Facebook - as a platform - as an entity is perfectly within its rights to reject views it doesn’t fit within its own ethical boundaries. A bit like a Christian cake maker not wanting to make a cake celebrating a gay wedding. You're right, Facebook, as a private company, can censor its content. But it cannot do that while at the same time claiming immunity from civil lawsuits. And we all know how much you guys supported the rights of the cake-maker. The cake-maker had no such protection as that the social-media monopolies enjoy. Trump needs to forget about the Wall. He has a few months left in his administration. If I were him, I'd spend the rest of my time and power doing everything I can to BF the technocrats. Edited July 7, 2020 by OZinPattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media evolution isn't my cup of tea but can see where this is heading and Facebook will not hold a monopoly in the not too distant future. People don't want their apps to be predisposed to political leanings. Simple. If social media is not your cup of tea why post on TVF? Nothing wrong with Facebook I met my wife on Facebook 15 years ago and yes I don't post pics of food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might actually want to read the thread before posting your revelation that social media must be good because you met your Thai soulmate on social media. You could say the same thing about online whorehouses like ThaiCupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is arguing that social media isn't a good way to meet women. Good for you. I'm happy you were able to meet your soulmate on social media. I'm not sure how that is relevant to this thread, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody knows this boycott is a farce. Most companies are simply pausing for a month. After that they need access to the billions of users FB offers and nowhere else can.

I always have a bit of a giggle when their posts come up. They are inanely predictable. Its a sad construct that has gained currency as the insult de jour for the reactionaries and other assorted chest thumpers who’s political ideology only goes as far as wrapping themselves in a flag yelling ‘my country right or wrong!’. Compassion? Forget about it! The past? The place to be! These fellas call themselves free marketers but are really all about (as we see here) dictating to everyone their version of the truth. I’ve joked about it before, but for these guys, anyone to the left of Ghengis Khan is a ‘leftist’. Well you claim they label anybody they disagree with. Okay fair enough but then you go on a rambling path to stereotyping every single conservative in the same manner. It's almost written like you are winking to people how have reader the same script. It's really weird when you haven't been to TV in a few weeks and then read the posts here. People go into some sort of weird internet character that matches their narrative. Bonus points if you really actually giggle. The lockdowns do seem to be causing true mental damage in some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I find incredibly ironic is the socialistic Left being wholeheartedly supported by the richest billionaire, monopolistic, technocratic, multi-national companies and meanwhile these people still fancy themselves "revolutionaries." No, you, my friend, are the status quo. You're the corporatist status quo. You're the furthest thing from a revolutionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you're so defensive about my Facebook comment, to be honest, as I don't recall denigrating it. I did state that they won't hold their current monopoly forever and not sure what relevance meeting your wife and posting pics of food on Facebook has to do with it. A very rum response.

How is TVF not a social media platform? Maybe on the outdated side, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
