Frances Haugen just wants more Facebook censorship of conservatives

We don t agree with her characterization of the many issues she testified about, Pietsch said in a statement. Despite all this, we agree on one thing; it s time to begin to create standard rules for the Internet. It s been 25 years since the rules for the Internet have been updated, and instead of expecting the industry to make societal decisions that belong to legislators, it is time for Congress to act.

It seems like Haugen and Facebook have been on the same side this entire time. And it makes sense, as Haugen doesn t actually want to break up Facebook.

Instead, she d like the company to remain a billion-dollar monopoly imposing extreme-content regulations on its users. All while this is overseen by a federal agency created at her behest and staffed, no doubt, by former Facebook employees.

Haugen did leak some important information on Facebook s coverup of Instagram s negative effects on teen girls mental health (although who doesn t know this to be true?) and its lax treatment of drug cartels and human traffickers on its platform. But her drive for censorship won t remotely fix those issues.

Her objective is censorship. She wants Facebook and Instagram and all social-media companies, for that matter to enact safeguards to combat misinformation and hate.  However, given the hyper-politicized arena and the Democrats past form for weaponizing supposedly impartial government agencies to push a progressive-elitist agenda, many will assume this means banning of conservative content or that which is negative to the Democratic Party.
