Sir, this is a <i>meme<\/i>. What meme isn\u2019t missing context?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Similarly, my colleague at BASEDPolitics, Jack Hunter, recently tried to post a screenshot from Rand Paul\u2019s Twitter account to Facebook on a fan page for the senator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here\u2019s what happened. According to him, it wasn\u2019t the first time, either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1790.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1790.png 295w, https:\/\/www.based-politics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1790-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/www.based-politics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1790-150x325.png 150w, https:\/\/www.based-politics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1790-194x420.png 194w\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Merely sharing the thoughts of a sitting member of Congress apparently gets you locked out of Facebook for a time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Still, unlike many on the center-right, I\u2019m not going to use this to argue for big government interventions in the market place like antitrust or actual free speech violations like giving the government control over content moderation. Not necessary. Facebook is eating itself in real time. Turns out the free market works, you just have to give it time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I built my initial platform on Facebook. I\u2019ve used it to reach millions of people with my views and my brand. I\u2019ve used it to organize major-grassroots movements that have led to significant policy reforms. I\u2019ve made money off of it. I\u2019ve springboarded growth on other social media platforms through my initial following there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But increasingly, my relationship with Facebook feels like we\u2019re slow dancing in a burning room (if you don\u2019t know that John Mayer song, stop and go listen immediately). I have over 35,000 followers on the platform, and those followers constantly complain about not seeing my content in their feeds. Aside from towing water for the government\u2019s narrative, the platform also suppresses views of posts with outside links\u2014increasingly making it impossible to use the website as a news aggregator as many once did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This is why the company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/meta-facebook-user-numbers-shrink-first-time-ever-2022-2#:~:text=1%20Facebook%20lost%20roughly%201%20million%20daily%20active,22%25%20in%20premarket%20trading%20following%20its%20Q4%20earnings.\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">bleeding<\/span><\/a> users, specifically the younger users who drive consumption and coolness in the market, and its stock price has taken a similar hit. Meanwhile, its competitors like TikTok continue to grow, in large part because they offer a more organic algorithm. This allows content creators to grow quickly if they have a quality product, and it allows users to be introduced to content that appeals to their interests and discover new creators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nobody wants a government run social media platform. But it seems that\u2019s the direction Facebook is heading with censorship, government propaganda, bad algorithms, and an inability to anticipate the needs of creators and users. All the traits of government are there: ineffective, behind the times, slow to adapt, and bad PR. It\u2019s cringe and dusty, like a very uncool, boomer hippie parent that still thinks they\u2019re edgy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No one will mourn its certain death. And let\u2019s hope other social media platforms take heed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Like this article?
