There was a New York Times article about the catastrophe that is happening in Yemen, death, starvation, displacement, etc. A horrible, horrible situation. Pictures in the piece showed children that were skin and bones that would make a normal person want to cry. Pitiful, pitiful pictures. Deaths in the 10s of thousands. People were moved. To spread information about this tragedy, Facebook members were posting these horrific pictures along with some details. So what does Facebook do? They banned these posts claiming they didn't meet 'community standards'. They should be ashamed, but the devil has no shame.

Meanwhile, children in Venezuela are starving by the boatload. What does Venezuela do? If these children are in a hospital or doctor's office and succumb to starvation, it can not be put on a death certificate. The government has made it ILLEGAL to die of starvation.
Facebook's only responsibility is to make a shitload of money for it's shareholders , period. Like all other media outlets.

Starvation and other atrocities in Venezuela and Yemen could be mitigated if only the US didn't love murderous despots.
If you remember, in October the shareholders tried to remove Zuckerphucker.
Only Bernie loves Venezuela. That is his model for the US. What a loser.
