Although I don't see any signal in this, it seems like the obvious course of action both if they are and if they aren't supressing conservative articles.
- chris_wot 11y agoWell, they seem to have been happy to delete at least one person's post. I know John Dickson and while I disagree with his comment, I wonder how it was that their staff member "accidentally" deleted his post. There is no transparency at all. The only way that post was restored was because someone in the Australian government, at avert high level, got in contact with someone else in Facebook who had the decision reversed and apologised to John Dickson.
