Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Facebook Bans Free Speech

    Mark Zuckerberg has banned all posts on Facebook which deny that the Holocaust ever took place.
    This action is tantamount to saying "Shut up, your opinion doesn't count, we're not going to listen to you, or give you the chance to express an opinion, you bigoted scum. The Holocaust happened, as the Official History states, so believe it."
    Holocaust deniers/doubters have been a thorn in the side of Holocaust believers for a while now. Just what does Zuckerberg and his kind fear from these people? That they might find an uncomfortable truth? :eek:

    An uncomfortable truth?
    You trying to allude to something there?

    Facebook is not a free speech site, nor as a matter of interest is boards.
    Holocaust denial is frankly abhorrent and that it is a hill you wish to stake a claim to "free speech" on?
    Says far more about you, than Zuckerberg!

    If your free speech is 'banned', then how are you able to write this?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    This is a technical forum, not a place to discuss whether FB should ban Holocaust posts or not.

    Perhaps Conspiracy Forum would suit, try there.
