Facebook Censors U.S. Trucker Convoy GroupAlana Mastrangelo3 Feb 202220
Facebook has censored a group of American truckers who are following the lead of their Canadian counterparts by organizing a protest against vaccine mandates.
The group, titled “Convoy to D.C. 2022,” was a place where truckers met online to plan and coordinate their convoy from California to Washington D.C., according to a report by Fox News. The group follows in the wake of Canadian truckers’ “Freedom Convoy.” The Canadian movement has faced financial blacklisting by another Silicon Valley company, GoFundMe.
A spokesperson for Facebook (now Meta) told Breitbart News, “We have removed this group for repeatedly violating our policies around QAnon.”
Brian Brase, the co-organizer of Convoy to D.C. 2022, disputes the way Facebook describes the group, telling Fox & Friends, “I have to laugh about that — can they contact me or something? Can we talk? Because that’s not true.”
“They actually had offered the administrators to remove content, and then request to review again,” he added. “They didn’t even give that option.”
Meanwhile, Jeremy Johnson, who set up the group, said that his personal Facebook account was also removed.
