I'm writing this on behalf of all my fellow conservatives who
are losing their First Amendment right to free speech at the hands
of both the Facebook censors and their now infamous algorithm...an
algorithm which selectively
“targets” those of us who
dare speak out against the people and policies of the left. And I
personally have been
“targeted” 36 times within but the
past few years...
silenced into
becoming a semi-permanent resident of the infamous Facebook
jail.
And my personal story is not so different from others being
“targeted” for silence by what is a privately owned
company that's now being
“publicly traded” on the New
York Stock Exchange...a company not only in trouble for selling its
users private information...
remember the Cambridge Analytica
scandal of just a few months back...but a company recently removed
from the
“Standard & Poor’s Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) Index” after receiving a score of but 22 for
“social responsibility” and only a 6 for
“governance,”
out of a possible 100 points, thus scoring
“extremely poorly.”
And with Facebook being the
largest “tech firm”
and the fourth-largest company in the S&P 500 (behind
Microsoft, Apple and Amazon), this removal is more than mere egg on
their face for it shows the world that Facebook not only lacks the
fundamentals in regards to privacy protection, but fails in how
effective it is regarding critical “risk management
processes” as well as how it
enforces said processes.
And not to be overlooked is that now
D.C. politicians have gotten involved in the Facebook fray but
shamefully for celebrities alone. More on that in a bit.
My story starts a bit over eight years ago when I joined
Facebook to talk politics with like-minded conservative folks. I
joined at the time when the media was shoving down our throats the
man they alone anointed as America's next president...a man whose
“number” I had on the very day he sashayed onto the
national scene when giving Billy-Boy Clinton's nominating speech at
his second nominating convention. I was now heavily involved in
national politics after leaving behind my years in local
politics...which included running for a city commission seat...as I
feared this man becoming president.
When I first joined Facebook there were no Community Standards that I
knew of as it did seem to me through my Facebook perusing that we were free to discuss our own political views
without censorship or so-called spying. However, I now know that
truly was not the case as nothing I or anyone else posted back then or posts now, even if we delete it, was and still is ever deleted by Facebook.
Here I must note that during my
eight years on Facebook I have became a professional blogger at
The
Patriot Factor, a co-host with my friend Craig Andresen of a
conservative internet radio talk show called
Right
Side Patriots as well as having my op-eds being carried by
some of the larger internet newspapers. And all this I do for love
of country...to get the conservative message out...to do the
“grunt
work” as well as the investigative work needed to disseminate
the truth the mainstream leftist media dare not tell us...and I did
it then and gladly do it now without pay. Truth-telling was and is
my 24/7-365 job...a job I take very seriously...as eight+ years ago
I saw my beloved America and my children's future heading in the
wrong direction under what became the presidency of one Barack HUSSEIN
Obama.
And so my Facebook posting days began and I gained a large
following who liked my op-eds as I always had facts to back-up my
writings...facts the media ignored. And around this same time islam
was starting to make inroads into our country...how quickly 9/11
became but a side note in history... what with Obama allowing the
Muslim Brotherhood and other islamic groups to infiltrate our
government, as well as sharia law starting its incursion into
American jurisprudence. And so we bloggers jumped into action by
not only writing the truth about both Obama and islam but by
broadcasting that truth over the airwaves and on social media sites
as well. And one venue I used to get the truth out...used solely
because of its unmatchable reach...was Facebook but never did I think it
would morph into an anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic,
islamic-condoning, conservative-hating, site.
And my personal Facebook nightmare began when I posted the prize
winning photo of a dead American soldier being dragged through the
dirty streets of Mogadishu...a photo showing his body being kicked
and spat upon by the gathering crowd along with this comment,
“This
is what’s happening to our troops in the muslim world.”
This was my first Facebook
“jailing”...a 30-day
sentence due to what the Facebook censors claimed was my posting
pornography...pornography no matter this exact photo was printed in
nearly every American major newspaper and on the
internet... pornography because the dead soldier's clothes had been torn
to sheds while he was being dragged, and that if one now looked at the image
close enough they would see that a bit of our soldier's
“privates” were
showing. And that as per Facebook made me a pornographer...they
actually labeled me that.
Did it matter to Facebook the atrocities committed upon our
American soldier...did it matter to Facebook the savage actions of
those gathering around his body...did it matter to Facebook the
inhumane killing act itself? No...all that mattered to Facebook was
that it you looked real close at the very bottom center of the
photograph you'd see a bit of the soldier's
“privates”...“privates”
one might not even recognize
as such due to the desecrated nature of his body.
My next 30-day
“jailing” was for opposing sharia law,
for saying female genital mutilation was wrong and for asking the
question why weren't the women in the muslim world fighting
back...for saying this was not an act of sane people for what woman
in her right mind would allow this atrocity to be committed upon
their daughters while at times even taking part in the act itself.
For daring to post said question I again received a 30-day Facebook
“jailing” with no specific reason as to why and with no
chance to appeal.
And so it went throughout the years if I dared criticize islam
or if I dared call Obama a
"traitor"...as I did when he told the
enemy our dates of departure from the theaters of war and when he
“aided and abetted” the enemy with the Taliban
“5-for-1”
trade. And why I kept getting these 30-day
“jailings”
was puzzling as others were saying similar things using
vulgarities, something I never did, yet they were still posting
freely while I languished in
“solitary confinement.”
Finally I knew why...because I used the word
“muzzie”
instead of
“muslim” in my posts and thus upset the sensibilities of those whose very actions do prove they're out to kill
us all.
I tried to explain to Facebook that I used the word
“muzzie”
instead of
“muslim” because the
“double zz”...at
that time...was not recognized by muslim computers overseas thus
allowing my posts to remain up for users to see. And besides, at the
time I used said word it was not part of their now known list of
words not to be used on Facebook...words they alone deem insulting
and derogatory
“hate speech” towards muslims in general.
And once I found this out I never used the word
“muzzie” again...but
know this list of verboten words was only released a few short
years ago.
So what does Facebook keep doing to me now because of a word I
dared use BEFORE it was added to their no-no list...they keep digging through now publicly unseen years old posts of mine in order to
throw me back into Facebook jail retroactively within mere hours of each time
I'm
“paroled.” And because I've not broken any of their
rules since said word was added to said list, the Facebook censors
have now locked their infamous algorithm
onto
me and onto posts I long ago deleted. And this is extremely
critical...there obviously is no deleting anything on Facebook for
once I realized it was the word
“muzzie” getting me in
trouble I went through my eight years on Facebook as best I could
and removed every post, comment, and note containing said word,
and with all the uses being BEFORE
“muzzie” was not allowed. In
other words, Facebook keeps ALL our posts, comments, and notes
forever even if we delete them, and then lied to we users about doing
so. Facebook is not the
“Cloud” where basically things
stay forever...we post to a private site where
delete we were led to believe actually meant
“it's gone.”
More lies from Facebook as my newest
“jailing” is
again for using the word
“muzzie” in a comment made over
seven years ago where I said,
“BREAKING ON FOX...muzzies now
acting up in Jerusalem...NOT a smart move as Israel will NOT
tolerate this.” And the
site, to my knowledge, that I posted it on no longer even exists on
Facebook. And why is this grievous...because when handed this
newest 30-day “jailing”
just a few short days ago, Facebook had the audacity to tell me
that while my comment did not go against their Community Standards
on “hate speech”
back then they're punishing me for it now because now it indeed does meet
said standards. And so I continue to be punished for a word used
BEFORE it became unacceptable as Facebook keeps resurrecting items
I deleted or forgot about long ago...“selective enforcement” thy name is
Diane Sori...if that's not a violation of my right to free
speech...if that's not “Big Brother”
in action...then I don't know what is.
And briefly but two other times I was thrown in Facebook jail included
when I was an admin on a site that I didn’t even know someone had made
me an admin of, with Facebook telling me that since I didn’t
immediately take down a post that I as one of 15 admin knew well broke
Community Standards, that again I was being jailed for 30-days,
while the poster himself got only one week and the other admins got
48 hours.
But most grievous of all was my 30-day
“jailing” of three years ago on the very day and time that I was
burying my mother. Facebook notified me that within the hour I
posted something that didn’t meet their Community Standards. I
was never told what said post was or what standard I violated, and
besides I wasn't even on Facebook that day or the days before
because I was arranging a funeral and burying my mother. Days later
I wrote Facebook a letter saying this wasn’t me posting as this
couldn’t be as I was at my mothers funeral and had over 50
witnesses to just that. Did Facebook care...no...they didn't even
bother to answer me leaving me to rot in Facebook jail for
something I didn't do.
Yet there are two bottom lines in my particular story, first, my
“jailings” keep happening for a word used years BEFORE
it wasn't allowed to be used and second, not only are some of my
“jailings” being recycled numerous times, including
sometimes in groups that no longer exist, but more importantly is
the fact that when you think you've deleted something on Facebook
it's not deleted but kept by Facebook to use against you if you
happen to be a conservative truth-teller.
“Big Brother”
doesn't hold a candle to Facebook it seems.
Simply, in Facebook land
nothing you post or comment on is ever deleted, a sure violation of its users
privacy rights, proving that Facebook does keep records on all who
use it, and that now includes on Messenger as well. And when one is
thrown into Facebook jail they're now also being denied the use of
Messenger no matter that one can’t really post anything from Messenger.
Now as for my earlier stated
“more on that in a bit”...we
know that the feds are looking into the privacy issues regarding
Facebook, and we know that certain members of Congress have formed
something of a committee to look into not only Facebook's privacy
violations but also issues regarding its censorship of conservative
voices. Here is where my story comes into play for while I've tried
to contact a specific senator who is on said committee to ask for
his help, I can't reach him or any of the others involved because
I'm not a resident of their states nor am I a
“celebrity,”
I'm just one of the
“grunt workers” helping to set our
country right again not someone looking for fame or fortune who has
come into the world of political discourse just a short time ago.
I'm an everyday American citizen asking for our leaders help in
reigning in a company doing conservative Americans wrong...a
company that needs to be broken up with its monopoly being
disassembled for Facebook is a company maliciously infringing upon
conservatives right to free speech.
So I ask those of our leaders on the Facebook committee to
please not just listen to me, but to please listen to all we conservatives
who are continuously being censored by Facebook. Call us, talk to us, let
us testify before Congress as to the truth about Facebook. And
while we might not add to your resume of those celebrities you now
get to call friends, we everyday Americans
should actually be more important because
we are the ones who sent you to D.C. in the first place. It's time
for celebrity stars to dim as they only care about themselves and
the monies lost by being off Facebook...it's time to let we
“grunt
workers” shine the light of truth on a company truly run
amok.
Senators and Representatives, the ball is now in your court...do you really want to
know the truth about Facebook or just relish in your celebrity's
additional 15 minutes of fame...we can help set the Facebook wrong
right if only you'll let us help...the question is, will you?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Diane
