"Infowars.com reporter Darrin McBreen was instructed by the Facebook Team to not voice his political opinion on the popular social networking site.

 'Be careful making about making political statements on facebook, McBreen was told in an email, facebook is about building relationships not a platform for your political viewpoint. Don't antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of what you are preaching.'
 Facebook sent the message in relation to a comments posted about 'Is living off the Grid now a crime?', an article about nuisance abatement teams intimidating people who have decided to disconnect from the power grid in California.
 The message provides further evidence that Facebook is not only monitoring discussions, but also feels compelled to warn users about the supposed inappropriateness of their political viewpoints, especially if they deviate from prepackaged left-vs-right political viewpoints propagated by the establishment.
 The misspelling contained in the comment indicates it is probably not a boiler-plated message but was written specifically in response to the discussion.
 The Facebook is message received by McBreen is intimidation, pure and simple. Thousands of Facebook users utilize the site to push political agendas.
 For instance, Obama has a Facebook page and his photo is emblazoned with 2012, indicating that he will seek to be reelected to political office. Nancy Pelosi's page identifies her as a Government Official and the top post on her page is about Obama's politicized jobs program."


 Facebook obviously is a political platform. It is only an issue when Infowars.com and other politically incorrect individuals and groups post political content.
