- jim-jim-jim 5y agoIt's gonna be very cool when every politician who contradicts the US intelligence narrative in the run up to the next war gets booted for ``misinformation."
- hoppyhoppy2 5y agoI'm curious why you think that would be cool? It doesn't sound like a situation to aspire to.
- jim-jim-jim 5y agoI don't think it's cool, but I refuse to use something as lame as "/s".
- krapp 5y agoUnder the change, politicians’ posts will no longer be presumed newsworthy, said the people with knowledge of the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Politicians will be subject to Facebook’s content guidelines that prohibit harassment, discrimination or other harmful speech, they said. Good. If you can't even pretend not to be a sociopathic human sack of feces online, you don't deserve to be elected to anything. We'll set that as the minimum decency bar, since it seems we never actually had a minimum decency bar until now.
