Sounds more like election interference.
When is the GOP going to find their balls and deem social media the public square complying with our first amendment rights? They have done nothing for years. If this had been nipped in the bud yars ago, when my colleagues and I were banned, suspended, shadowbanned, terminated, etc., it would never have gotten so far.
Facebook blocks 120,000 posts in fight against election misinformation
The tech giant also rejected 2.2 million ads

Twitter, Facebook should change user agreements or lose protections: Congressman
Social media giant Facebook has removed 120,000 posts so far as it fights election misinformation and attempts to prevent a recurrence of 2016, when the platform was exploited by Russian agents seeking to sway the results of the presidential race.
In a Sunday interview with the French weekly newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche, Facebook vice president Nick Clegg said the Menlo Park, California-based company had also rejected 2.2 million ads that were unable to complete the site’s authorization process.

The tech company is relying on both artificial intelligence tools and tens of thousands of employees to vet content related to the Nov. 3 election.
According to The Guardian, the former British deputy prime minister, who was hired by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in late 2018 to head the social media company’s global affairs unit, also noted that advisory warnings were added to 150 million posts containing false information.
Clegg assured Journal du Dimanche the company had improved since the 2016 presidential election.
“At the time, absolutely no one expected foreign and Russian interference. This experience was traumatic for us and for American democracy,” Clegg said, according to an English translation of his comments confirmed by The Washington Times.
Clegg pointed out that Facebook has since joined with 70 different media outlets, including five in France, in its quest to verify information on its platforms.
Facebook’s fact-checking initiative has been met with mixed assessments, according to The Verge. The program has broadened since it was introduced in 2016 and now includes review of Facebook groups.
Clegg’s conversation with Journal du Dimanche follows a series of policy changes the company made over the summer, including the implementation of an independent Oversight Board in response to increased scrutiny.
Not only has Facebook prohibited new political ads the week before the election, it will also reject ads from candidates President Donald Trump or Joe Biden if either tries to prematurely claim victory.
‘The Next Revolution’ anchor Steve Hilton weighs in on Facebook censoring health information and the reopening process in California. VideoOutside influence has already been detected in the months ahead of Election Day, and The New York Times reported in August that members of the U.S. intelligence community say Russia, China and Iran are all attempting to meddle in the race.
In 2016, the same agencies said that Russia had used digital influence operations to sway voters in favor of President Trump, who has been dogged by that assessment for the past four years. It’s a claim he has routinely denied, dismissing it as “fake news.”
At the end of September, CIA analysis determined Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely continuing to approve and direct interference operations.

Almost done too!
They may also be building the wall in other areas that have rougher terrain that weren’t originally included.

“some say even Jim Jordan” SO, YOU ARE ASSUMING or you are trying to make people believe this? TOO LATE. NO ONE DOES OR WILL.
Jim Jordan from my State, CANNOT BE COMPROMISED. I have known this guy for about 25 years. HE IS AS CONSERVATIVE AS THEY COME AND I MEAN, CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE.
YOU ARE A LIAR.

Those in politics and the media, including social media, who seek to deny the First Amendment rights of freedom of self-expression of others need to be reminded that those are the very same constitutional liberties that allow political discourse and a free media to even exist in the first place.

The mantra of “Russian interference” automatically pops out of their mouths. I wonder if they are told to mention it in each sentence by their puppet masters.
And no, most of the GOP loves to publicly grips about Big Tech control while doing absolutely nothing about it. There are a few real champions of free speech among the Republicans. Thank God Trump is a businessman instead of a politician.
