Bernie Sanders Facebook Groups Deleted from Facebook

Haha take that Sanders! My girl Hillary will always play the game better than you! How can anyone want to vote for sanders!? Don't they know he will repeal glass-steagel! Idiots! Do you think Sanders is gonna keep terror alive & allow the US to dominate countries for their oil? No way! We need hillary for that. I hope she spends even more of our tax dollars on these sorts of sanders online assaults!

Gogo Hillary/Bill 2016!

It should also be clear WHO facebook supports .. and afterall Facebook is a private company and they can easily discriminate against someone without being liable .. it's in their T&C.

I think it's more funny that campaigns rely on portals like Facebook to get their point across.

They just kicked in some good old fashioned socialism early for you guys. The establishment decided that the means of production (Bernies Facebook page) did not suit the common good, so they went ahead and took control of it. It's Democracy at it's finest, there just happened to be more Hillary supporters when they took the vote. Man I hate systems that don't protect the minority.

Why dont we just read Hillary Clinton E-mails to find out if she did it?

Glad to here that you believe in Peter Pan and Santa Claus.

Adding an update here about the Sander's FB group removal; It wasn't just reports of porn under suspicion to close the pages, people had actually added it to the groups to make sure that the groups were removed.

"Hillary backers spam Bernie groups with kiddie porn"
NYPost

Strange as that sounds last week Facebook removed my complete Group list from my home page. I only had 6 groups but they where important to me. So maybe Bernie losing his was nothing unusual. I think Facebook is doing some more tinkering and it has screwed up a bunch of people.

They're known for deleting groups and banning users for political opinions. Although usually it's to please the third-wave feminist hate swarms.

Depending on the content of your groups, it could be they were removed for political purposes.

I'm not discounting your "just tinkering gone wrong" theory, which is probably correct, just pointing out this is known behaviour of facebook.

No, this was a targeted attack. Please note my post above yours, which was posted by someone else

A paid Hillary supporter purposely flooded Sanders on-line presence with porn, including child, in an effort to get Sanders' presence deleted.

Either someone got carried away about their mission and went way overboard, or they took instructions and then were thrown under the bus. We may never know.

But, supposedly Sanders FB is cleaned up now.

.

If Hilary is unwittingly spending money on something of unimportantance, then who knows what else will she be spending the country's money on?

As for Sanders.. This is a simple fix.. Make another group and maybe he'll get double the following.

Trump is just smiling knowing Hilary's campaign tatics are more ridiculous than his free speech hatred.

Thats always a possibility If I where making political statements. However, none of my groups have anything to do with politicians, or political groups what so ever. All my groups where about how to do stuff, 3D printing, and Steampunk.

Blue, you are correct. I was informed in another forum that my FB page had been hacked for porn. I answered several questions from FB. They released my page and I carried on. But my group list disappeared completely a couple days later.

Gee, it sounds like the people abusing the system and being abusers have more protection than the people being abused.

It is exactly like this on YouTube as well. Anyone can report a video as being a copyright infringement, and YouTube will immediately take down the video no questions asked, and set a derogatory mark on the YouTube channel. After 3 marks, your channel gets shut down.

You can fight it, but it take a long period of time, many weeks and sometimes months. If your video was time sensitive, or based on a current event, it basically makes your video useless by the time you get it back.

It is just the way high traffic websites operate because it's too expensive for the company to have someone (or an entire team) validate all these claims.

Unfortunate.

Think of this as just a successful 'Million Dollar' trial run. Imagine what a President Clinton can do by applying BILLIONS of Federal dollars to this same program.

As President, Hillary would have less power to do this. Right now this is all happening through PAC's in order to maintain a chain of plausible deniability. Those PAC's wouldn't be active during most of a Clinton presidency, so she would instead have to do things through the executive branch which would bring more people into the loop and create a paper trail.

Well, they're a publicly traded company, right? I mean you can buy stock in Facebook right? So they aren't a "private" company -- they are beholden to their shareholders.

I'm not sure, but I think they would want to be known as open and transparent when it came to politics so that they could retain as many users (potential customers for advertisers) as possible.

It is clear to me that Bernie is getting the same treatment Romney and his supporters did to Ron Paul in 2012.
If you were here in 2012 you know all about it. That's ok when you do that and piss off lets say 15% of the primary voters to the point they won't come back to you in the General, then you just shot yourself in the foot, because you disrespected potential allies. Already at least 20% of Sander voters said they "might" park their vote with Trump, just because.

So to the Hilliary people trolling the Sanders people, showing them no respect, this isn't 2008, where the Hillary people all came over to Obama. Laugh it up while you can, you misunderstand the mood of the electorate this round, more of those trolling games and you will certainly lose to Trump in the general. Just like Romney lost to Obama, because he pretty much lost all the Ron Paul people in the general because of the massive disrespect, when he already had the win in the bag.

Romney's loss had nothing to do with Paul supporters. Even if they all voted for him (2 million from the primaries) he still loses by 3 million. His losses had to do with losing the moderate, women s and minority votes. Just as while Sanders supporter would make a win all that much easier, Clinton still has an easy path without them in particular if Trump is the challenger.

Seems like a little too much over-reach to shut Sanders down after yesterday. Why bother?

Yet censorship is her MO...

That remains to be seen, and I disagree 100% that if all Sander primary voters abandon the DNC it will not be an "easy path", you think Trump was hard on his contemporaries, he was holding his fire compared to what is about to be unleashed on Clinton.

I don't see it dying off like MySpace anytime soon. Facebook has been forcefully integrated into our society on a deep level. I'm pretty sure they'll do whatever the heck they want (or rather what the government/CIA wants them to do) & couldn't care less about transparency.
