The following is a news analysis.
Facebook’s fake fact checkers, working on behalf of various money interests, have long been known to ignore blatant false information when it’s put out by favored government, public health officials or other special interests as long as it’s on-the-narrative.
And they censor factual information.
It’s a dynamic that might even make George Orwell shake his head and say, “Even I never predicted it would be this blatant, and allowed to continue.”
Now, a new tale under the category of “You can’t make this stuff up.”
Facebook banned a post I made that was nothing more than a factual citation of a historical quote from Hitler’s propagandist, Goebbels.
It was posted entirely without comment. But a fair read of it would be to infer how dangerous and powerful false propaganda can be.
How that becomes worthy of censorship can only be explained in today’s highly-managed information landscape where facts are not to be heard and read if the chosen minders don’t want people to know them and share them.
The first ban of the information came with me getting knocked off of Facebook for three days.
When I posted a followup, factually explaining what happened, that got a seven day ban.
I may not be long for Facebook at all.
Not that it’s necessarily a great loss. For some years, the platform has down throttled my reach. Why do I stay? Maintly because there are still some people who see my posts and like getting updated on my news program and article.
But if I keep posting factual information, I may not be there much longer.
Here’s a screenshot of what I had posted. Please share widely. The best way to defeat this propaganda is to make it have the opposite impact. That which they want to censor should be read and shared.
