Facebook Censors Story About ‘Refugee’ Raping Swedish Woman
Facebook has
sensationally banned a story about a ‘refugee’ raping a Swedish woman in
line with the company’s new policy to censor anti-migrant posts deemed
to be “xenophobic”.
The Infowars story,
which explained how a north African migrant who participated in the
gang rape of a woman in Stockholm got off without charge, was posted on
Facebook yesterday but disappeared from the website within hours.
A query of the URL on Facebook’s ‘Debugger’ website reveals that, “this link is blocked.” Any attempt to post the link on Facebook results in failure.
Apparently, Facebook feels it is more important to control the narrative on the migrant crisis than to defend rape victims.
The company’s policy was leaked during a conversation between
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
earlier this year which was caught on a hot mic. Zuckerberg promised
Merkel that he was working on censoring anti-migrant posts.
It subsequently emerged that the German government and Facebook were working with ex-Stasi agent Anetta Kahane to
identify “xenophobic” posts made on the social networking website and
punish people who make them with fines and jail sentences.
As we highlighted back in January,
Facebook’s new censorship policy also allows users to flag content
which “annoys” them or which they deem to be offensive. This allows
large mobs of agenda-driven social justice warriors to mass flag posts
for deletion.
The new policy was
justified by Facebook’s need to eliminate “fake news,” but the same
excuse doesn’t apply in this case. The story about the refugee gang rape
of the Swedish woman was featured in numerous different mainstream news
outlets, including The Local and FriaTider.
Facebook
has previously censored political content on numerous occasions. Back
in May, the winner of the Muhammad art contest in Garland, Texas that
was attacked by gun-wielding jihadists was banned by Facebook, before his account was restored after vociferous complaints.
The Alex Jones Facebook account was also temporarily suspended over an image of an ISIS militant that couldn’t even be considered offensive by any stretch of the imagination.
As the Gatestone Institute highlights, Facebook is censoring a rape epidemic in Germany that has led citizens to obtain firearms and pepper spray in their droves.
German police are also deliberately censoring information about migrants committing rapes and other crimes so as not to “legitimize” critics of mass immigration.
