Censorship at Facebook runs rampant

Let's document all the ways in the past two months. (And yes, constitutionally, only governments censor but I'm using it in an everyday sense.)

First, I tried to post Ken Klippenstein's JD Vance dossier piece. Taken down.

Then, my blog post about that piece. Yanked.

Then, after that, Ken's May piece about Genocide Joe trying to get Hucksterman et al to censor pro-Palestinian activists. Gone but reposted by me when I saw the notification.

After that, not censored, but Hucksterman blocked the "captcha" of the photo going with this piece from Mondoweiss exposing the lies about an alleged antisemitic pogrom in Amsterdam, when it was really Israeli soccer hooligans accompanied by Mossad.

Then, last week? It kept calling this blog post, my riff via Bob Marley about this year's JFK assassination anniversary, spam and taking it down. Multiple times.

I don't know if it was idiotic bots, Hucksterman's humans in the Philippines not understanding snark, Hucksterman bots or humans thinking I was violating Bob Marley copyright, or bots or humans thinking I was inciting violence myself.

In any case, compared to the comment that Substack is full of Nazis (and setting aside that Beehiiv or Ghost might be easier to use), they're not Fuckbook. OTOH, Substack is still free. (When it stops being that, I stop posting there.)
