Facebook purges left-wing pages and individuals

Can we get a 2 minute hate pile on, about how these damned wobblies are anarchists or whatever and their very words are too dangerous for civil society? Ain't that how this goes?

Back to the click farm mortgage slaves! Leave the politics to your betters.

Yet more pages somehow 'mistakenly' [0] shutdown and de-platformed by Facebook because they simply can and they are a private platform. In this case, they can do just that. Mistake or not. Reason or no reason. They completely own it.

> None of the individuals whose accounts were disabled had violated Facebook’s policies.

Exactly. That's the problem. They don't have to explain themselves. Even if they get their accounts back, Facebook can do it again and again whenever they like.

'Don't like it? Build your own platform' they said. Some already have.
