Facebook Policies

For those of you who use Facebook, you should be aware of their policies and proposed changes to them.  Some of the policies are ambiguous at best and can be interpreted in a very broad manner to prevent users from posting content that is deemed politically incorrect (censorship).

For instance, rule #7 under paragraph 3 (Safety) in Statement of Rights and Responsibilities:

"You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence."

"Hate speech" is a subjective term and is therefore a tool that can be arbitrarily applied to limit your speech since it can be defined in almost any way one wishes.  It can be used to censor the truth when speaking about other religions or cultures, and can be employed to support other culture's laws such as Sharia.  Restricting "hate speech" is also the beginning of government control over the content of the Internet since they can dictate what is considered hate speech, and what is not.

Prohibiting language that "incites violence" can be used to enforce Sharia blasphemy laws.  If this restriction means you cannot explicitly direct others to commit violent acts, that is understandable.  However, it should not be used to prohibit speech that may precipitate a violent reaction because another does not like what is said.  The perpetrator of the violence is responsible for their own actions, not the writer.  However, much like the lie that the Benghazi attack was in reaction to "The Innocence of Muslims" video, violent reactions to speech are quickly used as a reason to limit what citizens are allowed say.  In fact, the latter interpretation encourages the blatant use of violence to intimidate others to self-censor their speech.

(Read more about freedom of speech in "Appeasement and Betrayal.")

In conclusion, Facebook needs to clarify some of the policy statements so that users know exactly what they mean.  After seeing where Facebook is headed with their policies, citizens may want to pay more attention to the policies being created.  (You could leave comments on Facebook's "Proposed Updates to our Governing Documents" page until this past week.  If you have issues with their proposed and current policies, you might be able to contact them directly.)

Republicans for Obama??? Sure . . .

Update 2/29/08
Read Republicans for Obama Phony as Suspected

Original article follows here:

Well you’ve got to hand it to Barack Hussein Obama’s folks. Now there’s a so-called Republicans for Obama web site that claims at least 400+ members. It was probably created by lefty trolls masquerading as Republicans and they are beginning to gather a few mindless dupes who don’t have a clue as to what “conservative” actually means.

Here’s some typical R.F.O. Forum banter:

“Obama is a leap of faith. But what politician isn't? When I think of my children and the sort of world I want them to inherit, I am willing to set aside economic self-interest and some differences of opinion in the service of unity and the hope Obama represents. I suspect there a good many people out there who feel the same way.”

Here’s one response (it’s the only response so far):

“I will agree, Obama is a leap of faith. And as you put, any time you put your future into someone's hands, whether politician, employer, husband or wife, it's a leap of faith. Otherwise, you can stand there with your feet firmly planted on the ground, in the same old same old. "

Ok we’ve got it. These nit wits are willing to take a “Leap of faith” and are willing “to set aside economic self-interest” for the sake of “unity” and “hope”. Do you really buy that???

Translation: “We are liberal university students and our well-healed parents foot all of our bills. We’ve never held jobs because most jobs are beneath us and there are plenty of undocumented workers to fill those needs. After we graduate we’ll continue to agitate until most of your wealth is redistributed to us so that we can take our cut as we redistribute it to those victims who are less intelligent and less fortunate than us! All we have to do is hope that Obama will convince you to feel guilty enough to hold our hands as we unite to sing “Cum-ba-ya.”

Yesterday’s Republicans for Obama press release:

R.F.O. has been asked to appear on the Fox News Channel Program, "Your World with Neil Cavuto." The time of the interview is schedule for 4:05 p.m. EST this afternoon. More details should be relayed within the next few minutes but I wanted to get the word out as quickly as possible. This may be our first opportunity to reach a national TV audience with our message of unity of purpose for Senator Obama's candidacy. Wish me luck, say a few prayers, watch the show and if you have a VCR, please tape it.

R.F.O. Forum also has a posting encouraging members to join the Obamacans group. “Raise awareness to other Facebook users! This is a great way to show your support in a Social Networking environment. Many young voters have profiles on Facebook, come join and relay the messages on this site to the Obamacans group.”

Just for the heck of it, why not subscribe to your R.F.O. state chapter and take your patriotic place as a conservative troll???
