Ron Paul: Congress shouldn’t ‘restrain’ Facebook

Posted by | May 11, 2016 21:00 | Filed under: Media/Show Business Politics


Why is Congress taking time to look into how Facebook gathers news? Don’t they have better things to do, like maybe confirm a Supreme Court justice?

Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Congress should not meddle with how Facebook curates the political content on its trending topics.

“I don’t know what his letter says but I would certainly be opposed, you’re correct, at the government, Congress or anybody else trying to restrain Facebook,” Paul said Wednesday on Fox Business Network, referencing a letter from Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

“I have no idea what [Thune] said but they should not get involved in regulating Facebook,” he added.

    I have a feeling Facebook cut the political comments that contained violence, and the conservative ones just happened to be violent. I don’t believe FB purposely banned conservatives, the conservatives got themselves banned.

    Ron doesn’t want Congress to restrain any billionaires?
    Imagine my surprise.
    How does he feel about restraining trans people in bathrooms?

    As a FB is a media outlet, I have to agree with Ron Paul.

    What’s the zip-code for Hell? I gotta go to weather dot com and check the current temp.

    its not facebook’s responsibility to suppress the news either unless they want a tabloid reputation
