The social media giant is out of control.
Facebook has unpublished the Bikers for America page, citing alleged scam concerns as an excuse to remove the popular patriotic page from their social media platform.
The group made the announcement in a Twitter post on Sunday:

Bikers for America (@Bikeramerica) October 20, 2019
They are considering legal action as well as planning a rally in favor of free speech against Big Tech monopoly platforms at war with the 1st Amendment.
We can organize a rally but it doesnt necessarily have to be all bikers! Patriots for free speech! And hit all of them FB, T and google! These tech people think that America is stupid and we will roll over and play dead! A show of solidarity bring attention!

Facebook performed similar censorship actions last month against LiveAction, a pro-life media organization, for publishing the truth about abortion:
Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Braun issued a scathing letter to Facebook on Wednesday, calling them out for their anti-Christian censorship against the pro-life activists at LiveAction.
Your company, like Twitter, Google, Pinterest and so many of the other major social media firms in Silicon Valley, has repeatedly been presented with evidence of bias against those with conservative viewpoints, especially on the issue of abortion, states the letter, which is addressed to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The Senators and the primary victim of Facebooks censorship campaign, Live Action President Lila Rose, demanded that the social media provider reverse their arbitrary distinction of fake news and issue an apology.
The platform should be a place for the free exchange of ideas, not one where only pro-abortion arguments are allowed. Live Action has asked Facebook to rectify this situation by rescinding their fact-check, sending a new notification to all users about the change, and apologizing, as well as reforming their fact-check process, Rose wrote
Previously, LiveAction received a demerit from the Big Tech monopoly platform despite the fact that they accurately reported on the Dublin Declaration, a document signed by over 1,000 OB-GYNs, doctors and other healthcare experts proclaiming that abortion is never a medically necessary procedure.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has resorted to currying favor with right-wing voices, hosting a series of dinner summits with many conservatives who have large followings.
Zuckerbergs lobbying campaign is already paying off, as Never Trump neoconservative Ben Shapiro is already publishing pro-Facebook propaganda on his Daily Wire blog:
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg gave a defiant speech on Thursday in which he highlighted the importance of free speech in response to critics demands for heightened content auditing amid the 2020 presidential election cycle.
Ive focused on building services to do two things: give people voice and bring people together, Zuckerberg said while addressing a crowd at Georgetown University. These two simple ideas voice and inclusion go hand in hand.
Weve seen this throughout history, even if it doesnt feel that way today. More people being able to share their perspectives has always been necessary to build a more inclusive society, he continued. And our mutual commitment to each other that we hold each others right to express our views and be heard above our own desire to always get the outcomes we want is how we make progress together.
He further expressed his pride in representing a company which values the American tradition of free expression, but noted that free speech is also not absolute, especially when that freedom infringes on another individuals rights. He also examined some of the difficulties in determining what should constitute acceptable speech on the social media platform.
The future depends on all of us. Whether you like Facebook or not, we need to recognize what is at stake and come together to stand for free expression at this critical moment, Zuckerberg said. I believe in giving people a voice because, at the end of the day, I believe in people.
And as long as enough of us keep fighting for this, I believe that more peoples voices will eventually help us work through these issues together and write a new chapter in our history where from all of our individual voices and perspectives, we can bring the world closer together, he added.
Despite Zuckerbergs hollow lip service, Facebooks actions against the Bikers for Trump page shows that they have not turned over a new leaf. They are simply trying to cloak their war against conservative speech, so they can effectively censor pro-Trump voices heading into next years presidential election.
Au Contraire! They are TOTALLY IN CONTROL..................
Motorcycle Ping!................
when all this crap finally hit the fan
Fuk U Zuck....I’m out
Just went to the page, its up.
I just went there and that was the first bikers page. Has hundreds of thousands of followers. I get posts from them.
I did too. I like to check things out.
It is well passed time that Mort Zuckerman gets introduced to Mr. Clayton and Mr. Sherman.
Shapiro is a smart dude but a suck up.
Facebook Hates Bikers!! maybe the local chapter of the Hells Angels should visit them
This whole story does not pass the smell test. Maybe the FB page in question or a friend of theirs put this up for mischief. It worked.
There will be no pro-Trump groups on the internet by 2020 and no one is doing anything about it.
Biker for America should have a rally at Facebook headquarters.
Thousands of motorcycles circling FaceButt’s headquarters would make the short-assed Zuckerberg crap his pants!
This is the Facebook Is Evil ping list.

Leftists are the enemy within. At some point a purge of our own needs to happen or a complete separation. We can’t coexist with the brain damaged leftists much longer the way things are going.
A divorce due to irreconcilable differences is inevitable.
This is about Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook mega-billionare young whippersnapper with weird hair & grey tee shirts.
Mort Zuckerman owns US News & World Report, and NY Daily News. He’s old & wears tasteful suits, but is practically a pauper compared to Facebook guy.
There does seem to be more of this going on, on all platforms.
Thanks for the correction. Zuckerberg it is.
