It's a disgrace!
I mean being banned from facebook for little things that offend no-one but facebook algorythms is bad enough, but today I was immediately banned for speaking the truth - again! The anti-maskers/anti-vacciners were out in force today, all of them being from the USA, as you might expect. So, quite correctly, I posted that 'All Americans were stupid!' How can that be seen as offensive when the evidence was right in front of them? Had facebook, which happily allows many such posts opposing the vaccine and mask wearing, all on the basis of 'freedom,' not banned me I would have posted the link to Kristin Lowery, a US mother of 4 who refused the vaccine, refused to wear a mask, and spoke out strongly against both. She died of Covid! 'Give a voice to the vaccine uninjured' is the poster she held. Now 4 schoolkids have no mother! Those who encourage opposition to vaccines ought to be jailed.
This has led to me being banned for 3 days by facebook. The post removed by facebook, and the Yanks involved free to continue spouting nonsense. If this goes on I may dump facebook or they may dump me.
Twitter is not so uptight, though I have myself reported several sites that were offensive, usually white supremacists, Old Firm fans, or Tory liars. I never block decent people who I disagree with. The hypocrisy of facebook knows no end. I suspect however, they will continue to listen in to all the other things I do on here...
I have been getting a few if these things on facebook recently. Usually a girl has decided that she must use this and passes it on so all her readers can join in. They are all cons gathering info, and soon dumping adverts and who knows what onto your screen. Naturally facebook does not stop them, I suspect they may send them out, but I never find them on Twitter. Possibly this is because Twitter has a higher class of psychotic inebriate than facebook, possibly they just do not land on my page.
I glanced at one email offering this morning with something 'FREE' in a bright yellow shade. However, I dumped it to quick to take note who it was from. Usually email is a scammer using others hacked address book, with the sending email always obscure.
Scams appearing to be from E-bay and Amazon have passed through, and in the distant past when I knew nothing I enter details into one page thinking it genuine (about 20 years ago) and had 10 years of email spam, often 20-30 a day, for a long time afterwards. Changing ISP ended that.
I suppose after porn the easiest way to get rich quick is spam, or hacking into an account. I still think getting a job safer mind.

Mustn't criticise Americans...they are very touchy...well, the lot that infest this area are.
One was spouing off how he had 'stumbled upon' a lovely stretch of land with wonderful views and how he just felt he could not keep it all to himself so he was going to share it with others. Most annoyed when I said 'oh, you're selling plots of land, then.'
I'm not fond of FB....and can't cope with Twitter at all....but it helps to keep in touch with people - tempting though it is to wade in on some of the more bizarre posts! Someone signed me up for a Brits in France group and it is hysterical to see how anyone who makes a criticism of the sacred hexagon is shot down by a baying mob in minutes. most of whom need a brain implant.
I have FB and Twitter but only use them to read what I want. Both are useful but some people live their lives by them.
Can you remember the Smallpox epidemic in the 60's, and we all had to be vaccinated, from what I can remember we just went along got jabbed and that was it. I cant recall any opposition to it, although there was none from within my family circle I expect there was in some quarters.
Fly, Imagine an American on the make! Twitter and facebook can produce a crowd when required. Many call their mates in to crowd you out. That has not stopped me yet on twitter. FB is the only way I can contact some family however.
Dave, Indeed, Polio jab at 5, BCG at 12 and it was what was done. This 'freedom' and anti-vax all begins in the USA and spreads through daft people here.
