The guy on the YouTube videos is a Liberal-leaning Libertarian who voted for Obama and didn't vote in 2016.

Try getting some actual FACTS before spewing your unsupported accusations and opinions. 

Also, I can't remember using only Breitbart for sources more than a couple of times.  Normally I only post the things they relayed from another reliable source.  You'd have to actually READ what I post to know that for sure.

If this is you having a discussion, you really do suck at it.  You are too lazy to spellcheck, too lazy to read or view the things we post for you, and too lazy to read the things you post for us that fell out of your Google search.

What good are you to anyone here?

**EDIT:  I just read this from you ......  LOL!! 

"Exactly.  I always question, even no matter the site.  But most humans are lazy so you have to meet them half way.  I've been using https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news  as my source of more middle news.  Atleast it gives me all 3 sides. "

Perhaps I got that wrong, there's so many videos and I do a lot of this on my phone so I can exactly full blast play videos so I miss many of them.   There's only so much you can do on your phone and I only have so much time to respond I am not retired or anything.  So forgive me if I spell something wrong.

Most humans are lazy to a degree.

Most humans aren't hypocritically accusing others in a discussion of laziness while making iPhone excuses for his own laziness.

So, there's that.

Like that?

I've already said I'm lazy.  Also I use android not an apple sheep.  You spell things wrong once in a while I don't go after you for that.   It's about the content, when you start just picking out the small stuff is because that's all you have left to argue against.

There's been something going wonky on my web editor on this forum.  Missing words happening many times.

Can't be me.

If spelling and vocabulary were all I had to argue, I'd only be posting those things.

Obviously, that's not true.

Tom never censored people, never sold my info, never tried to change my political views.  Just saying...

EEF,

We actually had this discussion recently about needing electricity from a company.  Long story short, if someone wanted to be environmentally friendly, they could cancel their HECO service.  If you own or rent, it doesn't matter, 1 can cancel it.

Pretty sure Myspace had certain standards whether they would not allow certain types of speech. A social media can either choose to moderate or not to moderate at all. Choosing not to moderate at all is very easy but the outcome can be quite nasty. Choosing to moderate is almost infinitely difficult because you have to draw a line where no clear line can be drawn. Facebook has chosen to moderate and that inevitably makes enemies. I don't think that their imperfect balancing act makes them a monopoly.

Can you live without power, running water, etc? Sure it can be done but generally utilities are considered necessities. Facebook is in no way a necessity. And to take your analogy further, the utilities are a monopoly because they control the means of delivery, not just because they are the only game in town. Facebook doesn't control the means of delivery therefore they don't have the power to shut down competitors like HECO could since HECO owns the power lines.

So why have “independent face checkers”?

Because FB has chosen to moderate their platform rather than let things run rampant and because moderating is a difficult thing to do. Drawing a line is difficult and then figuring out which side of the line some comment is on is difficult.

Hiring an outside source to perform the fact checking makes a lot of business sense. It keeps their hands cleaner and it outsources the task to specialists.

Go back and read the bolded that I was responding to... hint, it wasn’t a question I was looking for an answer to...

Re-read your bolded part, I didn't really explain how my answer related to your bolded part so my bad there.

Facebook is a business and it makes money from ad revenue. The more users they have the more ad revenue. If they don't try to maintain a certain semblance of order they risk losing a lot of users. They also don't want the bad press of congress grilling them about Russia buying advertisements to influence the election. They have a legitimate business interest trying to fact check and limit disinformation.

This was exactly, nearly word for word, phrased slightly different of what I said but they ignored it. 

Eliminating 50% of your clientele is the stupidest business decision you can make when you have the ability to get 100%.
