I posted before Woody there is a way to do this without government intervention but FB won't do it...have a public editor, an ombudsman to handle complaints and make FB more transparent to consumers. 

Any other luxuries you wish to regulate for the good of the Soviet Union?

I don't for the life me understand why a MAGA hat or in this case a MAGA dress would bother or upset anyone...I was not an Obama fan but I would never care in the least if someone wore an Obama hat or anything like that. That is their business not mine but time after time we see those on the left acting crazy just at the sight of anything with the words MAGA on it.

To be transparent, I would find it just as corny if some helmet head had an Obama themed wedding.

How is having an ombudsman government regulation? The NY Times used to have one until recently.

Is Facebook pretending to be a news outlet or primarily something where people post pictures of their kids and pets?

Here is one example of why Facebook needs a public editor. When someone is live streaming a news event they are essentially a journalist. When FB censors someone live streaming a news event they need to be accountable to the public as to the why of the censorship. Facebook is not the NY Times but those in the journalist business say they are playing in the same sandbox. Facebook having an ombudsman would mean they would have some oversight as to accuracy, fairness, making corrections and keeping Facebook accountable to it's consumers. Facebook says they do this themselves in house but having a neutral outside ombudsman would be better especially to those of us who have concerns about their in house oversight at Facebook.

If someone is trusting some random person on the internet making a live video  and placing the same faith in them as they would Cronkite, they are being silly. 

The government can’t save every dummy from getting duped.

So in either scenario, are threats and death wishes really necessary?

Below is not isolated but it has been said by many other journalists as well:

Would you say that Facebook is a media company?

"I don’t know if a label’s important. It’s committing acts of journalism when it’s live-streaming events.

The industry went through this Oh God, who’s a journalist — how do we define a journalist? thing. At this point, you almost can’t. That is one of the beautiful things that’s happened, but, like everything, it’s a two-edged sword. The fact that it’s so open, so democratic, and so available to anyone with a phone … I’ve been in this business thirty years. It’s mind-boggling how it’s changed. I just came into television when it was going over to video: You used to have to mail cans of film! It’s astonishing, and it’s wonderful, and it’s rich, but it has a downside.

What rules, if any, do we make: That’s the next evolution. You may not be a journalist, but if you happen to be watching what happened in Dallas happen and you take out your phone, you are committing an act of journalism. It’s unfettered, unmitigated, it doesn’t have the context — that comes later. But it is an act of journalism, for sure."

I think she is a dipshit for having a wedding themed after a politician but wishing harm on her kid is awful. The kid has a dork ass mom who wears a MAGA dress. Life is hard enough for him.

So anyone with a cellphone is now considered a journalist? I guess if I own a car I am now a NASCAR driver.
