A Congressional candidate who is challenging Rep. Justin Amash, a recently-turned Michigan Independent, has been banned from Instagram.
Tom Norton received the following message from the Facebook-owned platform:

First of many, I’m sure.
Why did you cut it off? The blog doesn’t own what Twitter said.

It did not say what specific violation occurred.
Silicon Valley Big Tech firms, in pursuit of their totalitarian censorship regime, is coordinating elections on behalf of globalist candidates in federal election to save their favorite open-border, cheap labor, Trump hating Congresscritter, Justin Amash, Norton told The Rundown News.
This is a serious offense that goes to the core of how our elections are decided, he continued. Do we allow a few socialist-leaning billionaires in California to buy every election across America with their digital tools? Or do we hold them to account for their constant effort to purchase these election? The FEC needs to investigate at once. Whoever at Facebook and Instagram is allowing this censorship to move forward needs to be prosecuted with felony coordination.
Instagram has banned many conservatives including Laura Loomer who is suing its parent company Facebook for $3 billion. Norton appears to be the first candidate running for office who has been banned. Even worse, he is running for federal office. Instagram is now directly meddling in statewide elections, without apparent recourse.
The tech giants are a blight and deserve to be broken up.
Gabbard topics have clearly been censored on Twitter as well. Yeah right that “Assad” (Harris’ lame retort) is trending but Gabbard’s smackdown of Harris ain’t.
IMHO the real reason is the money that goes to big corporations via transfer payments to. IOW, EBT money gets spent at Walmart, Obamaphone money goes to Verizon, gov't employee paychecks go to unions who fund big gov't candidates, etc.
Id like to see a massive migration to MeWe.. it has most of the tools of Facebook and none of the jackbooted censorship.
This is much bigger than Russian troll farms, which had zero effect. This has real effect.
The left make no sense. They say Trump isnt allowed to block followers on Twitter yet they ban conservatives from their social media platforms. Its insanity.
Why isn’t a case winding its way up the ladder to the supremes?
I can’t imagine they wouldn’t heart it.
Break em up!
“They say Trump isnt allowed to block followers on Twitter yet they ban conservatives from their social media platforms.”
That’s the Left in a nutshell.
They’re Stalinists posing as kind and generous people.
Bump
The headline is way, way outta line. He wasn’t banned from ‘social media.’ He was banned from Instagram.
Your correct comment in #1 should have been the headline.
Instagram is social media. It is owned by facebook and has greater visibility.
Going into the last of the campaign Trump will be muzzled completely on Twitter. He is already shadow banned to various degrees. Big Social Media has been unchallenged in their war on conservatives. Social Media has gotten bolder each day with their censorship and the Trump administration has done nothing. With everything to lose (a Trump victory) why on earth wouldnt the anti Americans in charge block all of us?
Only the beginning as the social media gears up to throw the election to dems.
This is just the start...
Just set it up. Well see how it works!
I had no idea F**kbook owned Instagram. Just another way where Dork Zuckerturd can get your personal information. So glad I never got involved in that crap. I do have a Fcaebook account but everything in it is fake. I even put down I live in the Republic of Congo
Surprised the USSC has not taken the case.
