In an effort to fight “fake news” before the November midterm elections, Facebook has shut down over 800 accounts and pages accused of spreading “misinformation,” including many conservative pages, some with millions of followers.
On Thursday, Facebook revealed that they removed 251 accounts and shut down 559 pages for breaking the sites rules against spam and “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” according to Facebook’s cybersecurity policy chief Nathaniel Gleicher and product manager Oscar Rodriguez. In a blog post the two Facebook employees discussed the deletion of accounts and pages saying:
Many were using fake accounts or multiple accounts with the same names and posted massive amounts of content across a network of Groups and Pages to drive traffic to their websites. Many used the same techniques to make their content appear more popular on Facebook than it really was. Others were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate.Of course, there are legitimate reasons that accounts and Pages coordinate with each other — it’s the bedrock of fundraising campaigns and grassroots organizations. But the difference is that these groups are upfront about who they are, and what they’re up to.
However, many of the accounts and pages removed appear to be legitimate pages and accounts, many of whom are conservative or libertarian in their content and discussion topics. From Conservative bloggers NoisyRoom, to the page for Right Wing News, which reportedly had more than 3 million follower, reports of legitmate accounts being taken down spread quickly:
Terresa at Noisy Room is another old school original conservative blogger swept up in the @Facebook pre-midterm election purge. We see you, Silicon Valley.
They are shutting down sites spreading the TRUTH by saying those sites are spreading "disinformation". CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc spread disinfo every damn day.
SIREN: Facebook just shut down the ‘Right Wing News’ page with its 3.1 million followers twitchy.com/gregp-3534/201…
Facebook just purged hundreds of independent news pages.
A lot of these pages were run by very real, real-life friends of mine who worked hard to build them.

Here’s a list of pages taken down that just one single friend of mine lost. Most deal with police accountability, libertarianism, and cannabis. pic.twitter.com/gatVFQmepN
Antiwar critics of establishment politics @AntiMedia and @TFTPROJECT just had their pages with millions of followers deleted by Facebook, along with hundreds of other alternative media outlets. Latest escalation of corporate censorship used as state censorship in the west.
Other pages reportedly affected by this crackdown include the page of conservative commentator Joe The Plumber and a page dedicated to former U.S. Congressman Allen West called the Allen West Republic.
Shortly after Facebook’s decision to delete these pages and accounts, Twitter appeared to follow suit removing some accounts linked to the deleted Facebook pages.

Holy shit. The Anti-Media’s Page was just removed from Twitter. So Twitter and Facebook are coordinating this.

While Facebook has long claimed to be neutral in their moderation practices, only recently an employee left the company while decrying it’s “intolerant” liberal culture. Facebook engineer Brian Amerige criticized what he called the company’s “political monoculture” and felt that he could no longer stay at the company as he “disagree[s] too strongly with where we’re heading on these issues to watch what happens next.”
Amerige stated in a memo to other employees: “I care too deeply about our role in supporting free expression and intellectual diversity to even whole-heartedly attempt the product stuff anymore, and that’s how I know it’s time to go… I’ve been thinking about this for almost a year, and though a certain leak delayed me a bit, I know it’s time for me to move on,” he wrote. “I’m not leaving because ‘it’s time for something new, I’m leaving because I’m burnt out on Facebook, our strategy, our culture, and our product.”
Amerige continued to say: “Strategically, we’ve taken a stance on how to balance offensive and hateful speech with free expression. We’ve accepted the inevitability of government regulation. And we’ve refused to defend ourselves in the press. Our policy strategy is pragmatism — not clear, implementable long-term principles — and our PR strategy is appeasement — not morally earned pride and self-defense.”
He added: “While I remain as in love as ever with our mission and my colleague’s nearly-always good intentions, I disagree too strongly with where we’re heading on these issues to watch what happens next. These issues hang over my head each morning, and I don’t want to spend all of my time fighting about them.”
“My departure isn’t because I think these issues are intractable. These problems can be solved — just not by me, nor anymore, at least,” Amerige wrote. “I care too deeply about our role in supporting free expression and intellectual diversity to even whole-heartedly attempt the product stuff anymore, and that’s how I know it’s time to go.”
Amerige’s previous internal Facebook memo stated: “We are a political monoculture that’s intolerant of different views … we claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology.”

BARACK OBAMA’S CONSPIRACY FOR A THIRD TERM FOR LIFE
First, destroy Trump and put away Hillary.
HE PARTNERS WITH ZUCKERBERG, SOROS AND LOUIS FARRAKHAN
“Obama would declare himself president for life with Soros
really running the show, as he did for the entire Obama presidency.”
“Hillary was always
small potatoes, a placeholder as it were. Her health was always suspect. And do
you think the plotters would have let a doofus like Tim Kaine take office in
the event that Hillary became disabled?”
“Obama has the
totalitarian impulse. After all, he went around saying he didn't have
Constitutional authority to legalize the illegals, and then he tried anyway.
The courts stopped him.”
“The bottom line 2 is
this: Barack Obama is a Communist. This was all an Obama operation. Why is
anyone surprised that a communist (Obama) tried to subvert an election. That is
what Communists do. It is Barack Obama and his people like Brennan and Clapper
behaving to type. That's what Maduro does in Venezuela. That's what the Castro
brothers did. That's what every communist and socialist nation does. THEY FIX ELECTIONS!!”
“Hillary
kept a secret server overflowing with national security info which, more than
likely, was hacked. June 28, 2016, on a Phoenix tarmac, Bill Clinton met with
Attorney General Loretta Lynch to seal a deal insuring Hillary would not be
prosecuted.”
“Obama, of course, covered
up his own role, depicting his presidency as eight years of heroic
efforts to repair the damage caused by the 2008 financial crash. At
the end of those eight years, however, Wall Street and the financial
oligarchy were fully recovered, enjoying record wealth, while
working people were poorer than before, a widening social chasm that
made possible the election of the billionaire con man and Demagogue in November
2016.”

OBOMB for
BRIBES:
BARACK OBAMA
AGAIN TALKS THIRD TERM.
President
Barack Obama: During
his presidential campaign, President Obama promised to run an ethical and
transparent administration. However, in his first year in office, the President
has delivered corruption and secrecy, bringing Chicago-style political
corruption to the White House. JUDICIAL WATCH
“They knew Obama
was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was a train
wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him president, to the great injury of
America and the world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an egomaniac,
and a liar; yet they made him king, doing great harm to our republic (perhaps
irreparable.)”
ALLAN ERICKSON
"We know that
Obama and his inner circle have set up a war room in his D.C. home to plan
and execute resistance to the Trump administration and
his legislative agenda. None of these people care about the
American people, or the fact thatTrump won the election because
millions of people voted for him." Patricia McCarthy / AMERICAN THINKER.com
Obamanomics: How Barack
Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate
Lobbyists, and Union Bosses
BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY
Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making You
Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same
“special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are
profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers,
small businesses, and consumers. In Obamanomics, investigative
reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and
the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is
delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling
corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s
Obamanomics.
Allum Bokhari: Google ‘Admits They’re Moving Towards Censorship’
Breitbart News Senior Tech reporter Allum Bokhari appeared on One America News Network recently to discuss the latest Breitbart exclusive Google “The Good Censor” document leak with host Jack Posobiec.
In an interview with One America News Network host Jack Posobiec, Breitbart News Senior Tech reporter Allum Bokhari discussed the recent exclusive Breitbart leak of an 85-page internal Google document which states that the idea of free speech is a “utopian dream” that is no longer possible, and outlines the growing crackdown of speech on social media.
Bokhari appeared on the OANN to discuss the document, a short clip from the interview posted by interviewer Jack Posobiec can be seen below:
WATCH: Exclusive Sitdown with @LibertarianBlue on Massive Google Leak of Internal Censorship Memos @OANN
“Google said the document is just research and it doesn’t reflect company policy,” said Bokhari. “That doesn’t make sense to me as an explanation because the briefing is a description of company policy, it says this is where things are going, this is the direction of travel, this is where things are moving, this is where we need to move if we want to accomplish certain things.”
“The three top things that the briefing reveals, one: they admit they are shifting towards censorship and Silicon Valley as a whole is shifting towards censorship. Two: they admit that they, Twitter and Facebook now control the majority of online conversation and three: they make the business case for censorship. They say you need to censor in order to protect advertisers from controversy and you need to censor in order to maintain global expansion.”

BUILDING THE BILLIONAIRES’
GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or
Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.
GOOGLE WORKED TO RIGGED THE
ELECTION FOR THE SWAMP EMPRESS TO KEEP THE FOREIGN INVADERS COMING SO WAGES ARE
KEPT DEPRESSED!
Clinton
said. "I want to stop the degrading of the rule of law. The delegitimizing
of elections."
http://hillaryclinton-whitecollarcriminal.blogspot.com/2018/09/google-rigged-it-so-illegals-would-vote.html
The Clintons, through their
fraudulent Clinton Foundation, looted the poor of Haiti to fill their pockets…
google it!
1.
Globalism: Google
VP Kent Walker insists that despite its repeated rejection by electorates
around the world, “globalization” is an “incredible force for good.”
2.
Hillary Clinton’s Democratic
party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not
a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat.
3. Immigration: Maintaining
liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most.
HILLARY CLINTON’S GLBALIST VISION:
SURRENDER OF OUR BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX AND SUCKING IN GLOBAL
BRIBES FOR THE PHONY CLINTON FOUNDATION
Even though it has gone
virtually unreported by corporate media, Breitbart News has extensively documented the
Clintons’
longstanding support for
“open borders.” Interestingly, as the Los Angeles Times observed
in 2007, the Clinton’s praise for
globalization and open
borders frequently comes when they are
speaking before a wealthy
foreign audiences and donors.
