OPINION: Accusations Concerning Censorship of Conservative Stories on Facebook are Ridiculous

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced that due to the recent allegations against his company that conservative stories are filtered out, he will be holding a meeting with U.S. conservatives. Facebook has been accused of not posting any conservative stories and promoting “progressive” ideas. Zuckerberg has denied all accusations.

Conservatives are reading too much into this. These people who are making these allegations are the kind of people that you would see at Trump rallies and the people who just seem to have an urge to fight someone all the time. When they don’t get that, they turn to social media.

Facebook is a global company, and is a huge social media network across the U.S. Avoiding controversy can be a large priority. The problem with this is that any news can be turned into an argument if someone really wants it to.

People should just refrain from posting their political views on social media. Those kinds of posts almost always turn into arguments or “heated discussions”. Some people just like to argue all the time.

The fact that this is even happening proves that some people have too much time on their hands. If people are spending so much time on Facebook that they notice small insignificant details like how only “progressive” stories are being posted, then therein lies the real problem.
