BREAKING: Facebook Removing Calls for Peaceful Protests in DC, Photos and Videos from Protestors
National File ^ | 01/06/2021 | Jack Hadfield

Facebook is removing calls for peaceful protests in Washington DC, and photos and videos from protestors, which are tantamount to “promotion of criminal activity.”

Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters gathered in the nation’s capital, to protest the Electoral College certification in Congress, where many states allegedly won by Joe Biden suffered from severe election integrity issues, and massive voter fraud.

Thousands of patriots stormed the Capitol Building, forcing the joint session of Congress to be suspended. One unarmed Trump supporter, purportedly a young woman, was shot and killed by DC Police just outside the Senate chambers. An eyewitness told National File that she was shot by “a man in a suit,” and that police prevented him from giving her medical attention.

As a result of the clashes between Trump supporters and the authorities, Big Tech giants, including Facebook, are clamping down reporting from the capital. In a press release, Facebook said they will now be removing from its platform:

Facebook said that posting photos or videos from the protests posted by attendees is tantamount to the “promotion of criminal activity,” which violates their policies. They are also adding additional checks to their platform, including:

The announcement from Facebook follows Twitter locking President Trump out of his account for 12 hours for “repeated and severe violations of [their] Civic Integrity Policy,” following the “unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C.” Twitter announced this on their official Twitter Safety account and threatened permanent suspension of if there are more “violations” from President Trump’s account.”

Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.

— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 7, 2021

Both Twitter and Facebook removed a video statement from President Trump calling on supporters to return home peacefully, claiming it would only inflame more violence.

Because the news media want to blame him. Harder to do that with the video trending

Last call for patriots to abandon FB and head to non-censorious platforms. Parler, MeWe, Rumble, Bitchute to name a few.

The narrative must be upheld. I wonder if this is what Pravda looked like starting out...

Big tech, social media and MSM will shut him out, unless it’s negative.

Wow, the democrats are in full tyrannical control mode.

If ever there was any doubt about the media being the propaganda arm of the democrat party, their actions today should have dispelled it.
