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
