FULL TITLE: Outrageous: Facebook targets, deletes numerous political pages and accounts, cites rules regarding spam
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that Facebook, the social media giant once called the “world’s most dangerous censor,” unpublished over 800 accounts and pages, accusing those pages and accounts of flooding users with politically-oriented content the company says violates its policies on spam.
According to the Post:
The accounts and pages, with names such as Reasonable People Unite and Reverb Press, were probably domestic actors using clickbait headlines and other spammy tactics to drive users to websites where they could target them with ads, the company said. Some had hundreds of thousands of followers and expressed a range of political viewpoints, including a page that billed itself as “the first publication to endorse President Donald J. Trump.” They did not appear to have ties to Russia, company officials said.
Facebook said it was not removing the publishers and accounts because of the type of content they posted but because of the behaviors they engaged in, including spamming Facebook groups with identical pieces of content, unauthorized coordination and using fake profiles.
“Today, we’re removing 559 Pages and 251 accounts that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior,” the company said in a blog post. “People will only share on Facebook if they feel safe and trust the connections they make here.”
Among the conservative pages that were removed: Clash Daily, with some two million followers, Silence Is Consent and Top Stories USA. One network of conservative sites said that over a dozen of its members’ sites lost their Facebook pages.

This week with no explanation, I was banned for life.

Fakebook is for women
Just ignore it if you’re male
No thanks, Facebook.
I don’t need to know what cousin Nelly had for breakfast yesterday.
Talk about collusion.
From the article: Interesting enough, the Daily Caller reported that one Facebook engineer resigned on Wednesday, decrying “the company culture as one that operates on groupthink, uses appeasement as a PR strategy, and attacks conservative views.” Incidents like this, by the way, are the reason that yours truly wrote Banned: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad with American-Israeli Adina Kutnicki in 2016."
All of Project Veritas’ twitter posts have been censored in my newsfeed with a message saying I can’t see it due to potentially sensitive subject matter. My settings are set to allow all sensitive material.
ProjectvVeritas is currently releasing embarassing undercover videos of Democrat candidates and their staffs, which is why they are censoring their posts on twitter. ^^^^^
indiegogo is now removing and refunding “campaigns that violate community standards”.
Alt-Hero Q comic start up, written by Chuck Dixon a legendary comics guy, was removed and about $150,000 in backing is to be refunded according to an email I received.
I think this is co-ordinated.
(note: This a Vox Day project, along with Alt-Hero comics, whose site is not welcome here.)
The email:
“Your transaction has been refunded
Your transaction to ALT-HERO:Q on Indiegogo has been refunded!
Indiegogo’s Trust and Safety Team determined this campaign didn’t comply with our Terms of Use. You’ll no longer receive any perks associated with this transaction. Please visit our help center for further information on how Indiegogo protects users.”
Check it out at indiegogo if you wish. Sample drawings still up.

Jim is there any reason why you can’t invite Project Veritas to post on FR? They would then have to find a way to direct folks to the link. Might be one way to get more members.
