Zuckerberg says he regrets that Meta bowed to Biden administration pressure to censor content, saying … the interference was “wrong” and he plans to push back if it happens again.

It was an episode, it was an action, it was a fight, it was not a crime … I have not been raped [boldface added].
E. Jean Carroll discussing the question whether Trump raped her, Vox, 6/27/19
[W]e can establish that Trump was not found “guilty” of rape as he was not criminally charged, nor was he found liable for rape.
Newsweek, 5/12/23
I was recently, on the same day, briefly kicked off both Meta and X for “suspicious” activity (not for the first time). In fact, there was no suspicious activity whatsoever on either of my accounts. What I did do was post articles from online conservative magazines on various “news” media and Democrat Party pages on both Meta and X and that is still forbidden. I believe I posted conservative articles on Chuck Schumer’s pages. I know I posted articles on both Jake Tapper’s and Jonathan Karl’s pages (because both of them pose as “journalists”). I believe I posted at Fox News cartoon that made fun of critics of Trump’s tariffs on some liberal pages. I also recall that over the past weeks I posted some youtube.com videos of “mainstream” media on election night 2016 and 2024 with the comment that these videos were “hilarious”. I would post a video of CBS News coverage on election night 2024 on a CBS News’ page on X or a video of NBC News coverage on election night 2024 on NBC’s page with the comment that it was hilarious. In fact, the election night coverage on the “mainstream” media is objectively, is hilarious. In addition, I believe I recently posted one of my own articles from Conservative Daily News on Donald Trump’s X page.
I have to say “I believe” because, since I had no sense whatsoever that any of my postings could be controversial, I did not keep a precise record of what I posted and where I posted it. Accordingly, I have to go by memory but I would have no objection whatsoever if Meta and X were to do searches and recover all my posts (let’s say for the last 2 weeks) and publish them themselves with a precise explanation why they were censored.
The specific occasion for my being blocked from Meta was that I posted an article defending Trump’s tariffs on a liberal site resulting in my account being IMMEDIATELY shut down (as if a bomb had gone off). Since no one had even had time to read the article, I infer that this article, this magazine (Conservative Daily News) or this subject matter was automatically (by some algorithm) targeted for censorship. When I was blocked from X, I received a message that this process is automatic and “sometimes mistakes are made”. No kidding!
One might argue that this is a minor case because, in both cases, both X and Meta, I was able to retrieve my account quite quickly by going through a process. In fact, however, the blockage of my Meta account, however temporary, was a warning (not to continue posting such conservative content). I know that comrade Zuckerberg, seeing the handwriting on the wall on election night 2024, and hoping that we can all forget his shenanigans in the 2020 election to help elect incompetent geriatric patient Joe Biden to the presidency, is doing his best to promote the impression that he now understands the 1st amendment and no longer promotes censorship on Meta … and he may even be sort of serious about that for a while.
I have no doubt that Elon Musk, one of the objectively great men of our time, actually understands the 1st amendment and would not support blocking such innocuous mainstream conservative posts as the ones I posted on X. However, neither Zuckerberg nor Musk can run their respective platforms on a daily basis, both having other things to do, Musk to put humans on Mars and Zuck to argue that he did not undermine US national security to cozy up to China. Therefore, both men must turn the task over to 2nd or 3rd or 7th stringers who may not have the same maturity or respect for the 1st amendment that they now have. Further, it may be, as X stated in a message to me, that their decisions are automatic, made according to some algorithm, and not made by thinking human beings. However, that would only mean that the algorithms are poorly formulated and unfair.
Further, let us compare my conservative posts with some of the garbage that is on Meta and X right now. Except for the politicians (Democrats), I do not expose the identities of the private citizens who posted these items. On Meta we find these four geniuses,
- Donald Trump is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist! Now, he is continuing his criminal ways as the President of the United States!
- Donald Trump is a racist, homophobic, three-time bankrupt, rapist, and a 34-count felon. His associates include a billionaire Nazi sympathizer and a Russian dictator. Trump … is only concerned with the wealthy elite.
- SEND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD TRUMP TO U.S. FEDERAL PRISON FOR LIFE WIHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. … GET THIS ANIMAL OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
- Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley: In the court of law, Trump is a rapist …
On X, we currently find these four great humanitarians,
- F@#K DONALD RAPIST TRUMP. AND FUCK NAZI ELON MUSK.
- Donald Trump burned a Palestinian journalist to death with an airstrike provided by American tax payers through his administrations open support of a Terrorist Nazi Group known as “israeI”.
- Shaq bent knee to Felon and Rapist Donald Trump at UFC last night.
- Team AOC: When Donald Trump talks about ‘rapists‘ and ‘criminals,’ he should look in the mirror.
I hope no one minds if I opine that all of the above people need some serious help.
For the only problem with these charges is that Trump was not found guilty of rape. That was apparently E Jean Carroll’s opinion too until she was approached by a major Democrat Party donor, Reid Hoffman, who asked her to bring rape charges against Trump in support of their shameless corrupt lawfare campaign against Trump because they are so afraid of him.
My quite sincere and serious question to Meta and X is this? What did I post (a series of conservative articles from mainstream conservative journals, The Federalist, National Review, Conservative Daily News, etc.) that is so much more “suspicious” and inappropriate than all the slanderous silliness quoted above? I repeat the same offer I have made in print to X and to Meta in the past. They can each look up my postings (let’s say for the past 2 weeks but longer if they wish) and meet me online in public, perhaps on Meta, and display for all the world to see what, precisely (the actual articles or words), is “suspicious” or inappropriate about any of my postings. I require that this be online in public because I do not intend to waste time playing children’s games with their frightened censors in the dark.
We are not going to put up with Meta’s and X’s crap anymore.
