> It’s astonishing to think of the implications of this. It means that quite possibly an entire generation of elected leaders in this country was not legitimately elected, if by legitimate we mean a well-informed public that is given a choice concerning the issues that affect their lives.
>
> Zuckerberg’s censorship – and this pertains to Google, Instagram, Microsoft’s LinkedIn, and Twitter 1.0 – denied the public a choice on the central matter of lockdowns, masking, and shot mandates, the very issues that have fundamentally roiled the whole of civilization and set the path of history on a dark course.

> And it is not just the US. These are all global companies, meaning that elections in every other country, all over the globe, were similarly affected. It was a global shutdown of all opposition to radical, egregious, unworkable, and deeply damaging policies.
>
> When you think about it this way, this is not just some minor error in judgment. This was an earth-shattering decision that goes way beyond managerial cowardice. It goes beyond even election manipulation. It is an outright coup that overthrew an entire generation of leaders who stood up for freedom and replaced them with a generation of leaders who acquiesced to power exactly at the time it mattered the most.
Elections:
> During two election cycles, the Covid response was not really in play as a public controversy. This helps account for why. It also means that any candidate who attempted to make this an issue was automatically downgraded in terms of reach.
>
> How many candidates are we talking about here? Considering all the US elections at the federal, state, and local levels, we are talking about several thousand at least. In every case, the candidate who was speaking out about the most egregious attacks on liberty came to be effectively silenced.

> A good example is the Minnesota governor’s race in 2022 that was won by Tim Walz, now running as VP with Kamala Harris. The election pitted Walz against a knowledgeable and highly credentialed medical expert, Dr. Scott Jensen, who made the Covid response a campaign issue. Here is how the vote totals lined up.
Minnesota Results
candidates | votes| pct.
—|—|—
Tim Walz (DFL)| 1,310,634| 52.3%
Scott Jensen (R)| 1,118,670| 44.6%
Total Votes| 2,507,834
>Of course, Dr. Jensen could get no traction at all on Facebook, which was enormously influential in this election and which just admitted that it was following government guidelines in censoring posts. In fact, Facebook banned him from advertising completely. **It reduced his reach by 90% and likely lost him the election.**

>Dr. Scott Jensen ran against Tim Walz for MN governor in 2022. Zuckerberg’s FB censored and falsely labeled his speech, directly putting its thumb on the scale in the election. I thought election interference & undisclosed in-kind donations to election campaigns were illegal, no?
He doesn’t care, anyone with half a brain knew not to trust facebook even 15 years ago. He wants people to trust him so he can push more lies down people’s throats.
Billioniares don’t care about the common man.
He could be worried that Trump will win and expose all the crap that facebook pulled on other candidates throughout the years, he’s definitely not afraid of the Biden/Harris team that’s for sure.
