Isn't it bizarre that Facebook has decided it's going to censor exactly 1 type of political view. If you want to discourage someone from voting - a perfectly legitimate position (not necessarily one I whole heartedly agree with, but I think arguments can be made, for example by Russell Brand in 2015[1]). It just seems like pure unadulterated hypocrisy to me.

- MatekCopatek 6y agoExactly! And to add to your argument - their encouragement isn't entirely neutral, it will cause a potential turnout increase in the population that uses Facebook. If anyone is bothered by priests in church telling believers to go vote - this is the same thing applied to a different focus group.
