Ron Paul: Congress shouldn’t ‘restrain’ Facebook
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?

“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.

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

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