It's government instructing Facebook to remove pages. This only provides a few examples, and someone else in this very thread said they took down legit pages of legitimate people they know and follow, presumably also at the FBI's request. Is this not government censorship?
Does the FBI get to start taking down legitimate left wing organizing as they've done in the past with cointelpro?
- tzs 8y agoAccording to the FB article, they took down the pages because the pages violated FB policy. The FBI's involvement was merely to call FB's attention to the existence of the pages. From the article, it seems that FB takes down such pages regardless of who happens to call their attention to them.
