Facebook is going all-in on their censorship campaign ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration in 8 days. The social media giant has now banned the phrase “stop the steal” from their platform.
Any content with the blacklisted phrase is being removed from Facebook and Instagram, under the Coordinating Harm policy, the company announced on Monday evening. The vice president for Integrity Guy Rosen and vice president for Global Policy Management Monika Bickert claimed that the phrase was used “by those involved in Wednesday’s violence in DC” and cited “continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence,” according to reports by RT. “We’re taking additional steps and using the same teams and technologies we used during the general election to stop misinformation and content that could incite further violence during these next few weeks,” Rosen and Bickert wrote.
In addition to the “indefinite suspension” of President Trump’s account announced on Thursday, Facebook is keeping the temporary ban on all US political advertising and “connecting people with reliable information and high-quality news about the inauguration and the transition process.”
“After the inauguration, our label on posts that attempt to delegitimize the election results will reflect that Joe Biden is the sitting president,” wrote Bickert and Rosen. –RT
For months, social media giants have labeled any post challenging the validity of the 2020 presidential election as“disputed” or challenged by their coterie of fact-checkers. This includes posts by Donald Trump that were alleging voter irregularities. Last Wednesday’s unrest at the Capitol provided Big Tech with a pretext to censor and purge accounts outright, including those of the president himself.
The outright deletion of content before Biden is even inaugurated is an escalation from Facebook’s actions prior to the election, when they “shadowbanned” all mention of a New York Poststory about Biden’s son Hunter and the incriminating emails found on a laptop recovered from a Delaware repair shop. Twitter had locked the Post’s account, but it later emerged that Facebook’s soft censorship turned out to be far more effective. –RT
The clampdown on free speech is here. Once that begins, history has proven that it doesn’t end well.

Funny how Facebook has a vice president for integrity and yet the company itself has nothing of the kind ???
I hate to say im not so sure your last comment will be true. “The clampdown on free speech is here. Once that begins, history has proven that it doesn’t end well”.I have watch such fickle bs coming from so called conservatives.and i mean the American people. Ive watched The Americans give the schools, their kids with no over-site. I saw the Georgia Election get given to the left over anger at 600 dollars. WTF will you do when nothing comes your way. Were all going to eat sht with the chickens here soon. The Gop stayed home again. I saw the Gop unhappy with Romney (Duck in disguise) But he was all we had at least a demi Repub, and the Independents and Gop stayed home giving us Obama again. Our Wifi took the high ground and is going to block Fb and other Anti free speech sites, we were given the choice to keep or block Well i dont need messenger, i have a phone like old days. Im a 64 year old widow of two years. My husband and I saw this coming a long time ago. We watched our friends and family members use SSI as the new welfare. We watched private businesses be forced to stop smoking in their places due to some whiner like the Gay couple did to the cake company. Did we go and defend them by lighting up and taking the ticket? Nope We just complained how we were loosing our so called “Rights” Sorry folks im sickened by this all, We are the cause of the situation right now. We did not take our crys for term limits serious and stop voting for the idiots that now have control of all our lives. We are now afraid of the government , the police and any civil servants in office. How long has old Nancy been in office or McConnel, etc….??? Old Teddy was 50 years lol Guaranteed we are screwed and the new change will more than likely be a very nasty depression as we will be locked down, conservative states better buckle up because food supplys may not make it to our states as punishment for Our support of Trump. Covid will be the excuse. Stalin had more kills than Hitler going that route. God i pray this may be wrong, but they took control with nary a shot.
We’d all be better off if we kept the phrase “Stop The Steal” and banned Facebook instead.?
