Here’s but a few sample headlines from the last few days:
Newsmax: Twitter Suspends mRNA Vaccine Pioneer, Mandate Critic.
NewsBusters: Facebook and Instagram Censor Founding Father Thomas Paine
NewsBusters: SHUT HIM UP! Twitter Suspended Just The News Founder John Solomon for Doing Journalism.
Go back a few days and months beyond that and one finds:
The Federalist: Facebook Censors Article About Dangers Of COVID Censorship.
New York Post: Facebook trying to censor posts from COVID-19 vaccine skeptics: report.
Then there was this headline from the National File in August: Facebook Censors Gold Star Mother Of Fallen Marine Kareem Nikoui.
That story reported this:
Shana Chappell, the mother of fallen U.S. Marine Kareem Nikoui, had both her Facebook and Instagram accounts censored after posts that were critical of Biden. Nikoui, 20, was one of the 13 U.S. Marines killed in the Kabul suicide bombing.
“After I lay my son to rest you will be seeing me again!” Chappell said in a post in which Biden was tagged.
“Remember I am the one who stood five inches from your face and was letting you know I would never get to hug my son again, hear his laugh and then you tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story,” she continued. “You are no leader of any kind! You are a weak human being and a traitor,” Chappell later said in the lengthy post.
In a follow-up post, the grieving mother revealed that Instagram had censored her post. Her posts were also censored by Facebook, which owns Instagram. “As soon as I posted about what happened to my son Instagram started pulling up my posts from months ago and sending me notifications that if I kept posting stuff like this that they would disable my account,” said Chappell. “Posts from months ago!”
There is no new “news” here other than the adding of this week’s targeting of vaccine pioneer Dr. Robert Malone, Founding Father Thomas Paine, and investigative journalist John Solomon to an increasingly very, very long list of censorship targets.
