Blogger's Response to a Censorship by Facebook of a Shared Post regarding Venezuelans Wishing they were Still Armed
A few minutes ago, I had curated and share-posted an online article regarding the popular sentiment by Venezuelans wishing that they had not renounced and surrendered their privately owned firearms as demanded by a decree of the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.
In response to my unsuccessful postings, Facebook blocked them by citing certain "community standards" that rendered these postings as unwelcome.
I protested but doubt that my protest will persuade them to reverse their decision.
Given that recently the US Presidential contender Beto O'Roarke at a recent Democratic Party debate stated that if he were triumph in his bid for the US Presidency, come the election of the year 2020, that he would impose a nationwide confiscation drive of all privately owned Assault Rifles, particularly the AR-15 and AK47s.
Because the article I sought to share on Facebook is an affront to Beto's rhetoric and shows, in fast forward motion, how a gun confiscation drive would enable a politician to more easily impose tyranny over a previously free people who were previously free because they had been previously armed.
Thus this article which I sought to share or curate first on my blog and later on Facebook was too hot for them to permit and so they blocked me from posting it, and to justify such blockage, they speciously used their community standards to do so.
As a consequence of their creed discrimination against my right to free expressly my opinion, I am writing this dissent blog post in response.
I understand that Facebook is a privately owned entity and that this corporation is legally permitted to block certain types of material from being posted on the website.
But Facebook is not the only game in town - just the best known and the biggest.
