Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell is calling for Facebook to de-platform Antifa on the heels of conservative writer Andy Ngo being attacked by members of the group in Portland, Ore. on Saturday.
"The Department of Homeland Security has formally classified their activities as domestic terrorist violence. It is an amazing thing, to me, that Facebook thinks it is perfectly fine to have domestic terrorists on their site and not remove them,” Bozell told Fox News. “Antifa needs to be de-platformed. This is a mistake and I hope Facebook rethinks it." ...
Antifa has a Facebook group with over 4,500 members. The group was created in 2008 and bills itself as “an international community of anti-fascists for easily communicating and sharing info.” Another Facebook page, Antifa United, is followed by over 18,000 people. ...
"Antifa sits there in all of its domestic terrorism glory on Facebook, which has been coming out with all these commitments to have a clean, honest, honorable site and it certainly doesn’t,” Bozell said. “At the same time it is punishing conservatives for nothing."

If Facebook won’t, then all of their special privileges should be revoked and they be treated henceforth as a publisher.
why would you deplatform a group like this. Its a certain way to gain intel on their behaviors and use it against them in court.
Ping.
Not just Facebook, but Google, YouTube, Twitter, Paypal, and all the rest.
Perhaps it is time to rename this state Ore-GONE?
They shouldn’t even have to be told, but they do.
They’re too busy deleting conservative pages, don’t have time for that.
Let’s just call it like it is; Facebook WANTS this kind of violence.
C’mon.
FB actively on the side of terrorism - Islamic, Fascist, etc.
Just saw a discussion on another forum that FB is not allowing patriotic pictures.
Just how dumb are the Left? A bunch of thugs call themselves “anti fascist” so their actions are pure? If the Nazis call themselves “anti poverty” would they have overlooked their crimes against humanity too?
p
Klantifa.
FascistBook only de-platforms conservatives and Christians.
Antifa is democrat funded and democrat supported, ergo, untouchable.
Instead we should be demanding for RE-platforming for all conservatives that have been purged without reason, except, of course, for having the "wrong" beliefs.
De-platform them? No, arrest and put them on trial for a violent attack.
Trump needs to issue an executive order.
No Executive branch Departments or personnel may use any social media for official business if that company discriminates against users for political opinions or hosts designated terror groups like antifa. No DOD facebook page, no NASA, no FAA, no HOA, no HUD, no USDA, no Treasury, no CIA page, no FBI page, no DOJ page. Nothing!
Shut the bastards down! Go to Gab or somewhere else.
Andy Ngo’s lawyer should sue every top officer in FB in civil courts for creating an environment which endangered Andy for exercising his 1st Amendment rights.
The way you are framing it is wrong.
We can push for Facebook to de-platform them. That is free speech. FB is free to ignore, too.
We ARE for laws for publishers and laws for those that don’t act as publishers.
Those laws are different for each.
Facebook acts like a publisher, so if they want to be pro-liberal and anti-conservative then they should have their special privileges revoked and they then go by laws pertaining to publishers.
