  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A House Oversight subcommittee chair is demanding the Biden administration hand over any documents detailing efforts to suppress information after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg accused the White House of engaging in censorship last month.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on cybersecurity, urged the White House to "cease and desist" any such activity with social media platforms in a letter sent to President Biden and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.


Why does the current Administration feel that they need to engage in election interference to stay in power?

The current administration is a threat to Democracy.
I don't understand. The Democrats have the most successful president ever ( by his own words), and a successor who radiates "joy", sweetness and light.

Why would they ever need to interfere with "democracy"?

Working with Pelosi to have her boss stabbed in the back for personal advancement is. The bait-n-switch is election interference because it disenfranchised millions of people who voted for Biden, not Kamala.
People were not disenfranchised. They knew they were voting for the Biden/Harris ticket. Biden stepped aside and the delegates were free to vote for any other candidates but chose to throw their support behind Harris.

No election interference.

This House Oversight Committee is legendary for making mountains out of molehills.
Yawn.
Could they be trying to deflect attention from their train wreck of a S.C. gubernatorial candidate by creating a fake Democratic scandal? Sigh.

Why is the ridiculous whining of billionaire tech bros like Zuckerberg et al. listened to by anyone, of any rank or political persuasion? I'm so tired of these robotic, barely human, utterly amoral nerds having the ear of anyone in government or society more generally. Zuckerberg, Musk, Thiel, etc. Go away, and take your Cambridge-Analytica scandals and tweets in favor of the "great replacement" conspiracy theory with you. "Social media" should have never progressed to this point. It's just pseudo-informational fentanyl for the dullest and/or least mentally fit members of your family and community to get dangerously high on, as they impulsively share LATEST BAD THING! without even bothering to check its veracity first (something which most people don't even know how to do, it seems; if they did, things like "the Haitians are eating our cats" wouldn't be a national political talking point; alas, we are apparently fated to live in the stupidest possible timeline).

And yes, I am aware of the silliness of voicing this particular opinion on a social media website. I don't know what to say to that other than that if you think that description fits this place as well, congratulations: you are me. I thought I was already me, but apparently not.
