Top Communications Union Joins Big-Budget Campaign Against Facebook.
Prominent members of ‘Freedom From Facebook’ have ties to George Soros.
A progressive coalition of anti-monopoly groups seeking to break up Facebook just added the top U.S. communications union to its campaign.
Communications Workers of America (CWA) joined the Freedom From Facebook campaign calling on the Federal Trade Commission to split Facebook into smaller social media companies, Bloomberg reports. The campaign argues the FTC should take steps to break up Facebook and institute stronger privacy protections and facilitate cross-platform communication.
“We should all be deeply concerned by Facebook’s power over our lives and democracy,” said Communications Workers of America researcher Brian Thorn. He also said Facebook’s “monopoly” should end or else it “would be unfair to the American people, our privacy, and our democracy.” more here
Boy, the things you could point out about personal responsibility, choices, jobs, etc.
But you are right!!
Let them be.
Off topic: President Trump pardoned the Hammonds! MAGA! And liberal heads explode!
Regressives eating their own is the best. Like when the windmill hippies tell the nature loving bird hippies to go fudge themselves when complaints about bird deaths get out of hand.
I’d like to add that the SCOTUS ruling on the Colorado cake bakers was probably seen as a great victory for Muslim bakers around the country.
I think FB, Twitter, et al should be declared common carriers. For the power they have, they should not have the power to pick and choose what people can say on their platforms as long as the statements pass legal scrutiny. James Wood was given a warning by Twitter for posting a photo of an American Flag, but jihadists can call for the deaths of westerners with impunity. That is wrong.
Yeah, I’m down with that. Just like I have no problem with the various Muslim faction (Sunni vs Shia) killing each other off. Sit back and enjoy the show, and pass the popcorn! ;^)
IOTW, please operate the curtains on this grand theatrical stage. You are SO good at providing front-row seats for all of us, thank you kindly.

> I think FB, Twitter, et al should be declared common carriers.
The problem with labeling them “common carriers” is no longer being able to, even pretend, they are not government agencies. Dispensing with that fig leaf always, always, outlaws even the semblance of competition. The government brooks no competition, once they are forced to quit pretending they ever allowed it in the first place,
@Jimbo: Sit back and pass the pork rinds!
I think there should be an attempt to unionize Facebook

just sit back and enjoy the show
