Diamond and Silk 'shadowbanned' by Facebook just in time for midterms
American Thinker ^ | 9 Apr, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Diamond & Silk, two tremendously funny comics with a huge following who support President Trump, have been "shadowbanned" by Facebook, meaning, their posts are not being fed into the feeds of their subscribers, in what's known as "deplatforming." Facebook did it by labeling the women "dangerous to the community" and told them there was no appeal.

Diamond & Silk, whose real names are Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, explained to Fox News that they think it was a bid to goose the midterms for Democrats and outlined what they did:

"Facebook gave us another bogus reason why Millions of people who have liked and/or followed our page no longer receives notification and why our page, post and video reach was reduced by a very large percentage," they wrote. "Here is the reply from Facebook ... 'The Policy team has came to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community.'"

The only thing they are dangerous to is left-wingery itself, given their persuasive arguments and witty presentations. Obviously, the left has reason to hate and fear them. Now Facebook, which is full of leftists, has decided to shut them up.

If Zuckerberg wasn’t asked about this today, then our Congress is truly useless.

Zuckerberg should be questioned about interference in elections by the FBI.

Thank you! I’ve been screaming this from the rooftops.

EVERYONE should call EVERY R Senator on this committee and DEMAND that Zuck be grilled on this DISCRIMINATORY action.

The left can’t handle the truth...that these ladies are having a positive outreach with the black community, women, etc.

The left owns social media, the left censures.

Righties need to create their own social medium.

Zuckerberg should be challenged to explain. And then to ask othe specific ones like this.

Why? Fecebook is already doing all they can to interfere in favor of the Democrats, just like the FBI.

"...Righties need to create their own social medium..."


A good start is Gab at www.gab.ai which is very similar to Twitter except that it allows and encourages actual free speech.

The leftists at the FBI should be investigated by conservatives at the FBI. Leftism violates the Bill of Rights.

After 8 years of the Kenyanesian Usurpation I seriously doubt there are any conservatives in the FBI.

How could we FREEPERS take up their cause and help them get established on a site that would be 'canceling proof' whether D-___ or DISCORD or whatever like Dustin Nemos moved to???

imho, we NEED THEM for mid terms as well as their humor for 'sanity' etc.

Is any FREEPER in personal contact with them? What would THEY like us to do?

I think they are a trip. We really enjoy them--though we don't always make the time to listen to them.

Those ladies kept me sane during leadup to 2016 elections and primaries. Was overseas at the time. I don’t have facebook but subscribe to them on youtube.

Facebook silences black speech.

Is that not unlawful? It should be!

What would all those people - who sacrificed so much for equal rights - have to say about this? That is, if they could post on FB to tell us...

Leave it to rich white guys like Zuckerberg to keep black folks down. So 20th Century of them at that.

Remember this for a long time. This is the face of the racist left. Adolf, Joe, and Mao must be proud.
