From VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow: "Facebook’s unelected multinational, multicultural, uniLeftist panel has just upheld its ban on Donald J. Trump, meaning that the 45th President of the U.S. is still unable to communicate with his 74,222,958 American voters [Facebook Ban On Donald Trump Will Hold, Social Media's Oversight Board Rules, by Shannon Bond, NPR, May 5, 2021].
This disgraceful situation, profoundly insulting to the U.S. as a sovereign democracy, has particular resonance for us here at VDARE.com. Just a year ago, our own Facebook page was deleted, completely without warning, on the false claim that we were engaged in what Facebook called "Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior" [PDF] a.k.a. we were running a “bot farm”—multiple automated sites designed to enhance traffic. This was a lie. We have now sued Facebook for defamation (HERE—we will be expanding this complaint later). I am honored to say that our suit exactly parallels the heroic Project Veritas’ recent defamation suit against Twitter, just as our federal defamation suit against the New York Times parallels Project Veritas’ (strikingly successful) suit in New York State court. Hopefully, it’s a trend.
I will now reveal why we delayed filing against Facebook for so long: for an all too human reason—my wife, the former Lydia Sullivan, now President of the VDARE Foundation and Publisher of VDARE.com, who first introduced me to Facebook when she was a student at Loyola University in Chicago, had used it, as an entire generation had been encouraged to do, as a personal record. Her school pictures, her graduation pictures, her wedding pictures, her honeymoon pictures, her baby pictures, baby vignettes and conversations with personal friends dating back to grade school, were all trustingly stored there.
Lydia never at any time posted any political content to her Facebook page.
Yet it was eliminated. Every photo, status update and interaction is now being held hostage—because of her association with me.
Facebook’s refusal to respond to a young mother’s anguished appeal strikes me as irrefutable proof that these people want us in Gulags.
Although Facebook claims it blocks VDARE.com for operating a bot farm, the fact that this is a lie is obvious because Facebook now also prevents readers who, subsequently and quite independently, have found articles on our website that they want to share with their Facebook friends, from doing so.
When they try, they now see this message:
Of course, this is clearly further defamation of VDARE.com and clear evidence of Facebook’s continuing malice.
These people just think they’re beyond the reach of law.
What’s going on here?
