I have been suspended for the second time in a week for posting information toTruther groups that I post to regularly. My articles are well cited and go against the official narrative.
FaceBook is a social media platform designed to bring people together who have common interests. However, if your interests include talking about current events in a way that doesn't follow the official narrative, your account will be suspended.
In a world where every nation and government is becoming a police state, control of information is paramount. There can be only one narrative... that is the narrative being portrayed by the State. The State narrows the available narratives by eliminating the ones that conflict with their own.
In a democracy censorship does not exist and when it rears its ugly head, it is slain. In a democracy private institutions fight government imposed censorship even it comes in the guise of an opportunity to "self-censor" before the government does it for you. FaceBook is on the frontline of the battle for Free Speech and they have surrendered.
They will not be the last. Particularly if all the other venues of free speech give up as well. We can only hope there are some CEO's left that are willing to do the hard work of defending the democracy that is (was) America.
