At last count, I’ve been sentenced to the Facebook gulag 28 times. The only crime I have ever committed is that of posting articles and memes that reflect my Libertarian beliefs. My posts constantly contradict established progressive orthodoxy, which is the official religion of the political left.
Those on the political left firmly believe that any form of communication that contradicts progressive beliefs is hate speech. They mistakenly maintain that hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.
It has been painfully obvious since Facebook first went live that that social media platform is extremely hostile to communications made by those of us on the political right. That is because Mark Zuckerberg is a rabid leftist.
Until recently Facebook would slap articles that contradict progressive orthodoxy with a phony fact check and hide them behind several clicks. After offenders accumulate a couple of these bogus fact checks, they were sent to the gulag for 90 days. During that time hardly anyone sees your posts because they are reduced to the lowest possible priority.
Just this past month Facebook began removing posts entirely. When they do a scary looking message like this one, which I received today, flashes across your screen
As you can see from the title of the actual article they removed, it is in no way spam: Texas Mom Reads Anal Sex Passage From School Book — Mic Gets Cut (taphaps.com). Imagine a book distributed in school that is so pornographic the reading it at a schoolboard meeting gets your mic cut off and posts mentioning it removed from Facebook.
After the screen informing you that they removed your post Facebook warns you that you will be in trouble if you continue posting stuff that they do not like. It is a blatant form of intimidation.
The most pathetic and most dangerous aspect of this censorship nonsense is this screen equating sharing articles that contradict progressive orthodoxy with physical harm.
