Facebook banned InfoWars from its platform, yet many leftist pages
with far worse content still remain.
Facebook’s explanation for the InfoWars ban claims that the site
posts material which “glorifies violence,” and also uses
“dehumanizing language.”

language” and “glorifying violence” not “false news”

But the social media Masters of the Universe have made no attempt to
explain why InfoWars should be banned while leftist pages with a far
more explicit glorification of violence, not to mention using
“dehumanizing” language towards Jews, Christians, and Americans in
general, should remain and even prosper on the platform.
Among them, a page called “Kill Trump,” and dozens of global pages
for the registered domestic terrorist group Antifa, which have made
unchallenged posts supporting violence.
“It’s Going Down” is one such prominent Antifa page. Beyond
featuring violent imagery of President Donald Trump being attacked,
it includes training and information on attacking critical
infrastructure targets. “It’s Going Down” seems to be lower on
Facebook’s list of “glorying violence” than InfoWars.
Infowars was banned from Facebook but this Antifa
organizing site that offers recruiting materials
that depict Trump supporters being bayoneted, and
provided instructions on how to sabotage critical
transportation and communication infrastructure,
is still active. Weird, right?

Infamous anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan also
remains on the platform, with nearly one million likes, while The
Young Turks, a progressive news outlet, remains despite its founder
Cenk Uygur’s denial of the Armenian Holocaust.
The New Black Panther Party, a black supremacist organization, which
according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has “encouraged
violence against whites, Jews, and law enforcement officers,” also
has several pages on the social network.
Other pages allowed on the platform include: “Fuck White America,”
“Fuck the south,” and “Islam Will Rule the World.”
It does not even require fresh transparency of Facebook’s murky
rules around “hate speech,” “glorifying violence,” and “dehumanizing
language,” to recognize that if InfoWars does not belong on
Facebook, neither do these pages. By Facebook’s own treatment of
InfoWars, one could make a reasonable argument that New York Times
anti-white bigot Sarah Jeong, who refers to white people as
“goblins,” is a perfect example of leftists using “dehumanizing
language.”

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
