Facebook Accused of Discriminating Against Black Trump Supporters

[Grokmaster]

A rich white man is trying to shut down the Facebook page of two VERY POPULAR black females, outrageously declaring their videos to be "unsafe to the community"...and not a PEEP OF OUTRAGE from the "always trying to be triggered" left? What gives???


Ohhh... "Diamond and Silk" are Trump supporters ,thereby losing their Official Leftist Black and Female Status, of course.


Facebook is ALREADY seeing major backlash over this outrage, and are trying to "backtrack" as quickly as possible. Doesn't matter now, because we ALL SEE THAT THEY ARE PARTISAN HACKS, trying to promote ONE worldview.




Facebook told two women their pro-Trump videos were ‘unsafe’



Two sisters famous for praising President Trump say Facebook has deemed their videos dangerous.

Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson are better known as “Diamond and Silk” to their hundreds of thousands of fans — one of whom is Trump. The sisters, who are black, campaigned for him in an election in which blacks overwhelmingly voted (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/) against the Republican. And the sisters continue to defend him against accusations of racism. (“Build that wall, build it tall, protect us all before this country falls,” they once rapped (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7OzIWONVyc))

The sisters’ on-camera style — Diamond (Hardaway) typically attacks Trump’s critics in long rants while Silk (Richardson) chants affirmatively beside her — has brought them nearly 1.4 million followers on Facebook.

But in September, the sisters say, the social media giant began to prevent them from notifying followers of new videos and started to limit the spread of their posts.It is unclear whether the pair was affected by Facebook’s various (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/06/news-feed-fyi-showing-more-informative-links-in-news-feed/) changes (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/08/news-feed-fyi-taking-action-against-video-clickbait/) to (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/08/news-feed-fyi-addressing-cloaking-so-people-see-more-authentic-posts/) its algorithm (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/01/news-feed-fyi-bringing-people-closer-together/), which have affected other publishers (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kathleenchaykowski/2018/03/06/facebooks-latest-algorithm-change-here-are-the-news-sites-that-stand-to-lose-the-most/#61e3647034ec), as well.


Diamond and Silk said they spent months trying to get an explanation from Facebook. Last week, they shared excerpts of an email that they said the company sent them on Thursday:

“The Policy team has came to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community,” it read. “This decision is final and it is not appeal-able in any way.”


Facebook has acknowledged sending the message, but it also said the missive was “inaccurate” — though it did not elaborate. When The Washington Post asked what “unsafe” meant and what content was problematic, spokeswoman Sarah Pollack replied with a company statement:

“We have communicated directly with Diamond And Silk about this issue. The message they received last week was inaccurate and not reflective of the way we communicate with our community and the people who run Pages on our platform. We have provided them with more information about our policies and the tools that are applicable to their Page and look forward to the opportunity to speak with them.”

See Facebook trying to do some "damage control"....

in other words, repression of Free Speech.......................

[Common]

There is discrimination everywhere against anything Trump related. Those that oppose trump believes this is ok. I hope down the road they continue to believe its ok for all they are doing today.

[Safety]

Let's see...

non-government company - check
- so there goes the "free speech" argument.

race card - check
- I see the mention of their skin color is fine (as in I don't see anyone hollering about the mention of it, like if a liberal mentions race), as long as it is in favor for whatever social cons are in favor for, which by the way is the only reason they care about these two women.

So, I say the only solution is what social cons like to say in other situations like this, boycott. So, I stand in favor of conservatives boycotting facebook. 100%, like starting today.

of course you do, sunshine

Anytime, I know it has to be hard for snowflakes to find their safespace. It turns out facebook isn't it, so keep looking.

The issue is discrimination against President Donald Trump supporters. Of course to the typical low intelligence liberal one can not discrimination against President Donald Trump because..................................

You'd be singing a different tune if the ladies were BLM leaders, having their content blocked by a "rich, white guy", for disagreeing with their politics....we see that you support the brownshirt tactics of Facebook. No surprise there.

Thanks :thumbsup:

They must feel the wrath at a BLM rally!

One of the grandest ironies of modern America is if these two talking heads were for Hillary or Obama they'd be called every name under the sun by the same right wing snowflakes who today pretend to love them. Groupthink has the ability to change reality for the groupies. Trump love is so nice. Meanwhile Trump averages two to three fabrications per tweet or comment. You go girls, they'll love you till you sing a honest song, then the dustbin of BS will embrace you.

"It’s easy to laugh, as some of us do, at the phrase “conservative intellectual.” When the most prominent public spokesmen for the right’s ideas include Milo Yiannopoulos, Charles Murray, and Dinesh D’Souza, one might conclude that the movement does not have anything serious to offer beyond “Feminism is cancer,” “Black people are dumb,” and “Democrats are Nazis.” (Those are, as I understand it, the central intellectual contributions of Yiannopoulos, Murray, and D’Souza, respectively.)

I will as soon as you prove that the reason these two women were banned was because they were black.

[Grokmaster]

Don't have to; they were blocked because they are conservatives; they ARE black.

More Brownshirt bullshit from the Animal House left....

[nathanbforrest45]

I never said and I don't think anyone else said they were banned because they were black. The narrative is they were banned because they were for President Donald Trump. Our outrage would be the same if they were white, yellow or any shade what so ever. The issue is they were banned because of their support of the President

Now, prove all the firings by the Administration was because they voted for Hillary rather than Trump.

See the left supporting censorship...just like antifa and our universities:

Do you think that censoring these two women on the basis that they are deemed a danger to the community was appropriate or at all defensible?

And Trump supporters.
