The community standard that shields Nazis
Our Facebook overlords are helping the Nazis win.
Jim Wright tells us he’s been locked out of his Facebook account, while Nazis frolic happily all over the place.
I’ve been banned from Facebook.
My account has been suspended supposedly for violation of community standards.
My profile is still active, you can still access the page and comment on posts that haven’t been deleted by Facebook. But I myself am locked out. I can’t post, comment, or access the Facebook messenger system.
The community standard I violated is apparently the one where you’re not allowed to criticize actual, no fooling, Nazis.
Yes, actual Nazis.
That’s right, I was banned for criticizing an actual Nazi.
The Nazis who got him banned did it by flagging his post as spam.
So Facebook removed the post and then banned me from the platform for the next 24 hours.
The people who do this sort of thing, do so specifically in order to silence people they don’t like, not because they are actually offended. This is targeted harassment specifically designed to suppress people like me.
In my case, I’ve been targeted by certain rabidly obnoxious members of the Science Fiction community and more recently by actual neo-Nazis and Trump supporters. These people spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over my Facebook page and scheming to find ways to have me shut down.
It’s Trump’s world and we’re just unwelcome immigrants.
It works for the Islamists; I’m not surprised it works for the racist scumbags.
