Number of users in the US

Twitter ~ 69 million

Facebok ~ 223 million

Facebook is consistently dominated by right wing voices. The persecution complex gets tiresome.

So Facebook has more users than Twitter. Of the 223 million users, the right wing voices make more posts. Therefore, there is no unfair persecution of the right in the media.

Welp, sounds air tight to me.

And yet they cry about how dominate the "mainstream media" is even though they are THE mainstream media. And right wingers absolutely dominate the radio too. And apparently Facebook too

The mainstream media includes ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, NYT, WaPo, and the list goes on. On the other hand, there is FNC and AM radio. As for social media, the left controls FB (which includes Instagram), Twitter, Alphabet (Google, YouTube, Android App Store) Apple, and anything on AWS, ie Parler. It doesn’t matter if one “dominates” something if they can just censor, demonetize, or completely being banned. Until recently you couldn’t post that COVID might have come from the wuhan lab besucase it would be labeled as a conspiracy and threatened being deplatformed.

Number of users is irrelevant. What matters is who pulls the strings and where their loyalty lies.

Case in point, just today a whistle blower from FB went on Project Veritas and went into detail about an algorithm being beta tested to remove certain kinds of vaccine hesitancy posts. There's a whole chart and everything that shows how the software ranks certain posts and the end result of the moderation. And that is just the latest scandal.

I'm not sure who or what you follow, but it is hardly a right wing platform as you claim.

Bruh, I just came across a FB help topic that said they’re going after posts that are anti-vax, even to the point that if someone encourages “natural immunity” as a reason to avoid the vaccine, it will be flagged.

Unbelievable

Just read a news story today about natural immunity lasting upwards of a year to forever. Hmm.

Total US population: 331 million. Subtract those 14 and under (a bit more than 60 million). Left with 270 or so million.
So you're stating that more than 80% of the population uses facebook. NFW, Jose.
Perhaps there are 223 million US accounts. I have a Facebook account. I also haven't logged onto Facebook in several years.
There are NOT 223 million active Facebook users.

There's a LOT of money in Covid vaccinations. Go against it at your own peril.

I've had Covid; it's overrated for the vast majority of the population. I also give blood and they've been telling me that I have antibodies because they test all blood donations.
Yet I went out and got the J&J vaccine because my airline is paying money for one to take the shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered since I already have natural immunity.
This mass vaccination program is stupid but it's not worth fighting it.
