The hilarious duo of Diamond and Silk is a danger to society.
That’s according to Facebook.
The pro-Trump pair posted on the embattled social media platform on Friday night, saying after months of correspondence, they were deemed to be “unsafe to the community.”
“Diamond And Silk have been corresponding since September 7, 2017, with Facebook (owned by Mark Zuckerberg), about their bias censorship and discrimination against D&S brand page,” they wrote.
“Finally after several emails, chats, phone calls, appeals, beating around the bush, lies, and giving us the run around, 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,” echoing the complaints of many conservative and pro-Trump pages.
Here is the reply from Facebook. Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 3:40 PM: “The Policy team has came to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community.”
The pair say it took “6 Months, 29 days, 5 hrs, 40 minutes and 43 seconds” to get a response, which they add the network said is “final and it is not appeal-able in any way.”
They posed several questions to Facebook and Zuckerberg, including, “What is unsafe about two Blk-women supporting the President Donald J. Trump?”
“This is deliberate bias, censorship and discrimination. These tactics are unacceptable and we want answers!” they wrote.
Diamond and Silk shot to fame after the Drudge Report linked to several of their videos and they made appearances with then-candidate Trump on the campaign trail.
One of their big moments came when they tore into Republican debate moderator Megyn Kelly in 2015.

Facebook will never answer their request to point out the specific content of theirs that is “unsafe to the community,” because such content does not exist.
They should show up at the Congressional hearings Zuckerberg is going to have to testify at ... and have some Congressman ask what their ‘community standards” are and how the content of D&D is harmful to that? I’d like to see that little worm squirm.
Social media is a big threat to our freedom. They must be stopped.
I’m not sure what was banned; I went into Facebook and found the Diamond & Silk store; it still seems to be up.
Why does Facebook hate blacks?
Why does Facebook hate women?
Why does Facebook hate Black Women?
Wondering how long before the social media giants are declared monopolies and busted up.
people who have liked and/or followed our page no longer receives notification
It's not that they were banned.
It’s time for FB to treated like a public accommodation. Bake the cake!!!
I wonder if a lawyer could get Facebook to explain exactly how they are “unsafe”, what “community” is threatened, and how stopping notifications to people that “like” them removes the threat to safety.
I believe I can monetize this phenomena. I just bought the domain name .. coming soon to a CRT near you! :)
Can you imagine if AT&T had censored our calls and only let telephone calls approved by them through?
Good analogy....especially since MZ has said FB is ‘like a utility company’.
When I think back to try to figure out what happened when Facebook made its debut, and why neither I, nor my family registered there, I am not what you may call a religious person, but I feel the voice of God said: “ Don’t touch this with a twenty foot pole,” we stayed away. Thank you, God.
However, it is more likely that I thought that kid was a precocious brat. And now, he wants to run for president.
I wish every user would drop him like a sweaty shirt.
It’s called shadow banning.
You think you’re rolling along, pinging all of your followers, but FB or Twitter has actually blocked your posts from going out.
A coworker of mine did a test. Set up two twitter accounts and would post on each, to each and to others. Her more pro-Trump account wasn’t pinging/posting. Her more generic account was cruising along just fine.

I never signed up for FB, either. I think I am the last hold out, among friends and family. Glad to see I am in good company, Maris :-)
So happy you agree, Jane.
Why do people use that?
