Jake
Johnson schreef op Common Dreams een artikel over de grote zuivering
van de alternatieve (echt) onafhankelijke media op Facebook en
Twitter. Het gaat hier niet alleen om het onderuithalen van de vrijheid op meningsuiting, zelfs het vormen van een mening wordt geweld aangedaan…….
Met
de reinste kul argumenten stellen deze organisaties dat ze accounts
met ‘spam’ en ‘onecht gedrag’, hebben verwijderd, ofwel Facebook
heeft ‘het gedrag van het nepaccounts hebben’ gecensureerd, accounts die
gebruikt zouden worden om de advertentie-inkomsten op te
vijzelen……
Uiteraard
gaat het Facebook, Twitter en anderen daar helemaal niet om, nee de berichtgeving in de
alternatieve media moet worden geblokkeerd, berichtgeving die ingaat tegen de
veelal van ‘fake news’ (nepnieuws) bolstaande berichtgeving door de
reguliere massamedia……. Ofwel Facebook en Twitter hebben laten
zien dat ze allesbehalve onafhankelijke organisaties zijn en geven daarbij
juist de haat- en angstzaaiende massamedia*, die zoals gezegd ook nog
eens liegen en bedriegen, alle ruimte op hun platforms…..
Facebook heeft zelfs samengewerkt met de Saoedische reli-fascistische dictatuur en werkt voorts o.a. samen met de Atlantic Council, een lobbyorgaan van terreurorganisatie NAVO (zie de links onderaan in dit bericht)…..
Nogmaals: censuur is een onderdeel van beleid in fascistische dictaturen!! Je kan dan ook niet anders concluderen dan de gang naar censuur is een grote stap richting dictatuur, waar overheden tegenwoordig ook nog eens bijna elke stap en elk gesproken en geschreven woord van een individu kunnen volgen……. De nazi’s hadden zich met deze bijna totale controle, de vieze bloederige poten nog eens extra afgelikt…..

noemt als één van de getroffen (echt) onafhankelijke mediaorganen,

Facebook
Accused of ‘Full-Frontal Suppression of Dissent’ After Independent
Media Swept Up in Mass Purge
The
massive shutdown affected many progressive sites devoted to covering
war, police brutality, and other issues neglected by the corporate
media
“Those
who demanded Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants censor
political content—something they didn’t actually want to do—are
finding that content that they themselves support and like end up
being repressed,” noted The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald in
response to Facebook’s announcement. “That’s what has happened
to every censorship advocate in history.” (Photo: Legal Loop)
After
Facebook announced on
Thursday that it shut down and removed hundreds of pages and accounts
that it vaguely accused of spreading “spam” and engaging in
“inauthentic behavior,” some of the individuals and
organizations caught up in the social media behemoth’s dragnet
disputed accusations that they were violating the platform’s rules
and raised alarm that Facebook is using its enormous power to silence
independent political perspectives that run counter to the corporate
media’s dominant narratives.
While
it is reasonable to assume that some of the more than 800 total pages
and accounts shut down by Facebook were engaged in overtly fraudulent
behavior—such as the use of fake accounts and bots to generate ad
revenue—numerous independent media outlets
that cover a wide array of issues say
they were swept up in the massive purge despite never using such
tactics.
“Facebook
has removed the pages of several police
accountability/watchdog/critic groups, including Cop Block, the Free
Thought Project, and Police the Police,” Washington
Post journalist
Radley Balko noted in
a tweet following Facebook’s announcement. “They’ve also
apparently severely restricted activity for the Photography Is Not a
Crime page.”
Activist,
comedian, and political commentator Lee Camp argued that Facebook’s
purge is clear evidence that the “purging of anti-establishment
thought is upon us” and described the account shutdowns as
“full-frontal suppression of dissent.”
Everyone, this is MASSIVELY important. American censorship is reaching a new level. Sites like Anti-Media, Free Thought Project and others, have been ripped down by Facebook today. The purging of anti-establishment thought is upon us. twitter.com/AntiMedia/stat…
NOT ONLY were great journalistic sites like @AntiMedia and @TFTPROJECT banned from Facebook in yesterday’s PURGE of dissident voices, but simultaneously their Twitter accounts & the accounts of their editors were SUSPENDED, like @CareyWedler. Full-frontal suppression of dissent!
Speaking
to journalist
Alex Rubinstein after they found out Facebook shut down their
pages—some of which had hundreds of thousands of followers—the
founders of Police the Police, the Free Thought Project, and other
now-shuttered pages denied Facebook’s hazy charge of “fraudulent”
activity and accused the company of attempting to suppress dissenting
voices that refuse to toe the corporate line.
“Our
approach generally is to cover stories and angles that corporate
media underreport or misreport and to amplify activist and anti-war
voices and stories. All of our content is professionally fact-checked
and edited,” said Nicholas Bernabe, founder of The
Anti-Media,
a self-described “anti-establishment” website whose
Facebook page was shut down along with hundreds of others on
Thursday. “I can only speculate that these suspensions were a
coordinated effort to stifle our message ahead of the coming
elections.”
While
some of the pages Facebook removed on Thursday were
affiliated with right-wing sites that
were spreading patently false stories, censorship opponents have long
warned of the “slippery
slope”
of empowering corporate giants to suppress certain kinds of content,
given that the suppression almost always expands far beyond the
original target.
“Those
who demanded Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants censor
political content—something they didn’t actually want to do—are
finding that content that they themselves support and like end up
being repressed,” noted The
Intercept‘s
Glenn Greenwald in response to Facebook’s announcement. “That’s
what has happened to every censorship advocate in history.”
Though
Facebook has yet to release a full list of the pages and accounts it
removed, several
individuals affected by
the purge have taken to other social media platforms to denounce the
social media giant for squashing pages that took years to develop.
Facebook took down my page with nearly 70,000 followers, labeling it as “spam,” when I have spent 4 years working to build that page up and using it to post the articles I wrote and videos of my reporting. This is so incredibly wrong and is affecting hundreds of similar pages.
