It happens here on TBN too.
If you hold a certain belief on "subjects", you get a free pass to say about anything you want on here, with virtual immunity.
If you hold the opposite, and say "non-cherished belief", then you get moderated-in-secret, temp-banned, and threatened with perma-ban.
When some nameless, faceless bureaucrat holds all the power, and that power has no checks or balances, they don't hesitate to apply it in ways that seem "right" to them.
FREE SPEECH?
Yeah, that's the last thing they want.
I was all set to pack up and go, but then I realized, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT to happen. All the "disagree-ers" pushed out, pushed away, so all can be "kumbaya" sing-alongs.

You can appeal to their review board.... but they can simply decide not to look at your complaint. I have done that with the one that got me a 3 day ban. Now I need to create a secondary back up account and join a couple groups that I need to stay in contact with in case I get a longer ban.
There are reports of people getting into FB jail just for using the word "man" or "woman" in a "derogatory" way.

Facebook is nothing more than a repository for conformists, and those that need someone to hold their hand to get through the day.
No, it's much more than that. Imagine if there was a law passed saying that you had to carry a tracking device everywhere you go and check in every hour notifying where you are. There would be lynch mobs formed.
Instead they invented FB and the cell phone, which accomplish the same thing.
On FB, the third sentence of this post would likely trigger an alarm and get it deleted.

Not only did “they” invent it all but “they” are rich beyond imagination.
There are only 5 US trillion dollar companies in existence:
- Apple 2+ trillion
- Microsoft 2+ trillion
- Amazon 1.7 trillion
- Google 1.7 trillion
- Facebook 1.0 trillion
GE is only worth 125 billion. Apple is worth 16 GE’s!
How many zeros are in a trillion?

The last 3 of those don't even produce anything tangible. It just goes to show what we value the most.

No product other than data —- used to influence peoples decisions in many many ways.
That is what generates big $$$$ these days.
Data equals power.
Produce an actual product? That requires brick and mortar which puts a ceiling on return of capital.
