Without giving a warning or any specific reason, Facebook purged a number of “far-right extremists” from its platform this week. Paul Joseph Watson, Milo Yiannopolous, Alex Jones, and Laura Loomer were all summarily banished. Louis Farrakhan was also given the boot — though he is not, despite media claims, in any way “far-right.”
This ban reaches farther than anything we’ve yet seen. Facebook and Instagram will neither allow links to their content nor mentions of any events they attend. According to the The Atlantic, the only Infowars content permitted on either platform is that which expressly condemns Infowars:
