Facebook Bans Zero Hedge From Platform In Continued Purge Against Real News

Popular guerrilla news outlet marked as 'spam' that violates 'community standards'


By Infowars.com Monday, March 11, 2019

Facebook suddenly blocked the sharing of Zero Hedge articles on its platform Monday, claiming the outlet violates its community standards.

When a Zero Hedge article is linked on Facebook, instead of showing the content, a message pops up saying: “the link you tried to visit goes against our community standards.”

It’s unclear why Facebook decided to mark Zero Hedge as spam, as the platform has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

It’s possible Facebook has simply determined that Zero Hedge must be silenced due to its relentless coverage of Facebook’s many problems, including privacy violations, mass abandonment by younger users, systematic censorship, and shady government cooperation.

The move is nonetheless significant: even Infowars content can still be shared on Facebook despite being banned by nearly all major social media platforms, including Facebook.
