That's not at all the same thing as what's happening here by a long shot though. Not even in the same arena. Can you truly not see that? Also, not countless. i can count that quite easily. I want droves of links showing this horrid double standard I keep hearing about.

also, Facebook started this verification stuff post 2016 because of 2016 so you should be thrilled.
