Facebook said Monday it is removing all content containing the phrase "stop the steal" in an attempt to curb misinformation that could incite violence during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.

The phrase refers to President Trump's false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. Trump supporters also organized a rally in November after the election called “Stop the Steal” that drew thousands of Trump supporters to the nation’s capital.

“We’re removing content containing the phrase 'stop the steal' under our Coordinating Harm policy from Facebook & Instagram," Facebook announced in a press release on Monday afternoon.

"We removed the Stop the Steal group in November and continue to remove Pages, groups & events that violate our policies,” Facebook said.

Change the words to “halt the theft”. If they figure that one out, use another phrase that means the same thing. Keep their censors so busy that they start drinking heavily to cope.

Truth is, Stalinist USSR or even Mao's Cultural Revolution never really matched George Orwell's full vision of 1984 .

The social media monopolies are out Orwelling Orwell. Never thought I would see this come to America and certainly not in such a blatant and in your face fashion.

They have no fear and no boundaries that they will not cross. They feel that they are the masters of the universe and a law unto themselves.

“Facebook banning all mentions of ‘stop the steal’ ahead of Biden inauguration.”

I hope to see some very clever replies to this post. How about
“Facebook banning all mentions of Biden inauguration”?

Makes sense, after all, how can anyone threaten an event they have never heard about?

Have any of you had ISPs, VPNs or cellphone networks going offline intermittently? I’ve seen problems with all three here.
