DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES
ARE DUE
REPARATIONS AND RESETTLEMENT

NB Commentary: This guy! We are being hoodwinked again with this proposition that we need "Big Brother" to censor "Fake News"!
No, we don't need discernment.
We don't need our own ability to sort through and sift through the BS.
No we are not mature enough or able to critically think for ourselves.
We need to have it done for us.

NB Commentary: By now it is clear that the so called 1st Amendment is in grave jeopardy. Not like it wasn't before but it has become blatantly apparent that it is seriously going down hill a thousand miles an hour.
Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have all thrown their hats into the ring of fire. Censorship is ironically being championed by the very Social Media outlets that have made their billions off Social Media.
