I merely relayed a known fact about "deleted" facebook Profiles.
That YOU are taking said fact and running it out into left field is on you, not me.
Perhaps you haven't been reading the news.
Lefties have been looting, burning, rioting, & assaulting.
We've covered that. The inference that he was speaking about
white supremacists instead of counter-protestors is the fabrication
that NPR & other leftish media have been pushing. And you guys
lap it up like Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel.
(NPR did it again today in a puff piece praising Biden.)
Competitive.
I'm in the marketing end...not retail.
Wow. So, the four moderators thought this was okay, did they? Let's see if they keep their jobs, or not.
Oh do I smell a bargain?

Oh if you only knew the half of what Facebook does. The whole organization is shady.
As have the righties. Biden condemned all violence. Trump of course ignored the violence on his side because he likes and promotes violence from the right.

Max Schremser, an Austrian privacy lawyer, spent nearly five years in various civil courts to get Facebook to delete private accounts (instead of just hiding them in their database, as they used to). During these court cases, it came to light that until then, Facebook staff were not able to (or claimed to not be able to) actually delete data from their own databases.
Facebook did later on introduce a function that would allow people to "delete" their profiles - whether they are actually deleted, in light of the information mentioned above, is questionable of course.
It is also well known that Facebook has repeatedly lied to its user base and pretended that their data was more secure than it actually is, and has tried to cover up at least one major data leak.
It's worth noting that Facebook, to this day, does not comply with the EU's data protection guidelines,
I agree. Both sides have their vicious violent elements.
But the left has also been fomenting violence with their
news outlets covering events in a manner to heighten
racial tension, demonize police, excuse property destruction,
& portray looting as "reparations". And of course, Trump
plays his role inspiring violence. There's a lot of blame to
go around.
Leftish vandalism against businesses is becoming a real
problem here. No arson (yet), but other property owners I
know are seeing their slogans painted on walls & windows,
sometimes with paint stolen from the same buildings.
So far I've only had some minor break-in problems.
I'm hoping it won't escalate.
It'll be good for the fence industry though. (We're having
to install & upgrade some.)

Once I realized what their real business model is, I was convinced of that.
Collect people's personal data, compile it into a data base, then sell it. Mainly to advertising companies, but also to anybody with an interest in swaying public opinions.
I read an interesting report about Facebook conducting an experiment in "managing" an election. The staff chose a race that was close, but with a decided favorite. The supporters of the leading candidate got more messages about the futility of voting in our corrupt system. The supporters of the other candidate got more messages about how "We can do this! Power to the voter!". And the election was an upset, with the dark horse candidate edging out the favorite.
Yeah, calling Facebook shady is being charitable.

Should I take that as an admission that you cannot find any statistics that show the left is responsible for anything like:
For example, between 2000 and 2015, one single white supremacist prison gang, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, was responsible for at least 33 murders in communities across Texas.
Interesting that you ignore the blossoming left wing violence all
over the news, instead insisting that only the right is violent.
This leaves us with nothing in common to discuss.

I first heard of upon hearing the occulus rift has mandated people to require opening a Facebook account to even use the device. Needless to say its created quite an uproar.
I just stopped using my FB and am letting it rot till oblivion.

Alternatively, the radical right just drives convoys of pickup trucks through the massed supporters and pepper sprays them.

It's interesting that you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge the difference between incidents like this...
MADISON, WI — More than 75 Madison businesses were damaged or looted, and one police squad car was set on fire in Madison during a weekend filled with George Floyd protests across Wisconsin, according to police.
According to police in Madison, a night of riots on Saturday began when a peaceful protest gathered on the State Capital grounds to advocate for justice for Floyd, who died last week in police custody in Minneapolis.
Authorities said the group marched down East Washington Ave., to Williamson Street, before returning to the Capital grounds. Police said officers blocked traffic to make sure the group could express themselves safely.
According to police, at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, the demonstration ended and the crowd began dispersing, when a group of around 150 people remained in the area, and began damaging property.
According to police, the group damaged vehicles and broke windows as they moved to the State Street area. There, the group began breaking business windows and attempting entry to a jewelry store.

...and incidents like these...
On August 12, 2017, James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people who had been peacefully[12][13] protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one and injuring 19.[14] The 20-year-old Fields had driven from Ohio to attend the rally.[15] Fields previously espoused neo-Nazi and white supremacist beliefs.[8][9] He was convicted in a state court of hit and run, the first-degree murder of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, and eight counts of malicious wounding, and sentenced to life in prison with an additional 419 years in July 2019.[16] He also pled guilty to 29 of 30 federal hate crime charges to avoid the death penalty, which also resulted in another life sentence handed down in June 2019.
17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse who fatally shot two protesters in Kenosha and left the scene even as the police was arriving was arrested in the neighboring State of Illinois
August 26, 2020 by Peoples Dispatch
Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested on Wednesday August 26 and charged with murder. He traveled to Kenosha from Illinois in response to a "call to arms" from white supremacist vigilante group Kenosha Guard.
Hours after shooting and killing two anti-racist protesters and walking away despite the presence of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested in the neighboring State of Illinois on August 26, Wednesday.
Rittenhouse left the scene with his AR-15 rifle on him, and walked effortlessly past the police who were arriving on the scene.
Following his arrest in his home State, Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide. He has also been labeled a fugitive from justice.
There are three groups of people involved in these incidents...
- Left-Wing, mostly peaceful people protesting ongoing police violence against blacks.
- Right-Wing Trump Supporters who kill people.
- Criminals who loot and burn.
It's interesting that you cannot bring yourself to see the differences.

in a couple incidents that I think there are none. Big mistake.
Tis a shame that you put so much work into that long post
based upon a false premise.

One shouldn't presume that a comments addressing
one side means denying other sides. If important to
you, then just ask. Better to know than guess wrongly.
