Facebook’s ‘independent’ board stocked with Trump haters

 

What do you get if you cross a former Danish prime minister, someone who once edited the left-wing Guardian newspaper, a Yemini activist, a bunch of law professors and a Pakistani digital rights advocate? The predictable banning of Donald Trump.  

Those are just some of the members of the Facebook Oversight Board, a kind of social media Supreme Court, one the left has already packed. Yesterday, the group extended the banning of Trump from Facebook for six months, urging the company to come up with guidelines that would extend his censoring. Considering how central Facebook can be to political fundraising and outreach, not to mention news, exiling Trump is no small matter. It is meddling with democracy. 

Facebook suggests this 20-member group is “independent,” but that’s a farce. 

A cursory glance at the board members show how the fix was in against Trump from the start: 

  • Co-chair Jamal Greene, a Columbia Law professor, has tweeted “The transparency of Trump’s unfitness means, almost tautologically, that a big chunk of his supporters are conspiracy-minded.” 

  • Nighat Dad, a lawyer and “internet activist” in Pakistan, had this to say. “Mr Trump FYI Pakistan is soon going to enact Transgender Protection Act 2017. Sorry America sad to see what kind of country you have become.” 

  • Alan Rusbridger, former editor-in-chief of the Guardian who is for some reason on the board, tweeted, “This is terrifying” when Trump said he would decide when the nation reopens from COVID-19 lockdowns.
  • Nicolas Suzor, a Queensland University of Technology law professor in Australia, praised an article comparing Trump to a certain Nazi leader, writing: “I love this! ‘Teen Vogue vs Trump; American Vogue vs Hitler’ ” 

  • Afia Asantewaa Asare-Kyei, a human rights lawyer from Ghana and South Africa, who criticized Trump’s immigration policies. The group she was a part of, Open Society Foundation, once Tweeted at Trump: “We support the right to protest, enshrined in the 1st Amendment, and are shocked a sitting president does not share the Founders’ view.”

  • The closest the board seems to get to a conservative is Stanford law professor Michael McConnell, who John McCain and Mitt Romney might have made a Supreme Court justice had they been elected, and John Samples, vice president of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Neither are full throated, unapologetic, or conservative torchbearers. In fact Samples appeared on a podcast called, “Trump’s Assault On America’s Institutions.” 

  • Not involved in the Trump decision was Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan, but that’s only because she recently stepped down — to join the Biden administration as principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division.

This is just a sample, but considering that many of the other board members are “activists” or law professors, it’s doubtful any of them own a MAGA hat.

 This was Trump’s jury, not a jury of peers but a jury of jeers. 

The reason this all matters of course is that a third of Americans get their news from Facebook. The platform is so ubiquitous that for many people it’s the only way they connect with their families and friends.

Allowing a far left leaning, international commission to decide if a former President can reach those Americans is absurd and dangerous.  

The bottom line is that an overwhelmingly progressive group of experts have decided that Trump, who received 74 million votes for president, is too dangerous to be allowed on the world’s most important platform. No corporation in our country should have that much power to silence political speech, certainly not one that can’t even put together a fair or balanced oversight board.  

Every day Republicans are more ready to rein the social media giant. Facebook may object, but hey, at least those lawmakers are elected.

Yehuda Guetta, 19, who was critically wounded in the Arab shooting attack at Tapuah junction on Sunday Passes Away


 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta, a student at the Itamar Yeshiva who was critically wounded in the shooting attack at the Tapuah junction earlier this week, succumbed to his wounds at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva on Wednesday evening.

Guetta, a resident of the Kiryat Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem, is survived by his parents, four brothers and two sisters.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the death of Yehuda Guetta and said, "I send my deepest condolences to the family of the late Yehuda Guetta. The IDF, the Shin Bet and the security forces are in pursuit of the criminal terrorist. We will reach him very soon and will bring him to justice. These are difficult moments for the Guetta family and the entire people of Israel are with them in their time of grief.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz issued a statement following the death of Guetta and said, "My heart goes out tonight to the Guetta family, who lost Yehuda tonight, only 19 years old, after he was shot in the criminal attack at Tapuach Junction. The IDF and all the security forces will not rest until they catch the terrorist who murdered Yehuda. My deepest condolences, I wish you would know no more sorrow," Gantz wrote.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, called for the checkpoints in Judea and Samaria to be restored and for a new community to be established in Samaria in response to the murder.

"A heavy tragedy - not only for the Itamar Yeshiva and the settlement in Samaria - but for the entire State of Israel. Yehuda did not die of cancer. He was murdered because he was a Jew in the Land of Israel. He was killed by a vile murderer, who was instigated and funded by the terrorist Abu Mazen and his terrorist friends from Ramallah. The Israeli government must wake up," Dagan called.

"Our lives are more important than any politics. I am not ready to hear that the IDF will contain the incident. Our lives are not a line in a presentation. The Israeli government must now show leadership. I call on the Prime Minister to immediately approve the establishment of a new community near the Tapuah junction, the scene of the murder, and to double the community of Itamar, where Yehuda had studied. Terrorism must not feel that it is winning. It should be clear that the people of Israel are defeating their vile enemies," he added.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, security forces continued to search for the terrorist suspected of carrying out the shooting attack at Tapuah junction.

Palestinian Arab media reported that the perpetrator is Muntasser Shalbi, from the village of Turmus Aya in the Ramallah area, and that in the last two days the Shin Bet and the IDF have called his family and warned them not to help him.

In a heartwarming gesture, a secular couple from Tel Aviv is donating NIS 1 million to the families of the Meron victims.

Philanthropist and businessman Marius Nacht, one of Israel’s leading entrepreneurs who co-founded the CheckPoint company and is regarded as as one of the founding fathers of Israel’s cybersecurity industry, and his wife, Inbar Nacht, a lawyer, stated on Tuesday that they will be giving NIS 18,000 to each of the 45 families who lost a family member in the disaster.

The donation will be carried out via the couple’s family foundation, Nacht Philanthropic Ventures, which launched a number of initiatives during the coronavirus crisis.

The foundations’ representative, Nachman Rosenberg, told Ynet: “From the moment the news of the tragedy hit, the Nacht family felt obligated, from a moral and Zionist standoint, to find a way to assist, and strengthen the sense of mutual responsibility.”

“After it became known that many of the mourning families struggled with daily financial difficulties, which was exacerbated by the tragedy, Attorney Inbar Nacht made a decision to grant NIS 18,000 that would be immediately transferred to each family directly, without intermediaries.”

Washington DC mayor bans DANCING at weddings Because People are Not "Shomer Negia"

 

Washington DC has loosened most of its COVID-19 restrictions and doubled allowed capacity in places like schools, gyms and live entertainment events - but has drawn a line on dancing or standing at weddings. 

Under an order issued on April 26 by Mayor Muriel Bowser, wedding attendees must remain socially distanced in their seats with standing and dancing both prohibited. The order does lift attendance limits, however, with weddings allowed at 25 percent capacity or up to 250 people, whichever is fewer.  

The dancing ban was put in place as an extra layer of safety to reduce the spread of COVID-19 because when people stand and dance their behavior changes, the DC mayor's office told FOX 5 DC. For example, people are more likely to get close and touch each other without a dancing ban.

It was one of the events now allowed under the new COVID-19 guidelines in DC and was listed in the mayor's 12-page decree that also loosened restrictions in other areas, such allowing people to buy booze without food, and doubled capacity from 25 to 50 per cent in non-essential retail businesses, restaurants, bars, gyms and colleges. 

But the dance ban is turning off future newlyweds. 

Jillian Harig, a bride who is getting married in July, told FOX 5 that people look forward to having fun and dancing at a wedding as part of the celebration. 

'We're used to wearing masks at this point, we've been doing this since March. Why not allow dancing but make masks a requirement or even requiring a negative COVID test for wedding guests or provide your vaccination card,' Harig told FOX 5.

'A lot of the country is reopening at this point so to me no dancing or standing at a reception seems like it's a little bit more of stepping backwards instead of moving forward to more of that normalcy that we're all looking forward to,' she said. 

'I think the light is at the end of the tunnel. I am disappointed and shocked about this.'

The executive order is in effect until May 20, unless the mayor's office issues another update. Anyone who violates the order can be fined, and venues can have their business licenses suspended or revoked.
