Facebook has restricted “distribution” of Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson’s page due to the “repeated sharing of false news.”

The censorship comes just over a month before the presidential election.

“Your Page has reduced distribution and other restrictions because of repeated sharing of false news. People will also be able to see if a Page has a history of sharing false news,” read Facebook’s notice.

Facebook did not specify which post or posts had led to the decision.

If Facebook is calling him a liar, that would be actionable in court as defamation.

Who relies on Facebook for news? No one I know. My guess is this will slow Tucker’s roll not at all.

If Obama and Holder were around the entire DOJ, FCC and FEC would be brought down like Thor’s hammer on Facebook. But Trump has ball-less Bagpipe Barr who won’t do a godamned thing.

No one can silence Tucker Carlson. He is by far the most powerful and influential TV news personality in the country. And he doesn't need Facebook to reach his audience. I am not even on Facebook. These tech giants overestimate their importance.

What did Obama/Holder do the entire 8 years they were in power?
Oh wait, Eric Schmidt, then CEO of Google, visited the White House an estimated over 100 times and had Obama in his pocket.

Maybe his will be the voice to bring it down -- no more immunity and sue FB's assets off!

It won’t have the slightest effect on Tucker, save to drive his ratings even higher. Full steam ahead.

I believe the DOJ and Republicans in congress are working on removing section 230 protections for big tech. That will leave them liable to massive liability claims.

Have I woken up in Oceana and is fakebook the implementer of newspeak?

They wiretapped the entire AP, a FoxNews reporter and his parents.
