NOT ONE person should ever stoop to the level of relying on Facebook or Twitter for news or issues. It is distorted greatly, and the changes at those two platforms are aiming at stopping the "outside influences" very much at play in both places. They need to be stronger.

If anyone wishes facts so they can develop a HEALTHY, logical opinion, these type places are a EXTREME TABOO. They do not present the truth, and all sides of any issue use them....the loudest wins ? Having a message that translates well on these type of sites, does not make them the correct message.

We all make our own opinion, but it has to be based on truths.
No one should decide what I can read and not read. That is censorship. If Facebook wants to tell me they believe information is incorrect, I don't have an issue with Facebook "tagging" it, stating that this information is incorrect, and linking to what they feel is factual information. BUT LET ME READ THE POST!!! They don't allow you to even see it.
I have many friends with differing views. I've seen a number of people "censored" on one side, yet no posts blocked by my other friends. And the block occurs to multiple friends. In my opinion, the decision to censor isn't objective.
