Facebook blocks Trump’s social media chief: 'Why are you silencing me?'
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/18/19 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/18/2019 6:27:21 PM PDT by Revel

Facebook abruptly censored the account of President Trump’s chief social media guru, blocking him for simply responding to a question from a reader.

Dan Scavino Jr. said on Facebook that his page was blocked without notice.

“AMAZING. WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME from replying to comments followers have left me - on my own Facebook Page!!?? People have the right to know. Why are you silencing me??? Please LMK! Thanks,” he wrote today.

Scavino is responsible for several of the president's and White House's social media accounts. He has been with the president for years.

His accounts have a tremendous following, so a block on Facebook has a big reach.

Even the average poster is getting post pulled,
“DOESN’T MEET COMMUNITY” Standards, same goes for Youtube.

I get several a week.

I posted 1 on both FB and Youtube of my Disabled G. Nephew being Road Rage twice his size opponent beat up on the school bus, next day I got the above message and both were pulled. Bus driver did nothing, principal gave 3 day in school suspension. He’s picked on because of the Duchene’s MD has his tongue muscles not working right, he’s smaller than the normal 13 yr old. He’s already lived nearly half his expected lifespan of late 20
s to early 30’s. His mom had just sustained a severe concussion and not allowed to drive. She finally got someone to drive her to the Police Dept to file charges. All they did was talk to the Principal, result 5 day out of school suspension. Because he’s not under the care of a Pediatric Neurologist, and the Adult one won’t give him a Diagnosis despite Positive Gene testing and a family history of Duchene’s MD he can’t file for Disability Protection or Disability. He is classified as “Special Needs” because of the speech impediment.

Virtual Private Network.

Basically an encrypted connection to another server, in another country, that makes new network connections (e.g. web page requests) on behalf of you.

This technology is used by corporations so that employees can access internal corp data from across the internet.

There are third party VPN services anyone can use and they can’t stop you from doing it.

“Some of your comments have been reported as spam”????

It's how the Left silences those they don't agree with. Just have a bunch of people pile on reporting a posting as "spam" or "abuse", and Facebook's automated algorithms will block the user.

Of course, abuse of the process could be fixed fairly easily: just have a reasonable human review at least a random sampling of the complaints, and if the complainers are falsely reporting, have THEIR ability to report spam and abuse "shadow banned". But that assumes that Facebook wants to. This way, they get conservatives banned and can claim clean hands.

Part of the issue is that Facebook knows that Leftists would desert the platform if they couldn't shut down opinions they oppose.

Who’s next? Trump?

Yes, that's been their goal all along. MSM. SNL. FB. Etc. They are all out to stop Trump. All should be considered commercials by the DNC and should be dealt with as such by campaign rules. Equal time should get them in trouble, bigly.

'Why are you silencing me?'

Because we can. And as election day 2020 nears, it shall get progressively worse until total silence is achieved.

Aren’t there guidelines about that?

like unless you’re a talk show you have to show non bias?

or maybe i don’t know what i’m talking about

Start with a $250 million lawsuit to get their attention.

Then go UP from there.

Sounds like a direct hitman vigilante is needed with only one violent session in the woodshed.
