Why the Coordinated Alternative Media Purge Should TERRIFY Everyone: Soon Those Who Hate Freedom Will Have Unquestioned Access to the Minds of 2 Billion People<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Yesterday, the alternative media purge was boldly advanced in a coordinated effort to silence people who dissent from establishment views. It\u2019s just one more step toward a monopoly on information by those who hate freedom. At this rate, they\u2019ll soon have unquestioned access to the minds of more than 2 billion people. <\/strong>And this should terrify everyone who wants to be free to question the status quo and to seek a wide range of information.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of alternative media site administrators logged onto Facebook to discover that their accounts had been removed. Soon after, many of these sites and their writers found that their Twitter accounts had also been suspended.<\/p>\n

Popular pages like The AntiMedia (2.1 million fans), The Free Thought Project (3.1 million fans), Press for Truth (350K fans),\u00a0\u00a0Police the Police (1.9 million fans), Cop Block (1.7 million fans), and Punk Rock Libertarians (125K fans) are just a few of the ones which were unpublished.<\/p>\n

Why were these alternative media accounts removed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason given doesn\u2019t really add up.<\/p>\n

Facebook told the LA Times that these pages had violated the company\u2019s spam policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re removing 559 Pages and 251 accounts that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior,\u201d the company said in a blog post. \u201cPeople will only share on Facebook if they feel safe and trust the connections they make here.\u201d (source<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But this isn\u2019t actually what their spam policy says. Here\u2019s the policy.<\/p>\n

We work hard to limit the spread of commercial spam to prevent false advertising, fraud, and security breaches, all of which detract from people\u2019s ability to share and connect. We do not allow people to use misleading or inaccurate information to collect likes, followers, or shares.<\/p>\n

Do Not:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
