Two Facebook employees also claimed that the company has been coordinating with Twitter and other social media platforms.
Facebook is reportedly preparing to follow in the footsteps of Twitter and getting ready to purge QAnon content from its platform.
Followers of QAnon generally support President Trump and believe that an anonymous user account named Q shares information online about the plans of a high-level government insider or group of insiders who are working to take down the Deep State (a group inside the government that operates independently of elected officials to promote its own interests).
The New York Times reports that two Facebook employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Facebook will be taking similar steps to those taken by Twitter in order to limit the reach of QAnon content and the that it will be announcing its plans next month.
The employees added that Facebook has been coordinating with Twitter and other social media companies when formulating its plans to purge QAnon content.
If Facebook and the other social media companies its purportedly coordinating with do blacklist QAnon, it would highlight the immense power these platforms have over public discourse with billions of users suddenly being blocked from discussing a topic.
In a previous demonstration of this power, Facebook and YouTube banned all mentions of the impeachment whistleblowers name which was newsworthy at the time due to the role of the individual in kickstarting the impeachment probe against President Trump.
The Facebook employees didnt specify how Facebook will suppress QAnon content but Twitters recent blacklisting of QAnon content involved banning thousands of accounts, blocking QAnon content and accounts from appearing in trends, recommendation, and search, and blocking links that are associated with QAnon content.
Facebook already has measures in place to blacklist content and accounts that it deems to be dangerous, hate figures, or hate domains. Once an individual, organization, or domain is blacklisted in this way, theyre banned from Facebooks platforms and users are prohibited from mentioning them or linking to their content, unless the post criticizes or condemns them.
Applying one of these designations to QAnon would yield similar results to Twitters blacklisting of the topic and prevent accounts or posts associated with QAnon from appearing sitewide, unless theyre condemning QAnon.
Facebook previously purged some QAnon content from its platform in May with a total of 31 QAnon groups, pages, and accounts being taken down. In this instance, Facebook said the accounts were removed for coordinated inauthentic behavior ahead of the 2020 election in the US.
These pending restrictions on QAnon content are reflective of the increased sanctions Big Tech has placed on anything that it deems to be conspiracy content over the last few years.
In 2018, YouTube started adding Wikipedia panels to anything that was deemed to be conspiracy content but these panels didnt affect its distribution.
In 2019, YouTube started reducing recommendations of anything that it deems to be borderline content with discussions of several conspiracy theories being suppressed as a result of this change.
In 2020, the Big Tech platforms started outright banning certain coronavirus discussions such as those linking coronavirus and 5G.
Not only has this increased censorship of anything thats deemed to be a conspiracy by the Big Tech overlords laid the groundwork for what appears to be a blanket ban of QAnon accounts and content across all the major social media platforms but its also coming less than four months before the 2020 US presidential elections.
With QAnon followers being largely pro-Trump, this purported QAnon purge could also wipe out a notable portion of the accounts that support President Trump and restrict their ability to spread his message online during these decisive months.
Qbots think they are so dangerous that Facebook and Twitter are scared of them.
As if.
Q is just another branch of conservatives that are being targeted by Social Media.
That’s my thoughts exactly.
I was neutral about Q for some time, especially in light of “trust Sessions” — although I must also admit that I was myself neutral about Sessions until it was obvious he was either compromised or incompetent or both.
Now, I’m starting to wonder if there may not be something to these cryptic Q posts after all.
One thing that really grabbed me was a short video that moved about two weeks ago with Lt. Gen. Flynn administering a loyalty oath to a group of patriots.
The ceremony ended with the general saying “Where We Go One, We Go All.
This is one of Q’s signature lines, as I think many here will know.
As things stand now, I’m starting to lean toward believing Q. I listen to the X22 report on You Tube most nights, which gives the latest Q drops, along with news analysis from other sources.
What the heck, it’s better than defeatism.
ANTIFA on twitter - https://twitter.com/search?q=antifa&src=typed_query&f=user
ANTIFA on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/search/pages/?q=antifa
Plenty of presence on both.
Harmless conspiracy theorists get kicked off because they’re Trump supporters.
ANTIFA burns down black businesses, attacks municipal buildings and cops but won’t get kicked off.
I am not a follower of Q. I think his stuff is so-so in terms of predictive and certainly the ability to follow the stuff can be tough.
That said, if Durham is going to drop by the end of the summer, this makes sense (from Facebook’s perspective.) They want to avoid the complete blow out in eyeballs if everyone is fighting over that stuff all fall.
Its all about the dollars.
As fb and the other social media gear up for the final push of the current election campaign, and throw all their power and resources behind the democrat candidate, and to the trashing of Trump.
The Where we go one, we go all...is nothing new.
It has been a phrase since the days of Alexander Dumas—and dare I say before that.
I am not disparaging Q or Flynn or anyone. Its just this might have been used by Q, but it is certainly not “his.”
Actually Q has posted links to this movie trailer in regards to the saying. It is also a saying used by some in the military. Q does not claim to be the originator:

Watch. They will all ban Trump a week or two before the election.
You should sell that slogan on tshirts and hats. Make a few bucks.
Check out praying medic too. He makes sence of the crypticness of some of the crumbs.
I was referring to what the other poster said.
Check out Praying Medic, he is a fantastic Q decoder.
If we had a political party, they wouldn’t be able to do this and keep their immunity.
Antifa is still ok though. Dont worry.
In one of President Trumps rally’s he said (approximately).
“Before I was President I had never spent the night in Washington DC, However I had been their many times. 17 Times to be exact”.
17 is of course the letter “Q”.
Take what you will from that. If anything Q is there to jerk their chains. Mighty hard I might add.
And no I don’t trust sessions.
“Liberalism dies without censorship.”
Thanks. I’ve seen a few of his videos but nothing lately. I will certainly check him out again, along with X22.
Right now, I’m trying very, very hard to not give in to defeatism. Hope is a powerful thing — but also dangerous.
I've served in the company of these QAnons, people not
afraid to tell the truth, even if their voice shakes.
Even if they get identified, canceled, their efforts
censored and deleted over and over again. #YetWePersist
I'm not ashamed to support them with the little I can
bring to the party.
So I retweet their discoveries and Meme-Unition along with
my own small contributions.
Anyone can make a difference.
Working and praying together just multiplies the impact.
We are obviously NOT aligned with those that say there's
"no 'There' there", nor are we with the "nothings happening,
no one will be punished, it's all over, the country was lost
in 'pick a year'", and who want us to stop making noise
about it, and all the other lies the EneMedia narrates,
falsely, on command, your and our world with.
Those people aim to divide us from all of you, each of you,
and keep everyone at everyone's throats so we leave the
truly responsible to keep on about their evil business.
Q asks a lot of questions, and points a lot, and seems
to serve as back-channel communications to the people,
from seemingly Presidential sanctioned good guys,
which results in tons of research, discussion, Prayer,
and Meme-Unition. Lots and Lots of Meme-Unition,
blasting more truth than the Elite and EneMedia are OK with.
So it's not that we are aligned with Q...
We're aligned with the President. And very importantly,
we're also aligned with THIS guy, and we are NOT just
157,000 people on Twitter. Think Global. Think Legion.
Let's look back at General Michael Flynn, talking about
a Civilian Army of Digital Soldiers...
Citizen Journalists...
Yeah, the guy and his whole family just in the news for
taking the recently "Q" promoted common Government
Officer's Oath, and ending it with the saying from a
certain boat bell that "Q" has used relentlessly, which
has become THE CATCH PHRASE for the global QAnon movement.
"Where We Go One, We Go All"
Just like all the others here and around the world that
are taking that oath have been doing before General Flynn
and his Family did it with us.
Perhaps America's Intel General is clueless about QAnon, though...
Let's listen to That General Flynn, back before the Cabal came
after him to try and stop what's coming...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=V2MgTd3LgB0
It seems we're enough of a pain in the a$$ about it ALL to
get quarantined, censored or shut down everywhere we
are heard. 4chan, 8chan, Reddit, now Twitter.
<Sarcasm> If only the President had NOT encouraged us by NEVER
telling Q their serving, while OK, was NOT actually at his pleasure...
as the Q Team always claimed to be, and instead retweeting all
those QAnoners tweets, and constantly timing his Presidential Tweets
with Q posts (Relevent Ones, Even!) within a few seconds behind Q.
He, Q+, Set Us Up! </Sarcasm>
The choice to know, and act, remains yours.
A click on my hat shows what put me on their list.
And there is NOTHING ironic about the fact that given what we are fighting,
THIS is now our choice. /S (Move along, move along, nothing to see here...)

“Trust Sessions.”
Yeah, about that....
Why are you having feelings of defeatism. We’re winning. There is a huge movement of, now former democrats, leaving that marxist anti-American party and coming over to Trump’s side. You are allowing the psyops to work on you. Buck up man, put some titanium in you spine. I mean you know full well that the polling you hear about is totally fake, even worse than in 2016. You not believing them are you? All of them oversample dems by 13-18 pts and under sample R’s by 10-15 pts; women are oversampled by 5 to 10 pts I mean they’re not even close to scientific in their methodology. So again, why are you feeling defeated?
