"They are literally censoring the truth" Far from it. The Jewish people don't control "the media" or facebook, there may be a person that happen to be Jewish that have a role or a job somewhere. Mentioning the "Jewish people" in this context does not make any sense beyond perpetuating stereotypes and the fact that you don't even seem to understand this makes Facebook's decision even more obvious.

Weird, because considering that wildly disproportionate numbers of fb executives are Jewish, your point seems extremely manipulative, abusive, and gaslighting. So you are saying that reality is lying to us and you are telling the truth? Funny enough is that the very term "stereotype" was invented by a Jewish person as a trigger word to gaslight in the very same way. The very word "stereotype" is an abusive gaslighting ... "don't trust reality, believe what I am telling you".

  Great. I learned that the modern usage of the word 'stereotype' was coined in 1922 by Walter Lippmann, a German of Jewish descent [1]. I do not find this reference 'Funny', but IMO the fact that you do demonstrates your bias. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype#Etymology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype#Etymology

  No. 'extremely manipulative, abusive, and gaslighting" would be, for example: To suggest that a disproportionate number of executives at CNN have German descent (just to be clear, I have no idea what is the descent of executives in FB or CNN, nor do I care). So talking about the German-controlled CNN is just an important relevant fact for every discussion. Now, every time don't like an article I can just reference this "fact" that CNN are controlled by the people that also tried to commit a genocide and if someone argues, I'll just gaslight about gaslight.

No, not far from it. The statement "Jewish people control the media" might no be 100% true but it is in part. They represent a tiny percent of the population and control a big chunk of the media. But I'd like to go a bit further. Let's imagine than 10 years from now all media is under their control. Would we be able to mention it or we should be censored because it's a stereotype? This is an extreme example but it shows how stupid is censorship. What about new stereotypes? Do we need a ministry of stereotypes to tell us which speech is allowed and which one is not? We're supposed to have free speech and to be critical with everything. Every time in history when we went down this path of censorship we ended up worse. And every time the censors did it because they thought they were right and had a moral obligation to do it.

  you said: "No, not far from it. The statement <statement> might no be 100% true but it is in part." Replace <statement> with: "German are Nazis" "Arabs f#@3 goats" "Blacks are stupid" ... Those are terrible things to say, your statement is no different. It is ignorant. It is a generalization. It is irrelevant. It is a stereotype. Moreover, it effectively played a key part in getting MILLIONS killed over the years. I find it alarming that people are still debating whether this is a legitimate thing to say.

    More alarming than having someone to tell you what you can say and what you cannot say? If you find more alarming a stereotype than censorship, you have a real problem. Actually we all have a problem. If you're that worried about stereotypes, you should know that censoring them makes them true in the eyes of the people. Or do you think that people who are stupid enough to hate other because some stereotypes will change their minds once they see they can no longer talk about it?

      Yes, I believe racism and antisemitism should be activly removed from legal platforms. I agree that there are unfortunately stupid people that this will make them strengthen their misconceptions. But IMO there are more stupid people who are going find legitimacy in reading such views in FB and mainstream media and that such legitimacy always translates to physical violence.
