“Mark Changed the Rules” Facebook Went Easy on Alex Jones and Right-Wing Figures

Have you considered that their deplatforming of a sitting president was justified? I don't understand how you could decide that this article is silly right off the bat, unless you 1) think buzzfeed is just silly or 2) already just think these platforms ban "conservative" voices and so this article is just delusion. But I personally don't think that just the fact that facebook removed the president suggests they clearly have a liberal bias. In fact it seems like they have agonized about removing him/these non information channels like alex jones for years. Unless you think they just shouldn't remove anyone... but they are a private company - not a public square..

Or maybe they could simply not promote any political content at all. Or even de-emphasize/throttle political content - as long as its applied evenly, across the board.

What they're doing now is over-promoting "conservative" content, and throttling liberal content. If the reverse was happening, you can be sure that Fox/OANN/Daily * would be screaming about platform bias. On second thought, scratch that. They are making such claims, even though the evidence shows the exact opposite is happening.
