Who will regulate Facebook's overreach?

Recently, on U.S. television I've been noticing a most disturbing commercial, Facebook repetitively broadcasts its support for "Internet regulations". I'm asking myself some serious questions, since criticism of "CHRISTIAN ZIONISM" is now off the table? CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS like Steve Bannon (adviser of Trump), who admit they do not want Jews living in their midst, don't want their children attending in the same schools as Jewish children, and pressures Jews to move to Palestine, knowing the military dangers, and knowing an ongoing escalating refugee crisis is the result of U.S. 3.8 billion dollars in military funding, endangers both Jews and Palestinians. "XTIAN ZIONISM" and its history of Antisemitism... yes, this page was recently threatened with "Unpublishing" for criticizing Nazis and Xtian Zionism... ACLU.

Is Facebook aware that CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS, are NOT Jews and that Judaism and Zionism are NOT synonymous... surely they are, and according to XTIAN ZIONIST theology, all the Jews are to be forced by "divine retribution" to return to Palestine, drive out the inhabitants, and then cometh the Apocalypse and a smattering of Jews, the remnant of which are forced to convert to Xtianity or else (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=198443680569940).

Why Antisemites Love Israel

It's occurring across America – a phenomenon in which antisemites are also pro-Israel. Here's how that's even possible.

Facebook will threaten to unpublish a page on its "private business" IF you criticize Nazis and CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS, because that's the "crime" against their policies a moderator claimed... and, actually, the post was absent of criticism of Jews, but criticism of a century old political movement which was started by Christians, "Zionism" a non-religious political movement to acquire land, resources, and major backers were White Supremacist colonialists.

IN SPITE of Jewish scholars who try to educate the public that part of Anti-Semitism is a direct result of the "Myth of the Jewish Race" which was a favorite theme in Adolf Hitler's propaganda machinery, that, the post in question was an attempt to educate the public about, and was promptly used as an excuse by Facebook to "Unpublish" this page. Facebook supports updated Internet regulations? My final question is this, because I am led to presume, Facebook has its own misguided political bias: "Who will regulate Facebook's overreach?"

What happens everywhere there is Repression?
USA Today states: “…It took just 15 minutes for Facebook to delete her post for violating its community standards for h*te speech. And she was warned if she posted it again, she'd be banned for 72 hours. Wysinger glared at her phone, but wasn't surprised. She says black people can't talk about racism on Facebook without risking having their posts removed and being locked out of their accounts in a punishment commonly referred to as “Facebook jail.”
“It is exhausting,” she says, “and it drains you emotionally.”
Black activists say h*te speech policies and content moderation systems formulated by a company built by and dominated by white men fail the very people Facebook claims it's trying to protect. Not only are the voices of marginalized groups disproportionately stifled, Facebook rarely takes action on repeated reports of racial slurs, violent threats and harassment campaigns targeting black users, they say.
Many of these users now think twice before posting updates on Facebook or they limit how widely their posts are shared. Yet few can afford to leave the single-largest and most powerful social media platform for sharing information and creating community.”

Really? Is Facebook "too big to fail"? According to reports, around 15,000,000 (fifteen million) users have already left, rather than to face the iron boot of bureaucracy on their neck, and for simply being human, who values respect for their privacy and personal rights.

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech
What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --

After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

Robert J. Fischer, Kid Chess Wizard 1956March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
