\"\" In one of Zuckerberg\u2019s more egregious moves, a disabled veteran who runs a conservative media outlet and spent $300,000 for ads on Facebook, and who has a very large following (over 3 million people), has been banned from Facebook along with his non-political coffee company. Click on the link to see the “not found” FB page. \u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MilitaryGradeCoffee<\/a> . https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2018\/10\/16\/facebook-deletes-disabled-veterans-page-without-warning-after-taking-300000-for-ads\/<\/a> Facebook has also deleted Kolfage\u2019s FB page for his company Military Grade Coffee.net<\/a>, as shown above. The left-wing alternative media outlet Reverb Press has also been banned from Facebook. https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2018\/10\/19\/facebook-blacklists-left-wing-site-that-praised-purge-of-infowars\/<\/a> Reverb Press was just one of the hundreds of pages, which included independent news outlets,\u00a0banned<\/a>\u00a0from Facebook and Twitter this month, such as the news page of a disabled veteran who had\u00a0invested<\/a>\u00a0more than $300,000 in Facebook advertising. In an article published following Reverb Press\u2019 ban, Infowars\u00a0declared<\/a>, \u201cReverb Press\u2019s last post was on October 11th, the day of the banning, so it appears the site has been shut down. This is why you defend free speech no matter who is in the crosshairs<\/u><\/em>.\u201d \u00a0I tried the link for Reverb Press and get “not available”. Neither Kolfage nor Reverb Press\u2019s owner has reported whether or not any money paid for advertising was returned to either of them. At this point, this appears to me to be as much an FCC matter as a First Amendment matter. I have dealt with the FCC regarding someone who said he represented my cable TV company and wanted to know if I wanted internet service. This was some time ago before I bought a computer for use at home. I told him no, that I didn\u2019t have a computer at home, and had no use for internet service. Undaunted, he signed my name to a contract I had not agreed to and the cable company started billing me for service I didn\u2019t have, so I contacted the FCC and filed a complaint about it, with copies of my driver\u2019s license and other documents requiring a signature, demonstrating clearly that I had not signed any contract for internet service. It was fraud, plain and simple. RCN very quickly sent me a revised bill and gave me about 9 months\u2019 worth of free cable TV. In my view, while Mssrs. Kolfage and Belisle (Reverb Press) have completely opposing views, they both have a valid FCC complaint against Facebook.<\/p>\n

Either Zuckerberg ponies up and gives them what they paid for and restores their access, or they get permanent free FB ads for the remainder of FB\u2019s existence, along with the hundreds of others whose FB pages were abruptly shut down. Zuckerberg owns Facebook, yes, but his facility is presented as a place for open communication. He doesn’t own what people say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
