Senatorial Candidate Austin Petersen Receives Controversial Facebook BanÂ

Former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Austin Petersen received a 30-day ban on his personal facebook account yesterday for an unspecified TOS violation. Only one post was removed and it contained a video. The video breaks down his take on Senator Clair McCaskill‘s anti-gun record, specifically her voting for the Assault Weapon Ban. Petersen is concurrently running a promotion which involves giving away an AR-15 – a weapon which would have been illegal under the ban.

We threw this together this evening. When he speaks to a crowd of potential donors tomorrow, they'll have a place to go make donations.
We'll have a better photo and introduction going soon.
All of the legal steps have been taken and he'll be on the ballot in November.

Since government is creating an environment where only some entities can afford to play, government must also protect the market from their abuse of power.

Facebook is getting the US government on its side before trying to launch its limited internet services in the US.
Facebook is talking to the White House about giving you ‘free’ Internet. Here’s why that may be controversial.

Facebook is talking to the White House about giving you ‘free’ Internet. Here’s why that may be controversial.

The company has spent the past half-year in conversations with officials.
Facebook has been in talks for months with U.S. government officials and wireless carriers with an eye toward unveiling an American version of an app that has caused controversy abroad, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The social media giant is trying to determine how to roll out its program, known as Free Basics, in the United States without triggering the regulatory scrutiny that effectively killed a version of the app in India earlier this year.

Why thank you Marshall.
Hopefully we can trade notes on social media for a while before our country falls fully into a China clone.

I really wonder why everyone is into this #netneutrality thing. All the nerds rage against the government censoring, controlling, and sifting through the internet, but then they come and beg in the name of net neutrality for a big government agency to install a complete state control system for the internet.
Calling a tax by a different name doesn't change the fact that it's a tax but in general, people are easy to fool. It's pretty clear that Gary Johnson is going after potential Clinton voters more that potential Trump voters.

What about the revenue-neutral carbon "tax"? Collect a certain amount for each mole (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(unit)) of carbon pulled out of the ground, and distribute it on a per capita basis to every legal resident of the country. Everyone, man woman and child, gets the same amount. Offsets the higher cost of everything for the average person.
That seems more in line with the libertarian movement.
