CNSNews.com, by Craig Bannister: On Sunday, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg announced the company’s latest efforts to institutionalize the demands of 90 left-wing organizations into the company’s operations, including disturbing efforts geared toward the 2020 elections.
Media Research Center President (MRC) Brent Bozell issued the following statement Tuesday on behalf of The Free Speech Alliance, a coalition of more than 50 conservative organizations committed to combating online bias and censorship.
“Sheryl Sandberg just announced that she is allowing the ACLU and 90 left-wing organizations to dictate nearly every aspect of Facebook’s policies. This will let the left dominate the most powerful social media platform on the face of the earth. That raises significant legal and statutory issues that should worry both left and right.
“Facebook hasn’t released the names of these groups, but the crux of their plans is clear – the influence of everything Facebook does from hiring more liberals to control of all content. That goes so far as to include advertising, partnerships and control of the product itself. Now these left-wing groups have the power over every post a conservative makes. Facebook can’t be a free marketplace of ideas with the left controlling everything and the firm’s No. 2 overseeing and embracing all they are doing.
“The company (is)getting in bed with these liberal organizations – especially in its efforts to prepare for the 2020 elections – should be deeply alarming to the conservative movement, Congress, potentially the FEC, and indeed all Americans. This was a big mistake on Facebook’s part. We hope they will rethink the decisions they have made.”
Our Comment:
Censorship means that the conservative voice won’t be heard. What will happen to Sabbath-keepers when these tools for censorship have been fully developed, and the sentiment against God’s people is whipped into a frenzy? Will they be betrayed by friends and family if they post online?

“All will be required to render obedience to human edicts in violation of the divine law. Those who will be true to God and to duty will be menaced, denounced, and proscribed. They will be betrayed ‘both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends.’ Luke 21:16.” Testimonies for the Church, volume 9, page 231.

Friday August 2nd, 2019 at 04:26 AMI have no doubt that, once the National Sunday Law and Global Sunday Law are passed, Facebook – and the other “big-tech” agencies in Silicon Valley – will be jumping on the campaign bandwagon to promote Sunday rest/worship and also punish and close down the accounts of any user that keeps the true Sabbath instead of Sunday. It will happen [the Mark of the Beast – Revelation Chapter 13]
