Facebook and Twitter were recently condemned by Republican members of Congress for blocking users from sharing the New York Post’s report on the Biden and Son scandal on their platforms, but Facebook deleted the New Jersey Women for Trump group with nearly 30,000 members without warning, and President Trump tweeted on the morning of January 1, demanding that Facebook reinstate the group immediately.
In his tweets, Trump choked: “Facebook, put them back now! (referring to the recovery of deleted fan pages)”
According to nj.com, recent censorship on Facebook and Twitter has raised growing concerns that conservative voices are being increasingly blocked on social media, and on October 31, with only three days left until Tuesday’s presidential election, Facebook removed “New Jersey Women for Trump” without sending any warning notices. “.
Priscilla Confrey, co-founder of the group, told NJ.com, “People are really pissed off.” She said so many people were blocked and they felt silenced by Facebook. She contacted Facebook several times to find out why the group of women supporting Trump was removed.
The Republican-controlled federal Senate last week subpoenaed the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter and Google’s parent company Alphabet to appear at a hearing on regulating online speech. Trump has also been taking shots at what he calls “BigTech” in recent days, claiming that the West Coast tech majors are deliberately downplaying stories unfavorable to the Biden campaign and depriving people of their right to know.
