Facebook in Alabama is mostly a right wing feed. So if leftists are running it they're a house divided in terms of impact and use here.
Did you look at the number of likes? Fewer than seven thousand. Conservatives for Alabama's Future alone has nearly twice that. Not surprising since 50.6% of Alabamians consider themselves conservative.
Could it be fear of local reprisal?
It's not about content itself. It's about how identical content can be approved or censored by nameless FB hypocrites depending, not on the content itself obviously, but solely on their own political orientation.
Granite's an atheist, who was raised Jewish.
Ask him what he thinks of the Palestinians
Facebook is a huge business that can and does as it pleases with it's web site. Just as TOL is a tiny business that does as it pleases with it's web site.It's not about content itself.

Why should you expect Facebook to behave any differently than TOL does? Bias is everywhere, and business shouldn't be told what they can and can't do, right?

These guys defend a business's right to refuse service to certain people, not sure why they're complaining about Facebook running itself like what it is: A business.
Uh...sorry, tet, not sure where you got this idea. Totally incorrect.
I'm Jewish on my mom's side
You said you were Jewish on your mother's side:
According to Jews today, if the mother is Jewish, the son is Jewish.
I was not "raised Jewish."
How were you raised?
Christian?
Atheist?
Awww man...
Start a new thread, and literally call it 20 Questions For Granite if you like. I really don't feel like derailing this one.:cheers:
The thread's about Zuckerberg and facebook.
Zuckerberg was raised Jewish (he had a bar mitzvah), and then converted to atheism.
You claim to be an atheist, and you said your mom was Jewish.
IMO, that means you and Zuckerberg have a lot in common, even though you said you weren't raised Jewish.
I find it very interesting how divided Liberals are on Jews and Palestinians.
Most Jews are Liberals, and most non-Jewish Liberals are pro-Palestinian. That makes for strange bedfellows.
Since your mom was Jewish, and your a Liberal, what's your stance on Jews and Palestinians?
As for the Palestinians by and large I think they're getting screwed and getting treated deplorably.
or a discomfort with the nationalism inherent to Zionism
