Facebook will remove some posts organizing anti-stay-at-home protests being organized in California, New Jersey, and Nebraska after consulting with officials in those states, a company spokesperson told CNN Monday.
The protests run afoul of the states’ social distancing guidelines, Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said.
It was only yesterday that Facebook said, “you don’t want tech companies determining the truth in politics.” Now they are saying they are censoring government protests on the order of governments.
This is the banning of free speech. It would never be approved at the Supreme Court level.
Full story from @donie: “Unless government prohibits the event during this time, we allow it to be organized on Facebook,” @andymstone said. “For this same reason, events that defy government’s guidance on social distancing aren’t allowed on Facebook.” https://t.co/0Ni4pKxx0A

Hitlerian Whitmer is also clueless:

Levin takes it on:
We Have a Right to Peacefully Protest
It’s outrageous that the free press would side with a government that consistently oversteps its bounds.
