PURGED:
FACEBOOK PERMANENTLY BANS INFOWARS FOR “HATE SPEECH”
Apple

Facebook
has permanently banned Infowars for using language that is derogatory
towards Muslims, transgender people and immigrants in a shocking
intensification of Big Tech’s censorship purge.
Facebook
announced in a blog
post that
the four main Infowars pages were “unpublished for repeated
violations of Community Standards and accumulating too many strikes.”
"More content from the same Pages has been reported to us — upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies,” states the post.

Facebook has permanently BANNED Infowars.
For unspecified "hate speech". They didn't even tell us what the offending posts were.
This sets a chilling precedent for free speech.
To all other conservative news outlets - you are next.
The great censorship purge has truly begun.
The
termination of the pages follows an intensive lobbying campaign by
the likes of CNN and BuzzFeed to pressure Facebook into banning
Infowars.
A reminder that Facebook banned Infowars after lobbying by both CNN and Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL).

Last
month, Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL) also pressured
Facebook to ban Infowars during a hearing into social media
censorship on Capitol Hill.
Wikileaks
responded to the news with a warning that the ban represents a
“global anti-trust problem.”
“Infowars
says it has been banned by Facebook for unspecified ‘hate speech’.
Regardless of the facts in this case, the ability of Facebook to
censor rival publishers is a global anti-trust problem, which along
with San Francisco cultural imperialism, reduces political
diversity,” said the whistleblower organization in a tweet

If
free speech does not include controversial/unpopular/offensive
speech, it doesn’t exist.
A
society in which free speech doesn’t exist is doomed to collapse
into authoritarianism.
The
argument that Facebook and other social media giants are “private
companies” and can do what they like is also a complete misnomer.
Big
Tech have formed a monopoly by swallowing up content and they are now
working hand in hand with the establishment media and leftist
politicians to silence independent voices.
Whether
you love or loathe Infowars, this now confirms that Big Tech is
working with legacy media and lawmakers to silence independent media.
In
places like Russia, the government shuts down the press, in America,
CNN, Apple and Facebook fulfil that role.
Please
continue to pressure lawmakers into enacting real solutions to secure
digital rights and free speech online by circulating our master guide
to online censorship and signing our petition to uphold free speech.
Now that Facebook has banned Infowars, it will be very interesting to see which conservative news outlets and commentators speak out and which ones remain complicit in silence.
Whatever you think of Infowars, they're coming for you next.

The US Constitution
explicitly forbids government censorship. So the Silicon Valley big
tech companies named themselves the gatekeepers of goodthink,
de-platforming anyone who runs afoul of their arbitrary ‘community
standards.’
Alex Jones, the host of
InfoWars, has often been derided by establishment media as a
conspiracy theorist. Yet on Monday, Apple, Spotify, YouTube and
Facebook proved right the motto of his show – “There’s a war on
for your mind!” – by blocking or deleting InfoWars accounts from
their platforms, saying he allegedly engaged in “hate speech” and
violated their “community standards.”
Simply put, these
corporations appointed themselves arbiters of acceptable political
thought, and censored Jones for failing to comply with arbitrary
political standards set in Silicon Valley boardrooms, not at the
ballot box.
Whether you like @RealAlexJones and Infowars or not, he is undeniably the victim today of collusion by the big tech giants. What price free speech? infowars.com/purged-faceboo…
