On Tuesday, the European Union (EU) announced a new online speech code to be enforced by four major tech companies, including Facebook and YouTube.
On Wednesday, Facebook deleted the account of Ingrid Carlqvist, Gatestone’s Swedish expert.
Ingrid had posted our latest video to her Facebook feed — called “Sweden’s Migrant Rape Epidemic.” As you can see, Ingrid calmly lays out the facts and statistics, all of which are meticulously researched...
But the EU is quite candid: it is applying a political lens to their censorship, and it now has teams of political informants — with the Orwellian title of “trusted reporters” — to report any cases of “xenophobia” or “hate speech” to Facebook for immediate deletion.
It’s political censorship. It’s outrageous. And it’s contrary to our western values of free speech, political freedom and the separation of mosque and state...
We raised such a ruckus about this attack that the Swedish media started reporting on Facebook’s heavy-handed censorship. It backfired, and Facebook went into damage-control mode. They put Ingrid’s account back up...
Facebook and the EU have backed down — for today. But they’re deadly serious about stopping ideas they don’t like. They’ll be back….
There is too much Facebook. I closed my account. I can text photos to relatives. No need to put my business out there for any fool to see. There is a trend among the high school kids to use other formats now. Maybe it will all play a part in driving them under.

A MASSIVE public protest needs to be held in the parking lot of Facebook headquarters.
Every week. For as far into the future as the eye can see.
For a WHOLE lot of reasons.
Facebook is . . what? I don’t know. Several years ago,
I got trapped on that FB hamster wheel. Couldn’t find a
way off until they finally did “allow” people to escape.
- BIL stated FB was a way for people to keep in touch.
I can still mail cards & letters to people, or phone them.
We like to say we are bypassing the MSM with the Internet. For how much longer? What alternative do we have to the Internet? Hussein has already put in place the mechanism for taking control and has begun chipping around the edges along with the work of his allies at google/facebook.
As I point out to everyone I know, we can send multiple-recipient emails with attachments, including video. But, that’s too private for the masses. The friends and family KNOW you (metaphorical ‘you’); they aren’t going to be impressed with your selfie corner and small collection of selfie clothing. Your vacation pic posts never disclose that you flew economy, stayed in a no-star hotel and had to trespass for the best shots.
I used to say “Everyone is living in their own B movie.” Today, they’re all living in their very own reality TV show.
It’s major Kardashian envy in process.
yep nothing to worry about let’s give liberal fascists control over everything. What could go wrong? (Idiot)
