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.

“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.

Halt the Heist...

That's genius.

Should also translate "Stop the Steal" into Spanish, German, Swahili, Chinese, etc.. and post it those ways too!

Thou shalt not steal.

That might work, but Dennis Prager says his video on the Sixth Commandment got banned on YouTube because it included the word “kill”.

They could ban a phrase all they want. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I am tired of this “false claim” crap. The evidence is overwhelming.

It’s going to be fun to watch In Your Face Book die.

It will take some time, but it’s dying as each day passes.
