[skews13]

Facebook announced Thursday that it has permanently banned a host of prominent figures it described as "dangerous" from its platform, including right-wing commentator and former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

The platform said it has determined that those figures are "dangerous," and removed them under their policy barring individuals and groups that promote hateful and violent messages.

The tech giant, which has been engaged in an escalating crackdown on hate speech and fear-mongering on its platforms, also removed neo-Nazi Paul Nehlen, who previously ran for the House in Wisconsin, far-right activist Laura Loomer and conservative YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson.

Or a dimocrap scumbag.

But I repeat myself.

Update: Bloomberg, The LA Times, and The Atlantic All Make the Same "Mistake"

Liberals love to ban. They have zero tolerance for non-libtard views.

Dangerous how? Did they provide a policy manual or definition of "dangerous figure"?

This is capitalism, plain and simple. It's good business to drop influences if it can negatively affect your bottom line. Conservatives should be celebrating this decision.

Carry on, dipshits.

I agree.

They should also NOT USE those platforms and start their own. Don't give them your business.

Facebook is a bottomless pit of lies and an enabler of bad ideologies, I do not think they can change this no matter what they do.

Facebook is a private corporation and may do as they please or do you think the govt. should tell them what they should and should not be doing?

The First Amendment doesn't apply to Facebook. You fucking wingers are dumb as dirt.

So how about if all platforms and forums ban any people whose ideas they don't like? I despise Farrakhan, but I have never heard him advocate violence. He has said some revolting things, but I haven't seen any quote of him expressly advocating violence.

Who gets to decide what is "provocative," "incendiary," "inflammatory," etc.? I say as long as someone does not clearly hint at wanting violence or advocate violence, they should get to speak.

I don't think he is saying that. He is just pointing out how the left sucks at competing with other ideas, so the try to silence them.

LOL, what a dumbass. So you support blocking all speech you don't like. The 1st amendment applies to all speech son, just because you want to hide behind a platform that is privately owned doesn't change the fact that someone's rights aren't being respected.

Why do Progs ALWAYS miss the point? Why would an enterprise choose to only block certain kinds of speech for no other reason than they don't like it??
