Facebook Blacklists Left-Wing Site that Praised Purge of Infowars

Breitbart: Left-wing alternative media outlet Reverb Press was blacklisted from Facebook and Twitter last week, just months after celebrating Infowars’ mass purge from the same platforms. Reverb Press now complains, “It’s absurd that Facebook thinks it can define what is ‘legitimate’ news.”

In August and September, Reverb Press published three articles celebrating Infowars’ ban from most social networks and Big Tech services, including, “YouTube Finally Flushed Alex Jones for Hate Speech and The Tinfoil Hat Brigade is Melting Down,” and “Alex Jones is Finished on Facebook and the Internet is Rejoicing.”

In these articles, writers for Reverb Press made statements like, “Conspiracy creep finally got what he deserved,” and referred to his “danger as a propagandist.”

Now, Reverb Press has also been banned from Facebook and Twitter.

Reverb Press was just one of the hundreds of pages, which included independent news outlets, banned from Facebook and Twitter this month, such as the news page of a disabled veteran who had invested more than $300,000 in Facebook advertising.

Following the purge, former Reverb Press World Affairs Editor, Marc Belisle, complained in an article for BuzzFeed News that “It’s absurd that Facebook thinks it can define what is ‘legitimate’ news.”  more here
