Facebook said putting him back on his social media pages will incite more violence. |

Washed Up 45 will have a wait before he can return back to Facebook and Instagram. The Facebook Oversight Board officially upheld the ban on the former president after he incited a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol in January. It's an independent panel of individuals who decide on whether content should be allowed or denied on the platform.
The far-right has called the panel a bunch of leftists. Bet they won't say that to their faces. Matter of fact, they're lucky they can post their inflammatory rhetoric on Facebook, Twitter and Google. If I was them, I just start permanently blocking them citing misinformation and potential violence.
The board also condemned Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for taking swift actions before they had an opportunity to look over the matter.
The former president slammed the decision. He called it a "total disgrace" and said that big tech will pay a "political price" for taking away his freedom of speech. His freedom of speech isn't silence. Facebook is a private company that has the right to regulate content. His content about the election and his offensive remarks went over the line.

Ahead of our announcement on the Trump suspension case, a reminder of how the Oversight Board makes decisions: pic.twitter.com/ytSGPOCEp7

The Board has upheld Facebook’s decision on January 7 to suspend then-President Trump from Facebook and Instagram. Trump’s posts during the Capitol riot severely violated Facebook’s rules and encouraged and legitimized violence. https://t.co/veRvWpeyCi

The Board also found Facebook violated its own rules by imposing a suspension that was ‘indefinite.’ This penalty is not described in Facebook’s content policies. It has no clear criteria and gives Facebook total discretion on when to impose or lift it.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
Within 6 months of today, Facebook must review this matter and decide a new penalty that reflects its rules, the severity of the violation, and prospect of future harm. Facebook can either impose a time-limited suspension or account deletion.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
Facebook cannot make up the rules as it goes, and anyone concerned about its power should be concerned about allowing this. Having clear rules that apply to all users and Facebook is essential for ensuring the company treats users fairly. This is what the Board stands for.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
We call on Facebook to ensure that if a head of state or high government official repeatedly posts messages that pose a risk of harm under international human rights norms, the company should either suspend the account for a set period or delete it.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
If Facebook opts for a suspension for a set period of time for influential users, the company should assess the risk of the user inciting significant harm before the suspension ends. If the risk remains, Facebook should impose another suspension.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
The ‘newsworthiness’ of a public figure’s remarks should never take priority over urgent action to prevent harm. Facebook must be far more transparent about how its newsworthiness policy works.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
Restrictions on speech are often imposed by powerful state actors against dissidents and political oppositions. Facebook must resist pressure from governments to silence political opposition, and stand up for free expression.
— Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) May 5, 2021
Finally, we urged Facebook to conduct a review into its contribution to the narrative of electoral fraud and political tensions that led to the events of January 6. This should look at Facebook’s design and policy choices that may allow its platform to be abused.

Because he was the motherfucking "President of the United States" his tweets and posts are newsworthy. He had over 90 million followers on Twitter and 32 million followers on Facebook.
Whatever he posted was on government time and was recorded for the National Archives. His personal tweets and government tweets will be historical record.
Hold up, wait a minute....isn't he a fucking billionaire? Can't he just create his own fucking platform and web service?
Since his departure from the White House, Washed Up 45 has spent most of his time at Mar-a-Largo and parts of Florida. He also has spent most of his time with white nationalists planning a "major comeback" in the Midterms. He has hinted that he may run in 2024.
His complaints aren't going to faze Google, Twitter and Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg had personally told Facebook staff to block the former president. |
The permanent ban will stay put and it will greatly dent Washed Up 45's ability to reach out to voters.
He rants in an email. "What Facebook, Twitter and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country."
"Free Speech has been taken way from the [former] President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than before."
He added, "The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral process."
Cry more!
The last posting Washed Up 45 posted was on the day of the violent attack. Since the posting, Facebook had locked his account and placed an indefinite suspension on his social media page.
The Republicans have threatened to impose regulations on Facebook. The very same folks who complain about "cancel culture" are trying to cancel Facebook. They very same folks who believe in the power of corporations now want a corporation to lose its power.
The white nationalists in the Republican Party are pushing further towards fascism. They are feuding with one another over the way to push a message. They along with two white nationalist Democrats are trying to gridlock Congress. They are still promoting the "big lie" by pushing voter restrictions and partisan gerrymandering. They are still trying to get into your personal freedoms by banning "critical race theory," transgender women and girls from playing women's sports and trying to push bans on abortion and mandatory work for safety net laws.
These clowns have no shame and they're tittering us towards a civil war.
I mean I have never been this angry with Republicans. They have went from zero to hundred in the four years of this arrogant washed up former reality television star turned washed up politician.
Instead of moving on and trying to win back moderates and independents who voted for Republicans in the past, they're continuing to appeal to the white nationalists and enablers of hate.
It was not an easy decision to ban a world leader. I mean if he would tell the fucking truth, stop promoting conspiracy theories, stop attacking Americans and stop promoting hate, he would be back on social media. But his latest follie will not help his case in getting his accounts reinstated.
And no, he can't sue to get his accounts back. He violated their terms of service, they have the right to terminate services if you're not compliant.
I hope that Facebook, Twitter, Google and TikTok start permanently banning Candace Owens, Colin Flaherty, Ann Coulter, Terrence K. Williams, David Clarke, Jr., Tucker Carlson, Ryan Knight, Tara Reade, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Mark Levin, Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy, Laura Ingraham,Tomi Lahren, Lauren Southern, Rudy Giuliani, Michelle Malkin, Nick Fauntes, Richard Spencer, Andy Ngo, Rose McGowan, Shaun King, Nicholas Cruse, Niggermania, Chimpmania, Stormfront, Breitbart and numerous extremists from their platforms.
Years ago, I posted my thoughts on Facebook. It my honest take on the social media platform.
