Facebook Blacklists Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene Following Twitter Ban
Breitbart ^ | 1/3/22 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 01/03/2022 2:42:01 PM PST by conservative98

Facebook has suspended the page of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an action that came fast on the heels of Twitter permanently banning the Republican congresswoman’s account.

Rep. Greene decried Facebook’s actions in a post on Gab.com, the free speech friendly social network, accusing them of censoring her for critical commentary on the Vaccine Averse Reactions System (VAERS), the official system for reporting negative vaccine side-effects to the government.

“This is beyond censorship of speech,” said Rep. Greene. “I’m an elected Member of Congress representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens and I represent their voices, values, defend their freedoms, and protect the Constitution.”

“But apparently they too think the CDC managed #VAERS system on our own government websites are misinformation. And to date there has been ZERO investigation into reported Covid deaths from government mandated #covid vaccines.”

“Who appointed Twitter and Facebook to be the authorities of information and misinformation? When Big Tech decides what political speech of elected Members is accepted and what’s not then they are working against our government and against the interest of our people.”

In the Facebook post that resulted in her suspension, Rep. Greene drew attention to the radical changes that have occurred across society since 2020.

“After 2020, we crossed into a new time dating method. BC and AC. Before Covid. After Covid,” Greene wrote. “We are moving into the third year AC.”

Rep. Greene is one of the most popular Republican members of Congress on social media, with hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple platforms. Prior to her ban from Twitter, she had nearly half a million followers on the platform, one of the largest of any Republican representative.

Facebook has joined Twitter in censoring me.

This is beyond censorship of speech.

I’m an elected Member of Congress representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens and I represent their voices, values, defend their freedoms, and protect the Constitution.

But apparently they too think the CDC managed #VAERS system on our own government websites are misinformation.

And to date there has been ZERO investigation into reported Covid deaths from government mandated #covid vaccines.

Who appointed Twitter and Facebook to be the authorities of information and misinformation?

When Big Tech decides what political speech of elected Members is accepted and what’s not then they are working against our government and against the interest of our people.

These tech giants must pay for what they are doing. It must happen.

MTG represents a lot more than just the voters in her district. I wish every Republican could be as bold and on point.

Easy for you to say if you don’t have to use it for business or to run for office.

Get a clue, it’s not as simple as saying just move on.

This seems indicative of anti-trust behavior.

Gab is good. Telegram is getting so popular that the Germans want to ban it.

Seems to me this must cost these bastards some members - people following those who are cancelled will get pissed and move out and go to GETTR or whatever (at least they ought to).

Personally I’m waiting for DJT’s site Truth. I hope all the people I like to read end up there.

If I didn’t know better, I would say Facebook and Twitter were engaging in collusion.

"anyone still using facebook, twitter, instagram or google deserve what they get."

This. Sadly, this includes many conservatives. Some of them will say it's the only way to get their message across. But if that message is being censored, scrubbed, or outright deleted, then it's a waste of time.
