Given that, I can’t help but wonder if this particular about-face signals that Mark Zuckerberg is giving up on Drumpf (who complains but does nothing) and cleaning house to appease his adveraries (some of whom want to break up Facebook).
I’m sure Zuckerberg is looking at the same polls everyone else is. If they were reversed then this long-overdue ban wouldn’t be happening.

Where do I go to join the Deep State?
Also, the fact that a court actually stepped in over Trump’s Tik-Tok extortion (can you imagine explaining that sentence to someone from 2005?) may have blunted the effects of conservative threats.

I dunno, probably in the same line you go to be a paid protestor.

FTFY. It seems that Zuck’s second-favorite pastime after both-siding for white supremacists, neo-Nazis and killer kops is making mealy-mouthed promises he has zero intention of upholding. He hasn’t done one single thing I can recall that didn’t take years of people throwing his own words in his face to actually take action on.

Polls, Tik Tok, AND the recent finding that the major social media corps are all monopolies that need to be addressed. It’s a cluster fuck that even Facebook can no longer ignore.

Zuck will act, Q laughs. When he has he made any change that wasn’t purely cosmetic?
It’s all for show, and there has never been one shred if evidence to the contrary.

Does that recruiter handle the War on Christmas army and the Gay Agenda too? I have been trying to sign up for all of these for decades now.

NYT’s Daily Distortions Column: QAnon Says Ban From Facebook Is Proof of the Conspiracy
Right-wing supporters falsely argued that Facebook’s ban on QAnon pages was part of the Trump administration’s plan to root out the “deep state.”

Facebook closes barn door after cow gets out!

There’s a real legal argument being made that could see Facebook, and presumably the executive, held liable in connection with a recent murder.
Barn door or not, the crows are coming home to roost.

Not to be cynical, but…
In Rio before the Pope came for a visit, the Army would paint the trees and sidewalks white, homeless people that lived on the streets were forced into vans and dropped on other cities and suddenly you had police in places they usually would leave to the cockroaches.
Nothing of substance was ever changed, the spring cleaning was only for show.
Expect the undesirables return while Zuck looks the other way as soon as November ends.
