Cruz did not ask Zuckerberg, but could have, about Facebook’s choking off of sites that oppose jihad terror. He could have asked him why Facebook’s Vice President Joel Kaplan traveled to Pakistan in July 2017 to assure the Pakistani government that it would remove “anti-Islam” material. That endeavor had already started before Kaplan’s trip. In mid-February 2017, traffic to Jihad Watch from Facebook dropped suddenly by 90% and has never recovered.
We do not post any hateful or provocative material and neither incite nor approve of violence, but Facebook is acting as judge, jury and executioner in all this. There is no appeal and no recourse. Facebook is implementing Sharia blasphemy laws, and also doing everything it can to muzzle all opposition to the Left before the 2018 elections, so as to ensure that they will turn out in a way that will make it easier to destroy Trump and stop the swamp-draining.
Will these hearings stop all that? Unlikely. But it is good that at least some light is being shed upon it.
“Ted Cruz Grills Zuckerberg Over FB’s Censorship Of Conservatives,” by Amber Athey, Daily Caller, April 10, 2018:
Sen. Ted Cruz clearly rattled Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg Tuesday by grilling him about Facebook’s well-documented censorship of conservatives.
Zuckerberg had a relatively easy time facing questioning during his Tuesday testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees until Cruz took over the helm.
Cruz noted the number of examples of Facebook censoring conservatives, including labeling conservative commentators Diamond and Silk as “unsafe,” hiding stories about the IRS targeting conservatives and blocking over two dozen Catholic pages.
“To a great many Americans, that appears to be a pervasive pattern of political bias,” Cruz said. “Do you agree with that assessment?”
Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook’s location in the highly-liberal Silicon Valley could concern conservative users, but assured Cruz that the platform tries to be unbiased.
“Are you aware of any ad or page that has been taken down from Planned Parenthood?” Cruz shot at the tech billionaire….
Remember911 says
Diamond & Silk: two sweet ladies who basically are middle-of-the-road conservatives, but their “crime” is supporting Pres. Trump, who in the eyes of the green-haired, nose-ringed lesbians and the Muslim activists staffing FB’s censorship bureau must –MUST — be taken down, by any and all means.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Diamond and Silk must be terrorist, as Zuckerberg indicates terrorist as been justly censored (which everyone would agree), however Diamond and Silk are Trump supporters as you say.
No doubt Diamond and Silk will be up and running on Face Book very soon.
It is clear that the left leaning of Facebook employees is reflective of Zuckerberg himself.
It would be helpful if Zuckerberg were big enough to admit it, that it is not only terrorist that are censored.

ZUCKERBERG DUMPED HIS STOCK BEFORE THE TROUBLE BECAME PUBLIC
HE CLAIMED: he only learned of the massive data breach when you did, and only through the media. Don’t be gullible.
WE KNOW: the only things he is serious about are – weaponizing Facebook against patriots, libertarians, and conservatives by censoring them, and, making sure he protects as much of his wealth as possible.

Insider Trading? Zuckerberg Began Dumping Stock Before Data Breaches Became Public
Duncan Thorburn says
Just got another 30 Day ban on FaceBook. That is the third Ban this year.
mortimer says
The censorship is indeed a “PERVASIVE PATTERN OF POLITICAL BIAS”.
Does FACEBOOK have a FREE SPEECH CODE? Or anything in their rules that require the company to enforce the First Amendment?
It is noteworthy that one of the founders of Facebook, Jawed Karim is of Bengali heritage and his girlfriend is also a Muslim.
Is it a coincidence that FB censors pages that are critical of JIHAD TERRORISM? COINCIDENTAL?
Daniel Triplett says
Nice work Brother. Stay strong.
Roderick MacUalraig says
Indeed! Must be doing something right!
No Muzzies Here says
Zuckerberg has long been in the employ of the left, and of the forces that would engulf this country with a seventh century ideology of violence and death.
He is doing his best to appear serious in this interview. The suit and tie are out of place on this ethically-deprived individual. His efforts to appear concerned, and his use of a clever trick, the emotional voice crack bit in the throat to convince us of his sincerity, all fail miserably before the obvious fact that he knowingly collected personal information and sold it for a pretty penny.
He is unconvincing. He is clever. He has fooled a lot of people. Not me.
RichardL says
I was actually surprised that he admitted that Facebook is left-leaning, because it is based in Silicon Valley.
I am not on Facebook, use DuckDuckGo and use a VPN. There is some choice, but I wished there was alternatives to Youtube and that I don’t have to write to people using Gmail. On the other hand, I have no problem with the NSA looking at anything I produce.
Tom says
I have avoided using facebook as I did not feel comfortable putting all my person info on someone elses server where it would be available to them for any future purpose. From what has happened it appears my gut feelings were correct.
Liberals have had control of most things media for decades and this latest facebook scandal proves they will do anything to destroy any opposition to their agenda, including weaponizing our information against us.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Wise decision.

Why would anyone have anything to do with a company (and a fortune) that was built by taking advantage of human loneliness and social envy?
gravenimage says
Not everyone who uses Facebook is lonely or consumed with envy. A lot of families use it to keep in touch, and a lot of artists use it to keep people up to date about their work.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
You’re bending my words.
Besides, I do everything you listed without ever going near facebook. I don’t think I’m any smarter that the average FB user so why can’t they?
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
So be careful what you InstaGoogle TweetFace!

Zuckerberg is such a moron and a liar.
Wellington says
Well, assuming that he is, he’s a billionaire moron and liar. Not a good combo.
mortimer says
Agree with Wellington that Mr. Z is a MORON IN ETHICS.
Mr. Z is apparently AMORAL.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
He’s no moron. He recognized the human weaknesses regarding social dynamics and he recognized how to take advantage of them. He recognized that he could scale it up with high speed technology: Voila, billions of users! And we just let him like the empty-headed techno-sheep we are; we couldn’t wait to sign up! He laughed at us then, he laughs at us now and he continue to laugh at us under his veneer of sincerity.
If only 1% of the bio movie’s portrayal of him is true then he is truly is a very slippery character.
The only way to stop him is to bankrupt him by walking away.
Wellington says
Yes, I agree with you that Zuckerberg is no moron, anymore than the Clintons or Obama are morons, but all of them are exceedingly foolish and destructive human beings—-and users of other human beings as you noted, all of which very much tends to prove that no amount of intelligence and skill level is a guarantee against horrendous and immoral results. After all, look at people like Marx, Lenin and Goebbels for further confirmation of this verity.
JayT says
Ugh, Zuck’s defense in the clip was basically that ol’ Japanese corporate saying of the light from the top of the lighthouse doesn’t reach the ground. In other words, he’s at the top but doesn’t know what his minions are doing. The standard typical excuse given by just about every CEO that appears in front of Congress.
I watched some, not all, of his testimony before Congress and he’s fairly knowledgeable based on his other answers of how his company is operating from top to bottom. I simply don’t believe him here when he tries to argue ignorance in this aspect……

He has dead eyes. Dead, emotionless eyes and that expressionless, ultra-pale face.
He is extraordinarily creepy – I don’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

Ted is one of the few that is worth a crap.

Mark Zuckersliberg is the slickest S.O.B today . He has done to America and world on social media what the the sprevious slick president did in politics
Gabi says
“He” has done? No, we did it to ourselves. Who forced you to open a FB account? He does what any good businessman does – identifies a need/desire and markets a product to it. If your data was used, then you’re the stupid moron for putting it out there in the first place. Anyone on FB (and that doesn’t include me – I don’t have an account) has only himself to blame.
Kathy says
Facebook blocked me about three years ago because of my activism (I was sharing the truth about many things, like GMOs, Chemtrails, pharmaceutic mafia, secret manipulations by US government and agencies, etc). I dhad an account without my real name and my own photos. I never trusted them, and now I do not trust them at all!!!
They blocked me soon after I posted who really controls them (NSA and CIA), because that is true. Then I got a message that they will unblock my account when I provide a legal government document with my photo, and to send them my phone number! Of course I do not want to share my private data with someone I do not know who the person is, hiding behind that company. I knew they are collecting data of everyone there, making detailed profiles of everybody.
Now I can see the proof of everything I thought and felt about Facebook.

One has to ask why Jewish billionnaires are so eager to help Muslim terrorists…………..????
WPM says
OWG ,Soros ,Zuckerburg ,they are interest in all power in the hands of a few people they think they will be members of that club. If a lot of “other” people are enslaved, or die ,or cultures are erased (including Jewish culture and Christian culture, Western culture) it will matter to them not one wit.
Gabi says
Whatever “power” he has is only what people were stupid enough to give him. Why can’t you cretins get this? Blaming someone else for your stupidity is… stupid.
