| So you may remember that on the 26th of February 2019 Tommy Robinson was banned from Facebook and Instagram. | |
| He lost around a million and a half followers, something like that, on both platforms combined. | |
| And now it appears that he is being completely scrubbed from the site. | |
| The reasons given by Facebook were given to the BBC and only to the BBC with no supporting evidence provided. | |
| Apparently Tommy had posted a post calling Muslims filthy scumbags, urging people to terrorise and behead those who follow the Quran and urging people to make war on Muslims. | |
| And multiple videos depicting individuals being bullied. | |
| Again, there was no supporting evidence presented and these things were supposed to have done in previous months. | |
| And given Tommy's high profile in Britain at the moment, it's very, very unlikely that these things would somehow have gone under the radar of the media. | |
| But anyway, radical leftist outfits like Hope Not Hate posted things like, Stephen Lennon is a far-right thug who uses a platform to bully, abuse and stir up division, monetising his hatred to earn huge sums while hiding behind a fake free speech mantle. | |
| Lennon has a long record of abuse towards minorities such as Muslims, so we welcome Facebook's continued actions in cleaning up their platform. | |
| And on the same day, BBC contributor Mohammed Shafiq said, I can reveal I recently had a meeting with Facebook to discuss Tommy Robinson pages and their impact in brainwashing his supporters to become terrorists and use violence against Muslims. | |
| A very good result and I'm proud of my role. | |
| This censorship had knock-on effects, with conservative commentator Raheem Kassan finding his account disabled because he was an administrator on Tommy Robinson's account. | |
| But Facebook did let him know that apparently this was an accidental banning. | |
| But as he says, if the page was being used to spread hate, why would they unban him? | |
| As him being an administrator on it would surely make him complicit. | |
| But thankfully this was undone when Donald Trump Jr. decided to tweet about himself because thank God someone is paying attention. | |
| I'm not sure who Danny Tomo is, but apparently he organises Tommy's events and he has recently had his Facebook account deactivated as well. | |
| But Facebook censorship of Tommy Robinson apparently doesn't stop there. | |
| It's not enough that Tommy himself and his administrators and organisers are removed from the platform. | |
| All references and videos of him apparently have to be removed as well. | |
| As Mr. Elder Brown discovered when he posted a video called The Real Tommy Robinson episode 1, which is a fairly low quality series of documentaries on Tommy's channel, apparently that went against community standards. | |
| Okay, maybe it did. | |
| But then it gets to people just discussing this. | |
| For example, this original post was proof that Facebook are only censoring our side when it comes to posts containing Tommy. | |
| My post asking why the left are allowed to post Tommy pictures has now been removed for going against community standards, yet the original posts by the left that it contains are still up. | |
| There has to be some legal grounds on this being wrong, surely. | |
| Well, I'm afraid not. | |
| I don't think there is any legal recourse that anyone has in this regard, but for some reason, Facebook just won't let you talk about Tommy. | |
| Post a meme with Tommy's face and the words, we're all Tommy Robinson now? | |
| Nope, that's gone too. | |
| Call Facebook fascist book? | |
| Hell no, that's definitely gone. | |
| Saying that we are all Stephen Lennon with a crowd of people wearing masks of Tommy Robinson. | |
| Nope, that's definitely not allowed. | |
| And posting a picture of yourself alongside Tommy Robinson after you met him? | |
| My god man, I can't believe that you still have an account left. | |
| Obviously that goes against the community standards. | |
| I mean don't post a picture of Tommy giving the finger and then say yo Zuckerberg swivel on this. | |
| My god you know that goes against the community standards don't you? | |
| This is the truth of what is happening to Tommy. | |
| A short video containing how the MSM lie continually to discredit him. | |
| Gone. | |
| Good God gone. | |
| We've got a narrative to maintain here. | |
| What are we even talking about this thought criminal on our platform for? | |
| Posting the address of Tommy Robinson's website tr.news is enough to go against the community standards apparently. | |
| Literally just posting tr.news was apparently against the community standards. | |
| So you can't even share things from him on Facebook. | |
| If that is not an unbelievably strict regime of censorship, I don't know what is. | |
| That is scorched earth on Tommy Robinson as an individual. | |
| You can't even talk about him on your platform. | |
| You can't be pictured with him. | |
| You can't post videos from him. | |
| And you can't even mention his website. | |
| That is staggering. | |
| The Chinese must be looking at the Facebook regime with envy. | |
| I mean, this is a pretty just a spectacular level of censorship that's being applied to Tommy Robinson. | |
| Like, I can use Facebook to look up Adolf Hitler's speeches, and that is not banned from Facebook. | |
| That, Facebook is just fine with. | |
| Leave it up for years. | |
| They're not going to take it down. | |
| Mention Tommy Robinson or his website, and that's it. | |
| Gone. | |
| Against the community standards. |
