Eric Holder? An-alt left ideologue? The man who weaponized the DoJ in the cause of the hard left is going to advise them on combating perceptions of bias against conservatives?
Is Zuckerberg capable of hiring a conservative, let alone of recognizing bias against conservatives? My Facebook page with one million followers is banned from those very followers. And I am hardly alone. This has been going on since the election of Donald J Trump.
We need anti-trust legislation and we need it now. It’s war. People do not understand what is at stake and what they have lost. Social media is the public square and our First Amendment rights should be first and foremost. Either we go quietly into the cold, dark night or we go to war.

Facebook Enlists Eric Holder’s Law Firm to ‘Advise’ on Anti-Conservative Bias
by Allum Bokhari, 2 May 2018:
Facebook has enlisted a team from law firm Covington and Burling to advise them on combating perceptions of bias against conservatives. One minor detail: Covington and Burling is the firm of Barack Obama’s left-wing former attorney general, Eric Holder.
According to Axios, the team will be led by former Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl. Kyl was a vocal critic of Holder during his time in the Senate, and was rated highly by conservative organizations. After Kyl retired from the Senate, he joined Covington & Burling, where Holder had previously been a high-profile partner.
The former attorney general is still a partner at Covington & Burling, and was recently retained by the state of California for their expected legal showdowns with the Trump Administration. Holder has publicly flirted with the idea of running for president in 2020, telling reporters earlier this year that he would make a decision by the end of 2018.
So, to sum up: Facebook, a California-based company, has enlisted the same firm that is providing legal advice to their state against the Trump administration, through none other than Eric Holder, to advise them on combating perceptions of bias against conservatives.
The Heritage Foundation will also be working with Facebook on the same issue.
According to Axios, the conservative think-tank will “will convene meetings on these issues with Facebook executives.” Klon Kitchen, a former adviser to Sen. Ben Sasse who now works as a tech policy expert at Heritage, has reportedly hosted an event with Facebook’s head of global policy management.
Facebook has recently been engaged in outreach to conservative organizations, but their focus has not been on censorship concerns, but instead on securing free-market allies against the threat of regulation.
One of those allies, Berin Szóka of TechFreedom, told a congressional hearing on social media censorship that regulating social media companies to protect free speech was contrary to conservative values. He did not explain how a market dominated by monopolies like Facebook and Google is still “free.”
Szóka, along with other free-market conservatives, had previously been invited to a meeting with Facebook representatives aimed at fending off the so-called “rush to regulate” the platform, which holds a dominant position in the social media market with over 2 billion users.
It remains to be seen whether Facebook’s introduction of outside advisers is a genuine attempt to address widely-documented cases of anti-conservative bias on the platform — like the recent, purportedly mistaken, bans of Pamela Geller and an anti-illegal immigration group’s event — or just another attempt to fend off regulation.
We have reached out to Facebook, The Heritage Foundation, and the office of former Sen. Jon Kyl for comment.

This is how it’s done. When you doubt that your company is biased against conservatives (Zuckerberg before Congress), hire a ardent leftist lawyer to probe it. It’s just the old fox guarding the hen house. What a joke.

Eric Holder was the man who covered up ‘Fast and Furious’, Benghazi and ordered a court to release the Black Panther members who were caught on video intimidating voters outside a voting location. He has no conscience and promoted sexual perversion. He is dangerous. He is the epitome of evil.

Fox — Henhouse. Henhouse – Fox. Aided and abetted by “free-market conservatives” who are ignoring the growing evidence that this is truly censorship aided and abetted by the government. It is not “free market” if I conduct my business with a government thug leaning over my shoulder waving a gun.

Keep in mind that Holder is the only AG in US history to be cited for contempt of Congress over subpoenaed documents on his Fast & Furious gun running scam. He also defended weaponizing the IRS against conservatives.
If “Fakebook” is really serious about anti-conservative bias, they sure picked an expert on the subject.

Can it get any more ridiculous than this?
Zuckfuck is doing his part to skew the midterm elections with FAKE NEWS. Zuckfuck is just another mentally ill DEM doing his part to flood fascistbook with anti-GOP bias for the undecideds. Zuckfuck wants the DEMS to have the majority after the midterms to follow through on an impeachment of Trump. That is all this is about. DEMS are desperate to get Trump.
This is an all out WAR. Trump committed no crimes. If Is was Trump, I’d ask them what crime did I commit? Where is the evidence of any such crime?
Ask your self this, why can’t PEOPLE decide on what they want to believe or not believe? Why CENSOR it? Isn’t it because the TRUTH is the enemy of the LEFT as it ALWAYS is?

FACEBOOK QUIETLY HID WEBPAGES BRAGGING OF ABILITY TO INFLUENCE ELECTIONS
Sam Biddle
March 14 2018, 1:08 p.m.
WHEN MARK ZUCKERBERG was asked if Facebook had influenced the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, the founder and CEO dismissed the notion that the site even had such power as “crazy.” It was a disingenuous remark. Facebook’s website had an entire section devoted to touting the “success stories” of political campaigns that used the social network to influence electoral outcomes. That page, however, is now gone, even as the 2018 congressional primaries get underway.

Excellent but you know he could also be a Joseph Goebbels. Fascistbook is nothing more than lefty propaganda. Zuckfuck will NEVER allow conservatives to have a voice. These silly meetings with Heritage are just fascist theater for dumb people. Holder is just a weasel to make sure it remains biased to the highest level possible.

It’s time for a Facebook alternative. It’s time to stop breathing oxygen into this monster. Leave it. I know, it’s easier said than done right now, but I think it’s only a matter of time before something comparable that doesn’t silence conservatives comes along. I have joined gab.ai and Minds.com. There are several others, and they are evolving. If enough people leave and start using these alternatives, we won’t even be reading about this.

This is an interesting conversation between Zuck and an old Harvard friend while still at Harvard. Zuck knows EXACTLY what he is doing and it was all part of his plan as a STUDENT who just developed FascistBook.
Zuckerberg Classmate Reveals the Lie
That Started His Entire Empire
BY BENJAMIN ARIE
APRIL 19, 2018 AT 1:20PM
“You’re in charge of your own data.
There’s nothing to worry about.”
That, in so many words, was the basic message of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg during his recent testimony in front of Congress. Zuck faced tough questions as part of the fallout from recent scandals, but one of the original users of his social network just dropped a bombshell about how long those problems have existed.
Julia Carrie Wong was among the first people to join Facebook back in 2004. She was also a classmate of Zuckerberg at Harvard University, where the social network famously began.
…
As evidence of that “spin,” Wong recalled instant messages that were sent between Mark Zuckerberg and one of her Harvard friends during the early days of Facebook.
“During those first few weeks of Facebook’s existence, while he was assuring his fellow college students that we could trust him with our identities, he had a private conversation on instant messenger with a friend,” wrote Wong. “That conversation was subsequently leaked, and published by Silicon Valley Insider. It is as follows:”
ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
ZUCK: just ask
ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?
ZUCK: people just submitted it
ZUCK: i don’t know why
ZUCK: they “trust me”
ZUCK: dumb f**ks
Wong then launched into her most scorching criticism of Zuckerberg and Facebook yet.
“In the intervening years, I’ve learned that Zuckerberg values his own privacy so much that he has security guards watching his trash, that he bought four houses surrounding his own house to avoid having neighbors, that he sued hundreds of Hawaiians to sever their claim to tiny plots of land within his massive Kauai estate, and that he secretly built tools to prevent further private messages from coming back to haunt him,” she ranted.

Hiring the fox to fortify the hen house. Facebook has no intent or motivation to scrub their algorithms so that they reflect the intent of the 1st amendment; an effort that should be way less complicated than shutting down conservatives and the so called Islamophobes and creating a bullhorn for the politically correct, radical, socialist, communist progressives and Islamists. But the brilliant, college indoctrinated entrepreneurs, like Zuckerberg, filled with lofty notions of their intellectual prowess, consider themselves as noble warriors doing battle against the “evils” of Capitalism and hope no one recognizes their gross duplicity.
Zuckerberg’s most urgent intent is protecting his own lofty perch atop the Capitalist food chain, a motive he’s sure to deny, certainly to himself.
So, what’s the answer to this assault on free speech? A Capitalist, free market solution might begin to turn this tide of globalist, politically correct, social justice economics being practiced by the Zuckerbergs of this world. In a word, competition; a forced breakup of the Facebook, Google, Twitter monopoly into more widely dispersed, economically and functionally independent social network entities.
The bitter taste of government intervention but, in the 21st century, high tech world, more likely to succeed than a traditional free market approach. The resulting social platforms will not likely be any less determined to fatten their bottom lines but a sharply increased level of competition will make feckless moves such as this by Zuckerberg here, far less likely to succeed.

Greetings!
Mr. Holder has an obvious bias, contempt and uncontrollable loathing for anything “classified” conservative or deemed classically American, and his “mission”, which he has accepted unconditionally, instigated by the liberal progressive “hierarchy”, will be perpetuated regardless of the extreme inveracity, sophism and malfeasance necessary. Simply, this is one “bad hombre”!

Remember, Holder is the black supremacist who refused to prosecute the voter intimidation of whites in Philadelphia awhile back. He’s a racist. No question about that.

The purpose of hiring Holder is to COVER UP the continuing BIAS from a legal perspective. He’ll look for loophole in our swiss cheese laws to continue censoring people.

When the House of Representatives brought charges of holder perpetrating perjury before Congress …. the matter was forwarded to Holder’s own DOJ. They stated that the charge(s) could not be pursued, due to “lack of evidence”. The entire “testimony”, in which Holder perpetrated perjury … somehow, they claimed (I kid you not) was “inadmissible”.
