Facebook has extended the suspension of Donald Trump. There is so much garbage on Facebook that I'm not sure how I feel about singling out Trump. On the other hand, if I were in control of Facebook, I wouldn't want my platform to be associated in any way with the guy that incited the violent attack on our nation's Capitol Building.

Can a publically traded company do that???
What about Free Speech?

Can you provide definitive legal proof that Pres. Trump incited "the violent attack on our nation's Capitol Building"?

In ref. to your "Free Speech" comment. It's quite simple. A publically traded company is not the government. To refresh memories, the first amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Publically traded companies are not Congress.

I think the Democrats have more to do with the "r**t" then Trump. It wasn't Republicans burning Seattle and other sancuary cities.
And who cares about FB?

Not yet, but in sworn depositions, the terrorists who followed the orders say they came from trump. We’ll see how those 600 court cases go.

I guess that's the prudent thing to do...wait. No use casting aspersions until we know.

Only weak minded i***ts believe Trump’s Big Lie did not incite the terrorists in J****** 6th. Even Mitch publicly admitted that, before he v**ed to acquit. He, like so many others want to regain power—screw what is right and t***hful.

They sure are making a concerted effort to downplay and whitewash the failed i**********n attempt.

Yes. A political civil war is happening. It will get worse before it gets better—perhaps worse than we saw on J****** 6th.

Try reading the 1st Amendment.

I have read the 1st amendment. It states that Congress shall make no law "abridging the freedom of speech". I didn't see the part that says that Facebook shall make no law "abridging the freedom of speech".

They publish rules, and Trump broke them, and if they let him, he'll break them again.
