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.

Who elected Fakebook the arbiter of all www content?
As for control freak Karens a good round of tuff snarl facecrime and some loud flatulence or a fierce belch will shut them right up.
Keep it off my wave cancel culture shamers and worry about your own problems.
If you will notice or have, this shut down and social distancing regiment has unleashed the bullies on a massive scale. Tyrants of every stripe are bullying and badgering people their fellow citizens on an unprecedented scale. Invariably, they are mostly women. That is why it is so great that so many of the protesters women – hooyah to them! A big well done to all the anti-fascist protesters!
Bill Barr is worthless
Governor Whitless: WW2 was fought to defeat totalitarian control freaks like you.
And, of course, Bill Barr will do nothing. He could easily, with a letter, within 1 day, stop this, but he lacks the basic integrity or courage any decent leader would have.
