The
First Amendment rightfully in the Bill of Rights comes first
For without speech, religion, press, assembly, or address nothing good only
worst
The creators of the algorithms to access to social media they seek to deny
Are clueless to why the founders believed freedom of speech was a necessity on
which we had to rely
Whereas Waters and Booker were able to tweet and preach in your face opposition
to Trump
And all pretense of civility and peaceful argument and discourse dump
Never banned for a moment while Trump did not in any way incite
What Facebook did is far more effective than the Iron Curtain and it is not
right
If Facebook really wants to prevent riots and violence, speech it should not
curtail
It will lead to despair, hopelessness and the need for revenge to get on the violence
trail
The best defense against lies or distortions or urging of violent acts
Is more speech to counter the lies, distortions or urges is to summon forth the
facts
May be difficult when the press
Has become a willing partner to opposing views suppress
A populist movement is not a Medusa you cannot kill it by censoring its current
head
Trump’s ban will sow the seeds of dragon’s teeth to move forward in ways
Facebook will dread
75 million strong and maybe more will as one realize, Facebook is a biased
luxury they do not need
Start agitating with their leaders and courts to break it up as a start to end
its censorship greed
Facebook is wrong, Voltaire’s words still ring true even more so today
I may disagree but I will defend to the
death your right to say
Time
for Facebook to end its misguided ban
We need more speech not a social media Iron Curtain strangling discourse in
this land
