The National Archives broke the news Thursday that the story of Black Lives Matter co-founder Cullers’ mansion can no longer be shared on Facebook, which has blocked the New York Post from posting the story on the platform.
The New York Post revealed last week that Cullers, one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, had purchased four high-end properties worth millions of dollars in total. The revelation drew the ire of many on the left, who may have realized that the millions of dollars raised by Black Lives Matter may not have been used just to host events. Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter in Greater New York, said there should be an “independent investigation” into how Black Lives Matter spends its money.
American comedian Matthew Paul Walsh tweeted, “Black Lives Matter is the biggest and most dangerous scam in American history. Crooks rake in money for themselves at the top of the organization, and poor communities across the country are devastated by the chaos they foment, with the top tier sharing in the profits. How can anyone still support these scammers? “
On Thursday, people began to realize that the New York Post story on Cullers was blocked from being posted on Facebook. Anyone who tried to share the post received an error message claiming it violated Facebook’s community standards. The National Archives was able to independently confirm that the link was blocked in a number of tests, including in the Facebook timeline and direct messages. Currently, other New York Post stories are not subject to such restrictions on Facebook.
A reporter for the National Archives tweeted, “Facebook is using its usual trick to keep the New York Post story about the Black Lives Matter co-founder buying millions from being posted on the Facebook platform! I guess Facebook will claim that this is “targeted harassment,” i.e., exposing the embarrassing fact that Facebook is trying to protect people! “
This isn’t the first time Big Tech has cracked down on the New York Post’s story in an attempt to prevent it from gaining more traction. Last October, both Facebook and Twitter blocked the release of a New York Post article revealing Hunter Biden’s emails and embarrassing photos. Twitter suspended the New York Post’s account for “spreading hacked material,” even though the content came from a laptop Hunter left in a repair store.
