Another day and more Trump supporters are being banned from the internet. When will trump supporters learn they're not above terms of service?

Trump supporters cry as Facebook bans racist white nationalism accounts in Canada

Last week, Facebook announced it would ban white nationalism and separatism content, in addition to the white supremacy content it already prohibits. Today, we're getting a sense of which accounts that might include. According to BuzzFeed News, Facebook will ban groups, Pages and Instagram accounts associated with Faith Goldy, the Canadian Nationalist Front, Soldiers of Odin, Wolves of Odin, Kevin Goudreau and the Aryan Strikeforce.

Each of the individuals and organizations have expressed white nationalist sentiments, which as BuzzFeed points out, violate Facebook's policy on dangerous individuals and organizations. These groups have elicited the most public outcry, but Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, told BuzzFeed, they're just the tip of the iceberg, and there are multiple other groups Balgord believes are violating Facebook's policies.

Of course, this follows on the heels of Australia's new laws that hold social media companies responsible for any violent or inciting content they host. The UK is looking to take a similar approach, and hate-sweeping bans like this one might soon become a regular occurrence.

It's not "brown pride, fuck everybody else"

When y'all learn that, y'all might be accepted. Until then, 2040's are coming along nicely.

Uh-oh.

I better be careful with my ancestral/genealogy photo posts containing United Empire Loyalist historical content.

That's predominantly white colonialist history...could be misconstrued and interpreted by Zuck as white nationalist sentiment.

Do you honestly think whites are going to lose any power because they don't fuck as much as black or brown people? Just because whites could possibly get rendered a minority status doesn't mean they will be displaced as the ruling class. High numbers do not = ruling class. Especially when you take into account IQ and all that racist evil stuff. You do know insects out number us 10 million to 1...doesn't make them the ruling class. You guys should actually scale back your breeding since you've systematically destroyed every place you guys inhabit.

That's potentially a slippery slope with potential for a wide latitude of interpretation that could come back and bite Fbook in the ass somewhere down the road.

I found that extremely odd as well.

We're following in China's footsteps who initially used corporations to infringe on people's privacy and Free speech.

We're about 10 to 20 years behind China before we can't talk bad about the government online etc.

Precisely.

Can they really ban anything. Recent moves by the British government would prove Facebook and other social media giants are unable to police their networks. UK to introduce world first online safety laws.

Of course we know this is bullshit as anyone who has posted porn on FB will testify to how fast it comes down.

So is it just FB censoring what we read? We know offline media has done it for years or rather decades?

Trumpers don't like freedom for anyone but themselves. They want the freedom to hate, but don't want the platforms they spread their hate on to have the freedom to not have any parts of that.

do you call it censorship when they don´t print the lies ?

freedom of speech does not include lies for my understanding (except in US)

the western civilsation is based on a very broad range of different opinions. broad but not infinitely broad. because if you want to have them infinitely broad then you have to accept islamist terrorist sites and bomb building instructions.

onethinklo or matt brainbonsai i.e would be in nearly every european country already in jail for many of the things they write here. and I think, with good reason.

with morality there is also a need for some standard that does not extend infinitely to the left or right because if not, the moral would not make sense at all.

I can be watching a random comedy video on YouTube and look in the comments and see a Trump troll trying to bring in politics & inject hate.

They're very flawed bitter people who get off being acknowledged by normal functioning people. They thrive on negative responses because they feel like they're really bringing someone of value down to their level. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

Lies should always be deleted what ever side they come from. But you missed my main point that FB is capable of regulating their platform and they choose to do it very selectively.

I am pretty sure that every big company will do it selectively within the spectrum of the majority. and there is nothing wrong because as long as we do have values that are representing the majority we should fight for them and not give every idiot a stage to spread lies and hate.
