Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that posts and pages attempting to organize protests against stay-at-home orders will be banned as “misinformation.”
The Facebook CEO confirmed that the posts would be banned to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on a segment of Good Morning America.
Stephanopoulos asked Zuckerberg how the company deals “with the fact that Facebook is now being used to organize a lot of these protests to defy social distancing guidelines in states. If somebody trying to organize something like that, does that qualify as harmful misinformation?”
“We do classify that as harmful misinformation and we take that down,” confirmed Zuckerberg, while at the same time saying that it’s important “that people can debate policies.”
A Facebook spokesman confirmed to CNN that planned protests in California, New Jersey, and Nebraska were having their pages removed from Facebook at the request of state authorities.

I see the radical left are now in full motion to do their coup and create a communist country.
While FB participation isnt....the states request to infringe IS.
Wasn’t it NPR that said they wouldn’t be airing Donald Trump’s CV19 press conferences because they were sources of disinformation?
Or was it just an “affiliate” that made that decision?
It’s not far to “leapfrog” to the conclusion that FB events for trump rallies are prohibited because they are “disinformation”.

The man cannot be trusted. You are not going to recognize this country in a year.
do you recognize it now?
They need to start an antitrust investigation against Big Tech ASAP. Right now the laws are in their favor but that needs to be changed because they are abusing it terribly.
DOJ is full of Trump hating fascist Democrats. No chance of that happening.
I don’t think you understand how this works. Facebook could have (and should have) told the local authorities to pound sand. This decision is on Facebook and Facebook alone.
I do suspect that Facebook, Twitter and the like will ban Donald Trump, the GOP, and conservatives as we lead up to the election to prevent us from getting our message out. We should have backup methods to bypass this.
I also sent my message. Thank you.
Paul Revere, your account has been suspended for violations of our policies against "misinformation"
I banned Facebook a couple of years ago. My life has suffered no ill effects at all.
Y’all should try it. It’s easy and it works.
Unfortunately, this is probably already happening, but in a more nuanced way. They are probably filtering a lot of things so that conservative points of view are harder to find.
Jawohl, Herr Obergruppenfuhrer Zuckerberg!
Unfortunately there aren’t too many better ways to reach out to a lot of people quickly.

Sounds like Facebook is violating the 1st Amendment. Sue the bastards.
