*Facebook Censors Remove Post About Canadian Political Prisoner Arthur
Topham & Shut Down Poster's Account*
**
*Facebook is a social medium that offers free access to some 500 million
people to keep in touch with their friends, to post information about
themselves and to involve themselves in discussions and debates.*
**
*It was founded by Zionist Mark Zukerberg who has become a billionaire
from this operation. Facebook invokes it's loosey-goosey politically
correct policy.*
**
Censorship is an ugly thing. Facebook restricts people and bans and
deletes people all the time for their political or racial views, all
according to their bogus "community standards" policy which is so open
ended as to mean anything and nothing.

*It's mission statement proclaims: "*
*Facebook gives people around the world the power to publish their own
stories, see the world through the eyes of many other people, and connect
and share wherever they go. The conversation that happens on Facebook – and
the opinions expressed here – mirror the diversity of the people using
Facebook.

To balance the needs and interests of a global population, Facebook
protects expression that meets the community standards outlined on this
page."

*So, free speech protected? Not a chance! *"Facebook does not permit hate
speech. While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events,
and practices, it is a serious violation to attack a person based on their
race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual
orientation, disability or medical condition."*

"Communiy Standards"! Bollocks! It's politically correct censorship. The
"standards" can mean whatever some censor wants them to mean.

In the past few weeks, dozens of White nationalists have been banned.
Almost never is a reason given. It is impossible to challenge or debate the
banning. One person of my acquaintance has been banned 57 times this year.
Creating new accounts involves an ongoing battle with the thought police.

I've been banned four times thus far this year. Last night, I posted a copy
of a report written by Canadian political prisoner and dissident Arthur
Topham. I include it here.

Shortly after I posted it, my account was disabled. They ask me to identify
pictures of some of my friends. One picture is of the Hindenburg over New
York City. Another is a long shot of students holding some sort of placards
on some school stage. Now, which of my friends might that be: Sue, John,
Kevin, Sam, Alice?

When one of my contacts tried to click on my page, this is what she was
told. "*." This message was deleted automatically because it contained
content that has been flagged as abusive or marked as spam."*

Clearly, the message has nothing to do with "spam" or "hate". Facebook is
up to its billionaire nerdy eyeballs in censorship.
