Ideas and questioning of status quo posts on Facebook are censored regularly. It&#8217;s done easily by &#8220;reporting&#8221; of posts another deem offensive or &#8220;dangerous&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/choon.james\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/choon.james\">FACEBOOK PAGE <\/a>gets censored for &#8220;violating community standards&#8221; just about every month. Unequivocally, I never swear. I never threaten. I never call names. I&#8217;m always civil and respectful. I like to raise critical thinking and promote ideas and solutions in the Public Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently, there are people out there who are afraid of diversification of thoughts and ideas. Usually what happens is someone &#8220;report&#8221; your post and FB automatically shuts a post down or puts a person in facebook jail for a period of time to deny further posting. Or you&#8217;re not allowed to post photos. I must be up on the &#8220;most wanted list&#8221; on FB now because I&#8217;m regularly censored for no good reason. It&#8217;s becoming a harassment. ( I will probably send this to FB the next time they have a stockholder meeting. i own stocks in FB\/Meta however meager to Zukerberg&#8217;s shares.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is one example.  What an irritation and what a waste of time and so anti-democratic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I posted similar comments on my post along with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0_OjKe4BuDE\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0_OjKe4BuDE\">YOU TUBE<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Putting politics aside, RFK is rocking the Public Health and Corruption Boat. We&#8217;ve all become captives of Big Pharma, Big Corporations and Big Government.<\/em> I included this You Tube post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
