An online therapy company known as Talkspace has decided to pull out of a partnership with Facebook due to the fact that the Mark Zuckerberg platform allows President Trump to have an uncensored presence there.
After Trump tweeted the other day that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” referring to the waves of violent civil unrest that are sweeping the country, Talkspace CEO Oren Frank got triggered and publicly announced on Twitter that his company would no longer be pursuing a relationship with Facebook.
“We at @Talkspace discontinued our partnership discussions with @Facebook today,” Frank virtue signaled. “We will not support a platform that incites violence, racism, and lies. #BlackLivesMatter,” he added.
Why Frank targeted Facebook specifically is that, thus far, nothing President Trump has said or done has been censored there. Meanwhile, Twitter has “fact-checked” numerous tweets by Trump in recent days.
Prior to this, Talkspace had forged a deal with Facebook to be content partners. With about a million views per month, Talkspace would have generated content for Facebook as part of a six-figure deal, and Facebook would have been able to use Talkspace to provide free therapy to certain audiences.
But the whole thing fell apart after Frank got wind of the fact that Facebook was allowing President Trump to speak on the platform uncensored. In Frank’s view, Trump should not be allowed there without some kind of Silicon Valley censorship filter in place.
“It’s a huge potential opportunity and a relationship with the largest media company in the world,” Frank told CNBC. “I don’t think they are evil people, but do think they turned out to be an evil company.”
Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks about how Big Tech is at war with the rest of humanity, even if President Trump is still allowed to speak on Facebook:
According to earlier reports, Talkspace was founded back in 2012 by Orem Frank and his brother Roni, who both moved to the United States from Israel to launch the platform. Prior to this, Roni worked as a software developer.
Why this matters is that these two individuals are from somewhere else where free speech apparently does not exist, or at the very least is not protected under the First Amendment. And yet these two are now trying to scrap free speech in a foreign land simply because they disapprove of the president.
Keep in mind that all Trump did was call out the rioters and looters who have been destroying businesses and hurting innocent people. These are criminals who Trump insinuated need to be held accountable for the crimes they are committing, which is really nothing controversial.
But somehow Talkspace is in support of criminal activity and wants to see it increase by keeping Trump silent. It also wants to see our Commander-in-Chief disrespected by Mark Zuckerberg as a condition of doing business with the social media platform, which suggests that Talkspace is even more evil than Facebook.
A number of Facebook employees were also reportedly upset about the president’s comments, prompting them to stage a “virtual walkout” in protest. While Twitter put a warning statement on this same statement, Facebook let it be posted untouched.
“We encourage employees to speak openly when they disagree with leadership,” Facebook said in a statement. “As we face additional difficult decisions around content ahead, we’ll continue seeking their honest feedback.”
