So they can control content. Perhaps our government could tell them to prevent young people seeing harmful content now, instead of a useless blanket ban.

Does that urging involve payments, or simply do what we ask or we will ban you from our country? I would seriously love to know what Israel has that means so many will bow to its demands. I sense another scandal.

I was told by the trump people that private citizens (hunter biden) asking to have penis pics removed from facebook was an act of tyranny... Whatever will they say about this? #rhetorical

Pretty sure X did the same which might account for glut of false 'inauthentic behaviour' suspensions.

The crazy part about the state of Israel is who's next? If you're not a want to be, that can't be, you're an animal. Or should I say your disposable? Fabricating hate and revenge to the world! The US needs to cut this allied position in half!

Weird since when asked to censor certain objectionable content (white supremacy for instance), they can’t because it’s supposedly impossible. When told they should be held responsible for dissemination of harmful content they say they shouldn’t be because they don’t/can’t really control that…
