For the past two months, I have intermittently been barred from Facebook.
The first time it happened was in June, when I tried to post my Israel Hayom column. Suddenly, a window popped up, telling me that inappropriate material had been found on, and removed from, my page. I was warned that if I continued violating Facebook’s “community standards,” I would be banned from the social network for good.
The notice included a link specifying these standards, and a demand that I click to acknowledge I had read and understood them. Failure to do so, it said, would result in my inability even to open Facebook to read my newsfeed. I complied.

No surprise, Google/Youtube is the same. These are liberal run services and anti-Semitism is part of liberalism. Israeli supporters are attacked and falsely reported, and the service provider goes along. OTOH, the jihadis are well protected.
Where is our Conservative Alternative, to all 3?
And yet conservatives flock there to post their minutia.
Not THIS Conservative. I dropped Facebook months ago and haven’t missed it even once!
I wish I could get my bride to stop. I have asked her to not post my image or talk about me at all. So far she has.
The thing is, these people aren’t getting banned by human facebook employees.
Liberals are maliciously tagging their posts as spam or abuse, which at a certain threshold triggers automated lockdown routines.
Conservatives need to start playing the same game.
Repeated complaints about the “kill George zimmerman” pages on Facebook (whole groups about this subject not just a singular post) did not get those groups shuttered.
There IS a double standard at play and it is Stalinist/Orwellian.
Only Nation in the middle easst where women are not mutilated and can drive....
Women who are Liberals and NAGS complain constantly about it!!!!!!
Conservatives need to start playing the same game.
Agreed!!!!!
I guess murdering your wife and placing the photo of her deceased body on your page bragging about that fact, complies with FB’s “Community Standards.”
Facebook is following the example of MSM - filter viewpoints to remain popular, but they will lose customers as a result.
Yes, I’ll never understand it. I’m the opposite, I fill out fake info for everything, have single-use email accounts, and nothing with my real name. FB is not for me.
Oh yes, there is a deliberate double standard at work, it is not just automated software.
