The Facebook event page for an upcoming protest against extending Michigan’s state of emergency was deleted by Facebook’s staff for defying the government’s guidance on social distancing.
Protesters plan to gather Thursday morning, April 30, outside the Michigan State Capitol building and call on legislators not to extend the state of emergency, which gives Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her administration additional executive authority to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
A Facebook event titled “Rally on the State Capitol Lawn" was created earlier this month to organize the April 30 protest, which is slated for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Lansing.
The protest’s event page was taken down by Facebook’s staff, according to a company spokesperson who said events that defy government’s guidance on social distancing aren’t allowed on Facebook.
Facebook will remove content that advocates for in-person gatherings that defy health guidance, as well as claims that discourage treatment or taking appropriate precautions, according to a spokesperson.

Whittler -> Democrat -> fascist dictator -> Facebook
Rest assured that any protest against a GOP governor or Trump would not only NOT be removed but promoted.
Historic echo how German companies like Krupp and Bayer were only too willing to assist the Nazis.
Nice!
Fascists!
More impact, change the capitalization

OK People.
Time to string up a wire, build a basic transmitter, and broadcast the truth (even if from a bunker).
Weirdly, FascistBuch isn't allowed on my computer, due to a 127.0.0.1 loopback address in my local hosts file...
wow
Last Revolution was against George III.
The next will be against our new de facto ruler, Winnie Xi Pooh.
Anyone who has any dealings with, presence on or otherwise, deserves whatever mistreatment they get.
It’s not facebook, it’s fakebook but hey, they are just a platform, right?
.
My feelings exactly. It will be an interesting experiment to see if some left this group tried to play in a protest against a Republican governor in states that are beginning to open and demanding they have longer shut downs were to be removed. I am 99% Sure those posts would remain.
The fascists in government are using facebook to enforce their fascistic laws and facebook is more than happy to take part.
So they allowed muslims to use FB during Arab Spring but restrict its use in “the land of free”. No place for that in our nation.
But wait — a few years back, the Left kept screeching that “Protest is Patriotic”. What happened?!?!
