Mindmeld, I talked politics with a friend of mine who works at Facebook, and he tells me that the political tilt there isn't as bad as the media makes it out to be.

To be sure, Sheryl Sandberg is a hardcore liberal and donates to Democratic candidates. But she is of the opinion that making Facebook into a hardcore leftist platform is bad for business.

One problem that Facebook has is trying to enforce political neutrality across their entire workforce, including their content moderators (which, as I shared in another post, is contracted out to a third party who then in turn hires cheap workerbees to carry out said "moderation"). You can imagine how the average Facebook employee, who is a millennial, defines "political neutrality."

Mindmeld, if I were your you - and 30 years younger - I would seriously consider moving out of the US. Now, here the top IQ question, to where? Japan might be a possibility ...

I don't see where you talked about a lady who was banned for using the word illegal. Which I know you can use on twitter without being banned.
