Facebook has suspended the page of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an action that came fast on the heels of Twitter permanently banning the Republican congresswoman’s account.
Rep. Greene decried Facebook’s actions in a post on Gab.com, the free speech friendly social network, accusing them of censoring her for critical commentary on the Vaccine Averse Reactions System (VAERS), the official system for reporting negative vaccine side-effects to the government.
“This is beyond censorship of speech,” said Rep. Greene. “I’m an elected Member of Congress representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens and I represent their voices, values, defend their freedoms, and protect the Constitution.”
“But apparently they too think the CDC managed #VAERS system on our own government websites are misinformation. And to date there has been ZERO investigation into reported Covid deaths from government mandated #covid vaccines.”
“Who appointed Twitter and Facebook to be the authorities of information and misinformation? When Big Tech decides what political speech of elected Members is accepted and what’s not then they are working against our government and against the interest of our people.”
In the Facebook post that resulted in her suspension, Rep. Greene drew attention to the radical changes that have occurred across society since 2020.
“After 2020, we crossed into a new time dating method. BC and AC. Before Covid. After Covid,” Greene wrote. “We are moving into the third year AC.”
Rep. Greene is one of the most popular Republican members of Congress on social media, with hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple platforms. Prior to her ban from Twitter, she had nearly half a million followers on the platform, one of the largest of any Republican representative.

“I’m an elected Member of Congress representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens...”
If we replace all the gutless Bush League Republicans, they could.
They are. But it’s a little bit of a head fake. There was nothing too outrageous about her voice content. I think they used that as an excuse to silence her prior to the 1/6 anniversary events.
Fixed that for you.
Let’s all post Marjorie. Doesn’t matter which one. B-D
Eh, no. YMMV.
Yup. Still there
last post was yesterday
Where’s the GOP at?! The party itself is being blacklisted if they don’t toe the DNC line!
“Get a clue, it’s not as simple as saying just move on.”
But it is as simple as having accounts on other services such as Gab or GETTR. If you 100% depend on Twitter, you are in their pocket as much as if they were paying you off.
I am glad to see GETTR getting so much traction lately. Maybe, finally, another service will be able to compete with the massive, monopolistic incumbents.
There is no such thing as “misinformation”. That’s a Soviet concept used to censor opposition.
There is only information.
A free people can determine for themselves whether to accept it or not, whether to believe it or not, whether to even consider it or not.
Tucking tail and running seems to be quite a popular position among Conservative these days. Run from Twitter, run from Facebook, run from public school, run from California and New York, run from the Boy Scouts., etc. This country isn’t being taken over, it’s being given away by Conservatives.
Sounds like an illegal campaign contribution to me.
Just remind Fascist Book and Witless that after the November elections, the Republicans will be looking into their totalitarian activities including kowtowing to Red China like a mad proctologist with a supersized tunnel digging machine.
>>This. Sadly, this includes many conservatives.
Correct - I gave them all up; wasn’t hard at all. You really can’t be a conservative and still use these platforms - any time you spend there is money in the enemies pockets.
Just as hypocritical as being pro-life, and yet bringing your daughter to get an abortion, because you don’t want her future to be impacted.
>> Run from Twitter, run from Facebook,
So you believe that spending time on their services, which makes them more money and gives them even more power and control, is somehow serving a conservative purpose?
Why bother to ban it when they snoop on it and then arrest people, as they did a week or two ago?
Greene as all the social sh*t shows like Sh*tter and Farcebook on the run. Those skanks and pedos at those social media crappers know their commie clocks are going to be cleaned in November.
Time to put big tech under public utility-style regulation, where utilities may not discriminate between customers. Big tech is using its market power to destroy freedom.
