WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The Blaze A pair of conservative journalists said Facebook over the weekend blocked their stories on Jussie Smollett, the "Empire" actor who police sources are now saying orchestrated a racist, homophobic attack upon himself on a freezing Chicago street at 2 a.m. Jan. 29. Rod Dreher, author of "The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation," said Facebook blocked his article for The American Conservative while Daily Caller reporter Jen Kerns said Facebook did the same to her piece and that Instagram froze her account when Kerns put a link to her story in her Instagram bio, PJ Media reported. What happened to Dreher? "You are not allowed to say on Facebook that Jussie Smollett carried out a hate hoax," Dreher tweetedSunday, showing an image of Facebook's blocking message. The image indicates Facebook blocked Dreher's article because it violated the social media giant's "Community Standards" and that no other Facebook users could see it. Facebook lifted the ban later on Sunday, the outlet said. ________ No hoax news allowed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
