Facebook said Tuesday that it is banning all QAnon accounts from its platforms, a significant escalation over its previous actions and one of the broadest rules the social media giant has put in place in its history.
Facebook said the change is an update on the policy it created in August that initially only removed accounts related to the QAnon conspiracy theory that discussed violence, which resulted in the termination of 1,500 pages, groups and profiles.
A company spokesperson said the enforcement, which started Tuesday, will “bring to parity what we’ve been doing on other pieces of policy with regard to militarized social movements,” such as militia and terror groups that repeatedly call for violence.
“Starting today, we will remove Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts for representing QAnon. We’re starting to enforce this updated policy today and are removing content accordingly, but this work will take time and will continue in the coming days and weeks,” Facebook wrote in a press release. “Our Dangerous Organizations Operations team will continue to enforce this policy and proactively detect content for removal instead of relying on user reports.”
The spokesperson said the company believed it needed to limit the “ability of QAnon and Militarized Social Movements to operate and organize on our platform.”

You know I'm incapable of getting information from anywhere but Facebook.
This is WORSE than government censorship.
Interesting how they go after Q, but ignore the Left’s insane Fake News.
Wow! I thought Facebook was paranoid these days, Deep State shill that they are ... Now I realize they’re not just paranoid, they’re scared.
Don’t be surprised if there’s a big purge of conservative sites in the next week or two.
You do realize you’re next.... right?
Militant and violent? Oops, they’re now going to have to ban antifa, blm, and a huge percentage of democrats, hollywood and the msm.
The silencing of dissent by the evil ones continues...
Yet here you are.
They are afraid. Very afraid.
Too late I know all about adrenachrome, child trafficking, evil politicians, Hollywood creeps and Biden scandals. The big corporations are all dirty.
First they came for.... Then they came for....
Why do you choose ignorance?
Just like a father telling a daughter to stay away from that boy.
Yet, BLM/Violent rioters carry on.
“Don’t be surprised if there’s a big purge of conservative sites in the next week or two.”
Already been happening in spades. On all the social media platforms. They even got rid of the tame and mild Bill Mitchell.
Funny...they won’t ban flat earthers from facebook...
