My FB feed is filled with DNC reps posting on how its the GOPs and Trumps fault for the shutdown and increasing medical prices.

Add in ICE being blamed for doing bad things.

It seems like good ole FB is back at it.

Unless FB resumes censoring conservative/GOP supportive posts, i'll give them the benefit of a doubt.

Free speech means protecting the right to say things that people don't like.  That applies to both sides of the political coin.  It's when FB uses a 2-headed coin that we have to worry.

I don't get it.  Without anything other than what you see on your individual timeline only proves you know a lot off people who share it, giving FB an indication that those people and their FB friends like that type of content more than other types.

Maybe you need a better class of FB friends?  What I'm saying is, I assume most of your friends and family are Democrats given your state of residence.

99% of my friends are here.

None of the "ads" on my feed are reshares or likes by people on my friends list. FB and IG shows this if ur friend liked/shared.

Many are from other states dnc congressmen that have nothing to do with HI, so its not a demographic thing (refer to above abt friends being here)

Ill even get articles on my feed from conservative news or post that are 2-3 days old. Dates are shown when the post are created. Compared to the above thats same day.

I have deleted most of my friends who have TDS as all they repost/share are TDS stuff. I got tired of it coming on my feed.

Im no social media expert, but what im saying is the increase is out of the norm.

You can chose to believe/show its another factor, but i dont.

"None of the "ads" on my feed are re-shares or likes by people on my friends list."

FB algorithms don't need your friends to like or share something for you to see it in your timeline.  Being friends is a big factor, but not always the one with the most weight.

There are so many factors that go into what ads you see including what things you've marked as having some or no interest in.

If not mistaken, many ads on FB are sponsored, meaning someone paid them to make sure it gets views.  Maybe it's as simple as the Left spends much more $$$ on FB for their marketing than the Right does.  The Right doesn't think they need to market their ideas as much as the Left, since the Left has a hard time competing with opposing ideas.

Facebook uses your likes and follows to target ads to you.

Sometimes, the increase in ads is simply because you match a particular demographic that advertisers are targeting. Your age, location, interests, and even your job can make you more valuable to certain advertisers.

I have a Facebook channel, but I don't post any gun stuff on it. Many of my former co-workers and relatives have severe TDS. it's kind of amusing to see the kind of stuff they say.

Facebook, Reddit, Google, etc are deep state mind control software.

They use “nudges” in order to herd people into ideological concentration camps.

A lot of us were really displeased when Trump cozied up to them recently, because we knew the knives would come back out as soon as it was convenient for them.
