social network for conservatives
Does facebook discriminate against conservatives?
I've run the group The Conservative Underground on facebook as well as start a page. The page has some 7,700 members and growing.
Seems funny that I frequently get warnings my account will be disabled due to misuse. I frequently contact other conservatives and group creators to discuss networking. What good is facebook if you cannot contact friends or people with similar interest?
I wonder if the "other side" has the same problem?
Thoughts?

If even half of what is posted in this link is true, then it would seem obvious that facebook does indeed have a political agenda.
Wow at the blatent censorship.

This is interesting. The following is totally anecdotal insofar as its evidential value, but it is true enough nonetheless. I have several FB accounts, one of them is basically my "real" one, the others I created so my kids could use FB under my supervision. All the accounts run from my one home computer, but only my "real" account has ever had any problems. And it HAS had lots of problems--every time I post something very conservative in nature (for example, about Obama, or the war in Gaza), my account starts to act up. Either I can't log in at all, or my login and password have been changed due to "misuse", and on one occasion my account was locked for two days because it was suspected that it was just a spam site. None of this has happened with the other accounts, even though they run in basically the same way from the same computer, and all of it has happened ONLY when I post something conservative.
I'm just sayin'....

Well....
That's why I started this :-)
There are other people I've talked to with the same issue. But I guess why should FB be any different than MSM?
All I have to say is after Jan 20th... You can't go - uh, well, ummm, above paygrade, breath anizer, blah blah... -

I haven't either, and I do belong to several conservative groups and frequently post conservative status messages (and send way too many anti-liberal Flair and Bumper Stickers!). The link that was posted on this page was actually discussing a 2005 group, which was way before there were a lot of people and groups on board (when it was originally a school-based site). Because it contained a slight sexual reference (Don't Sleep with Feminists) it may have been banned more for that than any other reason. There are a lot of crap groups on there now that so they have definitely become much more tolerant, although still concerned about nudity, etc. (ie the recent forced removal of breastfeeding photos).

I think this is very interesting. I'm on several conservative sites and haven't had any problem. But the potty mouthed libs that get on those sites to start arguments!! It says right at the top, no profanity...Hey, I'm no prude, but some of it is really over the top. And one of these kids started sending me messages. Got pretty uptight when I posted what he was saying on the group then! I wasn't about to let him get away with what he was doing in private. So why is it these people can talk like sailors (no offense to our servicemen!! :) )and get away with it and y'all are just talking and get banned? I don't get it...no, I guess I really do.
