Facebook Censorship of “Boogaloo” aka ‘Big Igloo' Groups
On June 30, 2020, Facebook banned a widespread number of Facebook groups that have a loose affiliation with each other by using the term “boogaloo”. Boogaloo has become a shortcut associated with a projected civil war in the United States.
Foxbusiness reports that Facebook used a heavy-handed approach, to include hundreds of groups, many with a simple association with the term “boogaloo”. From foxbusiness:
Facebook said it its policy was a blunt instrument that included removing praise for the banned network and shared pictures, so that many who thought posts were funny will also see their material taken down. The targeted network includes 106 Facebook groups and 220 accounts, and another 400 groups were also removed for hosting similar content.
Prosecutors have linked boogaloo followers to several violent incidents during the recent wave of protests across the United States following the May police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
In at least one group, with 37,000 followers, the administrators contend they are not extremist or violent:
“We're vehemently opposed to the idea of using violence to get your point across. We get kind of shoehorned into the idea of being violent extremists because we support the Second Amendment,” one of the administrators said in reference to the U.S. Constitution's right to bear arms.
That group, Big Igloos Bois on facebook, is one among many which has been taken down. Facebook claims the groups were tied to violence and the advocating of violence against the U.S. government. Link to Facebook explanation on banning “boogaloo“.

Strange. First time I ever heard that word was from blacks in the military (1966-1969) and black workers in a steel shop who said when off duty they were “Going to town to Boogaloo all week end!”

Yeah....they’ll really go nuts when they hear about the BLM and Antifa riots.
I wonder what would happen if someone were to post this on FB:
“I wonder what would happen if someone posted Boogaloo.”
Yes they told me that I shared false information and referred me to WHO if I really wanted to help the world understand.
"boogaloo" is a reference to the title of the 1984 movie "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." It has NOTHING to do with the movie itself, only the fact that the movie is a sequel. Like Civil War II will be the sequel to Civil War I. Hence,b"Civil War II: Electric Boogaloo," or just "boogaloo". That's it. Nothing else. I know, because I was there on the forums when it first became popular. No "juggalos" whatever that is.
WRONG reference. See my post above.
