Some History Is Politically Incorrect On Facebook
This morning I tried to post quotes on a Facebook Group on sons
and daughters of Confederates from a report on a skirmish in
1864 in Arkansas between the 5th Kansas Cavalry and the 2nd
Arkansas Confederate Cavalry, when I got this error message:
"You can't post this
This URL goes against our Community Standards on spam."
This is not the only post of mine that Facebook has censored.
This post today that was censored was on Family History, about a
skirmish in Arkansas in which a relative's horse was shot.
What is even more politically incorrect for fascist Facebook is
that this relative whose horse was shot was my Pyron
grandfather, when he was about 18. He said in his Confederate
Pension Application that he was not in any major battles but was
in a few skirmishes. Probably his Captain Hawkins included him
with the horse holders during the battles of Poison Spring and
Mark's Mill during the 1864 Campaign to drive the Federals out
of Arkansas. The Confederates in Arkansas were never really
defeated. He said his regiment was on patrol on the Red River
when they got word of Lee's Surrender and they all went home.
They were not defeated in battle. They did not formally
surrender. They just went home.

Texas Senate approves bill to stop social media companies from
banning Texans for political views
Some experts have raised doubts whether the bill will hold up in
court.
The Texas Senate early Thursday approved a bill that would
prohibit social media companies with at least 100 million
monthly users from blocking, banning, demonetizing or
discriminating against a user based on their viewpoint or their
location within Texas.
Senate Bill 12, sponsored by Republican state Sen. Bryan Hughes
of Mineola, was approved after 2 a.m. Thursday. The measure,
which would apply to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, among
others, would also require the companies to disclose their
content moderation policies, publish regular reports about the
content they remove and create an appeals process for user
content that has been taken down.
The Texas attorney general would be allowed to file suit against
any company that violates a provision of the bill. If upheld in
court, the attorney general could recoup "reasonable" attorney's
fees and investigative costs.
Experts have raised doubts about the legality of the measure.
Hughes acknowledged that, if signed into law, SB 12 would almost
certainly be challenged in court. He repeatedly referred to
social media platforms as common carriers, though they have
never been classified as such by law or in the court system.
Common carriers, such as phone companies and cable providers,
are private or public companies that transport goods or people
and are barred by government regulators from discriminating
against customers.
“Even though they’re private actors, because they are common
carriers, because they chose to enter this business and offer
their services, then they are bound by certain rules,” Hughes
said.
Facebook and Google, which owns YouTube, did not respond to
requests for comment. In remarks before Congress last week,
company executives denied removing content or blocking users
based on their viewpoints.
A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment specifically on SB
12, but said in a statement that the platform enforces "the
Twitter Rules judiciously and impartially for everyone on our
service — regardless of ideology or political affiliation — and
our policies help us to protect the diversity and health of the
public conversation."
The bill heads to the House, where two identical bills have been
filed but so far have not moved forward in the State Affairs
Committee.
During Tuesday’s debate on the bill, state Sen. Roland
Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, pointed out that while Facebook and
Twitter would be included under the measure, websites such as
Parler and Gab, which are popular among conservatives, would be
left out because they have fewer than 100 million monthly users.
He proposed an amendment that would have lowered the threshold
to 25 million monthly users, but it was voted down by a vote of
21-10.
Hughes stressed that the measure seeks to protect all
viewpoints. But at a press conference earlier this month, Gov.
Greg Abbott announced his support for the measure and chided
social media companies for leading a “dangerous movement” to
“silence conservative ideas [and] religious beliefs.”
The rhetoric about silencing conservatives ramped up following
the 2020 election, when platforms including Facebook and Twitter
removed former President Donald Trump’s account for inciting
violence during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection. Prior to
that, the platforms attached warnings to posts by Trump and
other conservatives who were, without evidence, sowing doubt on
the legitimacy of the election.
Republican politicians have long targeted technology giants —
accusing them of an anti-conservative bias and for silencing
free speech, even though the actions to ban members were often
in response to credible evidence that communications were
inciting violence. A February report by researchers at New York
University found that “there are no credible studies showing
that Twitter removes tweets for ideological reasons.”
In a congressional hearing last October, Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg told lawmakers that “Democrats often say that we
don’t remove enough content, and Republicans often say we remove
too much.”
“The fact that both sides criticize us doesn’t mean that we’re
getting this right, but it does mean there are real
disagreements about where the limits of online speech should
be,” he said.
Twitter in January purged more than 70,000 accounts linked to
the dangerous conspiracy theorist group QAnon for the movement’s
connection to the U.S. Capitol attack.
Hughes in 2019 filed a similar measure that won Senate approval,
but it ultimately died in committee in the Texas House.
Florida Governor Signs Social Media ‘Censorship' Bill
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday as part of
his campaign to reign in Big Tech companies when it comes to how
they handle the information they collect from consumers and in
how social media platforms treat their users.
DeSantis said the bill, signed at Florida International
University in Miami by the Republican governor, cracks down on
what he called social media "censorship" while safeguarding
Floridians' ability to access social media platforms.
"One of their major missions seems to be suppressing ideas that
are either inconvenient to the narrative or which they
personally disagree with," DeSantis said.
The bill also imposes hefty financial penalties against social
media platforms that suspend the accounts of political
candidates. The bill would fine companies $250,000 a day for
doing so.
DeSantis launched his offensive against social media companies
in February when he accused platforms like Facebook and Twitter
of censoring conservative ideology.
DeSantis said social media platforms have become modern-day
public squares, and the governor and others have accused social
media companies of censoring conservative thought by removing
posts or using algorithms that reduce the visibility of posts.
The bill, SB 7072, requires social media companies to be
transparent about content moderation practices and give notice
to users of changes to those policies.
Florida's attorney general can bring action against technology
companies that violate the law, under Florida’s Unfair and
Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and social media platforms found
to have violated antitrust law will be restricted from
contracting with any public entity, DeSantis said.
