somehow its anti-semitic to oppose facebook and the following article will attempt to show you how that came to be;
After the New York Times published a bombshell report detailing
Facebook's efforts to smear its critics by deploying anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories that are commonly spread right-wing extremists,
Color of Change—the online racial justice organization that Facebook
attempted to discredit as a "puppet" of billionaire philanthropist George Soros—issued a scathing statement
on Thursday denouncing the tech giant for "using anti-Semitism as a
crowbar to kneecap a black-led organization working to hold them
accountable."
"By suggesting to reporters that Color Of
Change is acting as the puppet of Mr. Soros merely because he is one of
our many funders, they have given oxygen to the worst anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories of the white nationalist Trump base."
—Rashad Robinson, Color of Change"Facebook
is violating its most fundamental mission of building human connection,
as well as the trust placed in it by billions of people, by advancing
extremist far-right conspiracy theories that are aimed at denigrating
Jews and belittling people of color," said Color of Change president
Rashad Robinson. "It is reprehensible, it is dangerous, and they should
be ashamed."
While Robinson notes that Color of Change has worked with Facebook on
a variety of civil rights issues in the past, the group has also been
sharply critical of the social media behemoth, accusing
it of placing "profit over the safety and privacy of millions of
Americans, especially black people, Muslims, and other vulnerable
groups."......https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/11/15/targeted-smears-color-change-rips-facebook-boosting-anti-semitic-conspiracy-theories
