Facebook removes ‘Convoy to DC 2022’ group

Facebook shut down a group early Wednesday that truckers were using to coordinate a convoy from California to Washington, D.C.

Convoy to D.C. 2022, which reportedly had over 130,000 members and was being used to plan a protest of vaccine mandates in parts of the United States, was inspired by a protest by Canadian truckers over COVID-19 rules.

“I feel like the presence of that amount of people that show they’re unhappy with what’s going on is a good way to get their attention,” Mike Landis, a trucker involved with the convoy, told Fox News. “I feel like this whole Facebook censorship thing we have going on right here is obviously starting to get someone’s attention.”

Well their stock is down 23% tonight due to lost eyeballs. Perhaps we are seeing “the turn”.

They make money from advertisements. The fewer eyeballs, the lower the earnings.

They are trying to blame Apple’s IOS operating system allowing users to block tracking. I think it is fewer eyeballs.

What was FB’s “official” reason for removing.

A convoy to Zuckerbergs house would be good. Let him breathe diesel fumes.

I'm not sure. They had a 'go fund me' that raised about $10 million before it was paused about two hours ago.

Looks like Facebook is, as Jen Psaki wants, "doing more".

Why are people so stupid and continue to use Facebook or YouTube for anything?

GOP candidates will need alternative social media solutions for 2022 and 2024. I suspect that even RINOs will be blocked.

When will people finally realize, free speech is a two-way street. If a totalitarian corporation bans on an ideological basis, delete your account with them and simply move to a corporation who accommodates free speech. If a corporation doesn’t exist that accommodates free speech, become a member of one that protects your own ideology specifically. It’s important to share your ideas and for others to share their ideas with you. It also very important to share your ideas with the younger generations, so that they’re not lost.

Marxists like Facebook and Twitter, etc, would like nothing more than for you to disappear off their platforms. Do it - disappear from their platforms. BUT, double down on voicing your ideas of freedom subjugated to morality on several other platforms. Don’t support your enemy and fully support their enemies.

While I applaud the intent of the convoy approach I think a much more effective strategy would be for every trucker in the US claim they’ve tested positive for the Fauci Flu. Gotta quarantine for 5 days, that’s the rules. Not a wheel turns for better part of a week. Much more effective and hey, we’re just following the government’s rules. Rinse and repeat til they get the message.

I agree with you 100%.

We got covid and are need to stay home four two weeks since my wife and kids will get it also.

If even 40% do that, there will be hell to pay.

Especially in the big cities.
