Clown World: Facebook Rolls Out Mass Censorship

PC does not mean “Politically Correct.“

PC means “Pro-Communist.“

CNN:

“New York (CNN Business)Facebook announced Thursday afternoon that it had designated some high-profile people, including Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who’s notorious for using anti-Semitic language, and right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, as “dangerous” and said it will be purging them from its platforms.

Jones and his media outlet InfoWars had previously been banned from Facebook (FB) in in August 2018, but had maintained a presence on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. On Thursday, Jones and InfoWars will be barred from Instagram as well.

Other people banned Thursday include fringe right-wing media personalities Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos and Paul Joseph Watson. Also included are Paul Nehlen, an anti-Semite who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2016 and 2018. …”

I don’t even really use Facebook anyway because it sucks and it seems like 90% of internet drama is started there. I also hate the clunky interface and can’t even be bothered to post my own content on the Facebook page. Perhaps I am just not as disciplined about that as PJW though.

As for this latest purge, it is just the latest proof that political correctness is an evil and divisive ideology which pits groups against each other, suffocates our traditions like free speech and individual liberty, intensifies animosity by making issues like race and immigration toxic and banning disagreement in the public square and that it is unsustainable in the long run and that all of this censorship over the past three years is going to come back to wallop Big Tech.
