Facebook Inc. said Monday it is removing all content mentioning “stop the steal,” a phrase popular among supporters of President Trump’s claims about the election, as part of a raft of emergency measures to stem misinformation and incitements to violence on its platform in the lead up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

This is fascinating.

They are scared out of their freaking minds.

They might want to think that over in the long run.

How DO they maintain some future totalitarianism when they’re not sure they can even make it through a couple of weeks because of words?

All of this mishagosh is solidifying my conviction that the election was stolen. People who win a clean victory don’t act like this.

What Facebook is doing is an example of what they call back home “covering the sky with your hand” (in other words, trying to hide something you simply can’t hide, this being the valid acknowledgement by 75+ million Americans that the presidential election was stolen).

If they were able to steal an election do you think it is so far fetched that the official story regarding the events of 9-11 is entirely accurate?

America's Tienanmen Square moment.

The rest of the world knows what happened during the election but people in the USA are being told “it didn't” and any evidence or accounts are being deleted from the web and history.

Get off of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg shouldn’t be involved with our Elections. I’m on Parler and Gab instead of Twitter.

Makes sense that Facebook would ban “Stop the Steal” statements, since Zuckerberg was in on the steal in GA BIG TIME.

So...when Facebook ain’t scanning your pages for info to sell advertisers, it’s scanning your pages for “Stop the Steal”.

Should make Facebook members feel all warm and cuddly.

I didn’t realize the world made them the arbiters of morals and what can and cannot be posted on the internet.

My wife told me about this.

My remedy: they obviously use text recognition software that looks for “stop the steal”

How’s this:

$top the steal

Stop the steel

Cease the steal

Freeze the steal

Cease the steal

Stay the steal

terminate the steal

etc.

I’m sure many Freepers can come up with many more...

I am in Florida and I sent the following email to my FL State Representative today. We must never forget that the Nov 2020 election was stolen through fraudulent mail-in ballots.

To my fellow Freepers: If your state allowed ‘no-excuse mail-in’ voting, please contact your State Representatives to rescind those laws.

“As the Florida Legislature will soon be in session, I am asking that you sponsor or support a bill that will totally rescind NO-EXCUSE-MAIL-IN VOTING in the State of Florida.”

How times have changed. Remember exactly fours ago? Dems in the House tried to challenge Trump’s election by not certifying the electoral vote. Their effort lost....the Reps controlled both houses. Also, from election night to well after Trump took the oath, there were riots across America - almost on a daily basis.

Not to mention 2005, when dems, led by Barbara Boxer, challenged the electoral college vote for Bush on the grounds of voter suppression.

There was also a challenge in 2001.

Now....such a challenge is misinformation and treasonous.
