Facebook blocks Michael Savage for posting news on Islamic crime
WND ^ | 08/01/16

Posted on 08/02/2016 6:03:36 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Facebook has temporarily blocked talk-radio host Michael Savage from posting stories to his page after he put up a link to a story about a Muslim migrant killing a pregnant woman in Germany.

A message from the social media giant on Savage’s page said: “You recently posted something that violates Facebook policies, so you’re temporarily blocked from using this feature.”

The message then refers the user to Facebook’s “Community Standards” and states the block will be active for 21 hours.

Facebook’s “Community Standards” page lists “hate speech” as one of its prohibitions, along with “violence and graphic content,” and nudity.

The article linked by Savage was about a pregnant woman in Reutlingen, Germany, who was hacked to death with a meat cleaver by a 21-year-old Syrian refugee.

On his show Monday, Savage chastised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, saying he “doesn’t care about my audience.”

“He doesn’t care about the audience of conservatives. He’d rather you all drop dead and go home,” Savage said

Facebook is pathetic. I just had ‘a friend’ tell me that only 25 people in America have died of Islamic terrorism. The stupidest people are on that website. And they’re all British, lol!

Facebook is not and never has been your friend. Of course they who own and operate the company have every right to control the content.

they can permanently block me if they want to. I do not post on there. I do read what others have posted. But if I get blocked, banned, or deleted, who cares. The sun will still rise in the east Wednesday morning.

Facebook and globalist Suckerburger is interfering in our free elections. Facebook is defacto a national security issue by their own totalitarian demeanor and their use of technology as a means of interference in elections of the US, Russia, pro-Islamic interference of the “elections” in Turkey, and interference in the BREXIT vote in favor of the EU and the globalist cheap labor agenda.

Facebook-Fakebook not only censors patriots, they are collecting a huge database of anyone they snoop out as a patriot so this enemies list can later be used by authoritarian regimes such as Hillary Clinton.

I have an idea. I think everyone on Facebook should post the story. I am going to do it right (after I read it.) never post something that you do the read.

Facebook’s monopoly gives all sorts of censorship power with teeth.

When does FaceBook's actions in stifling public discourse cross the line and become treason by giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

FaceBook and Twitter have become Public Utilities for speech. Perhaps they should be regulated to a certain degree?

Close your accounts. You’re just putting all that info out there about you, your family and friends that could be used to make the rest of your life unhappy.

I think its destroying itself. It seems to me that since its become unsafe to post one’s true opinion there, most people just don’t post at all, i.e. vote with their feet.

Do not need to Destroy Facebook.

Do destroy Facebook’s software monopoly.

Enable alternatives eg FB2, FB3 etc.
