Why are Right Wingers Angry at Zuckerberg/Facebook ?

the Russians used facebook to spread pro trump and anti clinton shit during the campaign.

and Ted Cruz claiming using Romney and Glen Beck as examples of facebook not showing conservative news during 2016. in 2016 Romney and Beck were critical of Trump so it wasn't pro right wing shit that was not being shown.

they always want to make themselves out to be the victim. just like James Comey who hurt Clinton the most during the election but they are trying to make him out to be some pro clinton guy trying to hurt trump.

That's the opposite of what the Republicans want. They would love to keep using the platform in whatever devious ways they can in their quest to steal elections, and now there will be a few extra hurdles in their path of destruction. It makes them angry.
