The Masters of the Universe at Facebook have banned multiple conservative personalities from both Facebook and Instagram, including Infowars host Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Milo Yiannopoulos.
The Atlantic reports that Instagram and its parent company Facebook has banned a number of conservative personalities from its platforms, including Infowars host Alex Jones, Infowars contributor and YouTube star Paul Joseph Watson, journalist and activist Laura Loomer, and Milo Yiannopoulos. Louis Farrakhan was notably also banned from the platforms at the same time.
Paul Joseph Watson confirmed his ban, claiming he has not broken Facebook’s rules, and commenting, “In an authoritarian society controlled by a handful of Silicon Valley giants, all dissent must be purged.”
Infowars has faced the strictest treatment with Facebook and Instagram promising to remove any Infowars related content posted by another account or page. This includes videos, radio segments, and articles. Any Groups related to the banned figures or Facebook Events promoting them will also be removed according to a Facebook spokesperson.
All of the individuals related to the pages have had their personal accounts banned also, this includes Farrakhan, Jones, Loomer, Watson, Yiannopoulos. Users may still share content relating to these figures on Instagram or Facebook, however, it appears that it is only content directly linked to Infowars that is fully banned.
In an email to the Atlantic, a Facebook spokesperson stated: “We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology. The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.”

Apparently it has something to do with them being “publishers” ….not sure I understand why a public company can stop free speech from some….and not from others….

Breitbart is censoring comments and stories right now. It is going blank. All my comments for the last 6 hours have disappeared. Articles about FB and the Muslim Brotherhood will not open to allow comments!
I always find it entertaining when someone whines about their posts being censored and when I try to take a look at their post history they’ve blocked it themselves…
“In an email to the Atlantic, a Facebook spokesperson stated: “We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate,….” Really. Since when has Laura Loomer, Paul Watson or Milo ever promoted violence. Answer: Never. Perhaps it’s a blessing they are no longer on FB. They can start or go to another platform and will have just as much success, if not more.
The Facebook spokesperson should at least be honest and admit that as whimsical bum crawling cowards they are so terribly afraid of the Muslims. One can certainly not call them Americans. They cowardly do follow the Muslim orders without delay………..just sickening !! .

It should be obvious by looking at that picture you have children ruling you. And you were warned in the Bible Yahuah sends you women and children to RULE you when you SIN.
Look at Nonsence Pssylosi and Amazie Hirono. Both berating real MEN. But what has Amazie or Nonsence ever done besides live off the teat of government?? Developed by men, paid by men.
The fatal flaw of Facebook is that they want to be all things to all people,and not just a digital USA Today,bu a digital World Today. They have had a good run but are being torn apart by this flaw. Just like there are several TV stations in every market there will soon be several Facebook’s serving different interests and demographic segments.
I don’t do FB, nor Instagram, nor Twitter…..and getting very close to no longer reading or posting on BB…the Trump-hating Mercers own it and they are allowing armies of Bots to stop conservatives from posting there. I have been monitored again and again for saying anything that criticizes Killary or S oros….that tells you all you need to know.

Everyone believes the propaganda from the Leftist Wacko conspiracy theorists in control of the Left Stream media that smears Alex Jones as a wacko conspiracy theorist…Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Alex Jones may exaggerate to some extent and is passionate but at least he has been right on target about exposing the Globalist Leftist wackos trying to destroy our country. That’s why they censor him and Infowars in toto including videos linked to his shows. There are 2 other major shows on Infowars with David Knight and Owen Shroyer. Shroyer is both funny and informative. Here’s one of Shroyer’s one man demonstrations—this one is against political violence by going into the lion’s den on a University campus: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1YqGojPpjNvKv

Right now, Facebook controls 90+% of the Social Media market. There is little competition, so they have a free hand in who and how they let people express themselves. This is an exercize in power, and they are the Amazon of the media world.
For a long time, the “Community” has been controlled by Zuckerburgs whims. He is careful about who he offends, and who he somehow manages to defend. Sometimes, the lack of response is roaringly overwhealming, and sometimes it is just plainly ignored.
Conservative writers and reporters are routinely “moderated” and outlandish comments are allowed. The problem is that the truth is stiffled, while hyperbolic statements are blown up all over the internet. And, often, anti-Semitic tropes and trolls became common, while voices of dissent are silenced.
Louis Farrakhan preaches hate, and he has been finally shut down, but for how long? He has a lot of followers, and they include an ex-president and many entertainers.
On the other hand, people like actor James Woods is suspended, and Laura Loomer disappeared, even if they were speaking obvious truth. It is common for Conservative writers to get a notice that something they mentioned goes agains “Community Standards” and will not be published, or you are suspended. Nobody will review those Standards with you, should this happen to you, but they will go on about referring to those standards. On the other hand, we have all seen the characterization of hook-nosed Jews.
We have also seen that issues are totally repressed if they are really news. How many people know that there is active political war going on in Myanmar that nobody can talk about? Why is Europe able to censor large news items effecting people’s lives in Europe and it never gets into Facebook?
Facebook is killing the First Amendment Right to Free Speech. One man has all this power and nobody is scrutinizing him and his motives very closely. Yet, he does have the power to sway large masses of people.
