With all the hype from Mainstream Media these days about freedom of the press and speech it's interesting to note that they; and now the Social Media giants are taking it upon themselves to decide what is, and what is not free speech; a precursor to "1984" (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/books/why-1984-is-a-2017-must-read.html) don't you think?
Facebook on Monday pulled down advertisements from President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign that sought to fire up conservative voters in two midterm battleground states with an ad deemed “racist” by major television broadcasters.
The company’s decision came after CNN, NBC, and Fox News had all pulled down the ad, which features a convicted cop-killer who was deported multiple times before he shot and killed two California sheriff’s deputies. The ad was released as a video by the Trump campaign last week.
