably deep captured, uses Google ReCaptcha (so does Odyssee! So I can't make an account there, or wasn't a few weeks back).
Bd6r saysHaving facesucker acct benefits Zucker who worked hard to "elect" Bidet and to censor anything remotely truthful

I don't get the FB hate. It's no different than someone taking the vax if they want to.
protonmail has sale on their account
Sale? I don't pay for Protonmail and it works fine.
NPR bashing FB for hour saying it spreads radical right wing stuff and FB needs to be reigned in. This doesn't sound logical since FB is left wing and tool of CIA. Only thing I can think of is FB user population is older and gen x and boomers that use it are seen as a threat.
I haven't had a FB in years maybe 8 guessing don't miss one bit! You will keep in touch with the people you are meant to! Time is money!
Trust me life is so much better. Yeah not sure why the wifes or whatever like to show off shit. Life your life in real life.

In April 2020, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci help in “facilitating” decisions regarding lockdown measures in the US, shows private emails exchanged between the two. ...
This is not the only time Zuckerberg and Fauci have communicated privately, although the latter denied that he interacted with the Facebook chief even after other emails surfaced to show them discuss a coronavirus “information” hub being set up on the giant social media site as a means to steer the messaging in the desired direction.
The content of these emails that became public was also redacted, with some interpretations of the missing text suggesting it was Zuckerberg offering to censor particular topics around coronavirus. ...
Regardless, observers now say that the emails show how powerful private entities, said to have potential to sway public opinion, and the government in the US can effectively collude behind the scenes.
It’s also noteworthy that Zuckerberg – whose foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, reportedly spent millions to prop up Joe Biden’s campaign – is often the target of criticism by liberal media and Democrats as “not doing enough.”

It is quite clear that FB censors the Right and carries the propaganda of the left. The Left accusing FB of Right wing bias is just the Left's way of trying to convince the public that Facebook is not wholly owned and controlled by the Left.
Rapid Response:
Open letter from The BMJ to Mark Zuckerberg
Dear Mark Zuckerberg,
We are Fiona Godlee and Kamran Abbasi, editors of The BMJ, one of the world’s oldest and most influential general medical journals. We are writing to raise serious concerns about the “fact checking” being undertaken by third party providers on behalf of Facebook/Meta.
In September, a former employee of Ventavia, a contract research company helping carry out the main Pfizer covid-19 vaccine trial, began providing The BMJ with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails. These materials revealed a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety. We also discovered that, despite receiving a direct complaint about these problems over a year ago, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites.
The BMJ commissioned an investigative reporter to write up the story for our journal. The article was published on 2 November, following legal review, external peer review and subject to The BMJ’s usual high level editorial oversight and review.[1]
But from November 10, readers began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. Some reported being unable to share it. Many others reported having their posts flagged with a warning about “Missing context ... Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.” Those trying to post the article were informed by Facebook that people who repeatedly share “false information” might have their posts moved lower in Facebook’s News Feed. Group administrators where the article was shared received messages from Facebook informing them that such posts were “partly false.”
Readers were directed to a “fact check” performed by a Facebook contractor named Lead Stories.[2]
We find the “fact check” performed by Lead Stories to be inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible.
-- It fails to provide any assertions of fact that The BMJ article got wrong
-- It has a nonsensical title: “Fact Check: The British Medical Journal Did NOT Reveal Disqualifying And Ignored Reports Of Flaws In Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Trials”
-- The first paragraph inaccurately labels The BMJ a “news blog”
-- It contains a screenshot of our article with a stamp over it stating “Flaws Reviewed,” despite the Lead Stories article not identifying anything false or untrue in The BMJ article
-- It published the story on its website under a URL that contains the phrase “hoax-alert”
We have contacted Lead Stories, but they refuse to change anything about their article or actions that have led to Facebook flagging our article.
We have also contacted Facebook directly, requesting immediate removal of the “fact checking” label and any link to the Lead Stories article, thereby allowing our readers to freely share the article on your platform.
There is also a wider concern that we wish to raise. We are aware that The BMJ is not the only high quality information provider to have been affected by the incompetence of Meta’s fact checking regime. To give one other example, we would highlight the treatment by Instagram (also owned by Meta) of Cochrane, the international provider of high quality systematic reviews of the medical evidence.[3] Rather than investing a proportion of Meta’s substantial profits to help ensure the accuracy of medical information shared through social media, you have apparently delegated responsibility to people incompetent in carrying out this crucial task. Fact checking has been a staple of good journalism for decades. What has happened in this instance should be of concern to anyone who values and relies on sources such as The BMJ.
We hope you will act swiftly: specifically to correct the error relating to The BMJ’s article and to review the processes that led to the error; and generally to reconsider your investment in and approach to fact checking overall.
Best wishes,
Fiona Godlee, editor in chief
Kamran Abbasi, incoming editor in chief
The BMJ
That's how it's worked for 30 years by claiming our "news" networks are anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian.
British Medical Journal criticizes Facebook over “inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible” “fact-check” used to censor
The article covered "data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial" and is being censored on Facebook. ...
The editor of The British Medical Journal (BMJ), one of the world’s oldest and most respected medical journals, has written a letter to Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg to bring to his attention an “incorrect” fact-check on one of its reports.
The report was titled: “Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial.”
A former employee at Ventavia, a research company that helped with the trials of the Pfizer Covid vaccine, provided The BMJ with dozens of internal documents, photos, email, and recordings, that revealed “a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety,” according to the letter.
“We also discovered that, despite receiving a direct complaint about these problems over a year ago, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites,” the letter, written by BMJ editor Fiona Godlee, further claims.

The BMJ hired an investigative reporter to write the story, which was published on November 2. The article had been peer reviewed, legally reviewed, and subjected to The BMJ’s high editorial standards.
However, starting November 10, Facebook users started reporting problems when trying to share the article. Some said they were unable to share, others said their posts were flagged with a warning saying, “Missing context… Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.” Others were warned about the consequences of repeatedly sharing “false information.”
The BMJ’s article was fact-checked by Lead Stories, a Facebook contractor. The BMJ described the fact-check performed by Lead Stories as “inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible.”
Dislike of Israel is widespread in Academia, including in the USA. And definitely inside the State Department, since the Obama's 1st term. Pro-Israel bias disappeared in the 90s when CNN, NYT, etc. began outsourcing "Journalism" esp. Photojournalism to the cheaper Arabs rather than relatively expensive Israelis.
You want to know why I dislike the US' relationship with Israel?
It's because our "news" media lies in favor of it consistently and constantly and all Zionism is, is the KKK for Jews.
It's because our "news" media lies in favor of it consistently and constantly and all Zionism is, is the KKK for Jews. That's the country. I have heard for 40 years "if we only the Palestinians would lay down their arms there would be peace, but if we lay down ours, Israel will be destroyed" - it's just such fucking bullshit. When is the last time the WEST BANK did anything to Israel? Yet the settlements expand in the West Bank, settlers often murder the Palestinians there. I'm just so fucking sick of them lying. So goddamned tired of their stupid propaganda.
Which peace plan did the Levantine Arab "Palestinians" offer?
Not one.

Arabs will be fine with 75% of the Levant, with a free Israel and free Kurdistan. It's time to decolonize the Middle East, and it will happen eventually.
That article shows up in my FB feed.
There are 3.2k comments to it already.
Despite that, I decide add another comment anyway that simply says, 'Let's Go Brandon'.
FB declares it violates FB community 'standards'.
