    Anything anyone else does is a call for war among conservatives, but Facebook banning Donald Duck is as clear a shot across the bow as conservatives will ever get. The problem is, websites normally troll for customers, with most being designed specifically to both attract trolls, and to make it easy for moderators to keep the flames down to a manageable level, that doesn't chase off the same customers they attract. Conservatives are among the best trolls online, and Facebook is merely expressing the views of the majority, while rejecting the largest and most powerful minority in the country.

    The harder such websites attempt to censor the web, the more vulnerable they become to being overrun by bots and, eventually, replaced altogether. Between Fox News being legally entertainment, and internet websites being free to censor the web however they prefer, there's a lot of money to be made deciding who gets to play God.
