An article on Facebook v Leo Igwe:

Earlier last week, Meta Platforms—the US-based technology conglomerate that owns Facebook—disabled Nigeria’s human rights-and-rationalism activist Leo Igwe’s Facebook account, he told Thoughtfox on January 12, Sunday, via a separate messenger system.

To his surprise, Igwe—the Nigeria-based social and educational reformer and prominent crusader against Africa’s self-styled witch hunters—had encountered a notice on his Facebook account informing him that his account had not been conforming with the platform’s ‘Community Standards’. Via Facebook’s appeal system, Igwe requested the company to reconsider its decision. His appeal was denied, prompting him to escalate it to the system’s last stage.

However, Igwe’s efforts went in vain when on January 12, he was given what reads like the final verdict by Meta Platforms on his appeals. The verdict, whose screenshot was shared by Igwe with Thoughtfox (and is posted below), states that his account had continued not to follow Meta’s ‘Community Standards on fraud and deception.’ Perhaps more important, the verdict adds the following: ‘You cannot request another review of this decision.’

Thus affirming that Facebook is a fan of literal witch-hunting and witch-torturing and witch-burning to death. However deep in bed with Trump Zuckerberg is, I really can’t see how being pro-witch hunting is an extra attraction. Trump is too busy robbing us blind to bother himself with witch-hunters or critics of witch-hunters.

Igwe is now considering his legal options within Nigeria, given that Meta Platforms has an office in Lagos. Igwe’s supporters are also planning to initiate an online campaign to press Meta Platforms to revoke its decision to disable his Facebook account, which is critical to his activist campaigns against coercive, violent witch hunters and irrationalists. When, and if, such a campaign has started, its link would be added to this report.

Send me in, Coach.
