RT: Facebook purges & restricts THOUSANDS of QAnon, Antifa & militia accounts, stretching definition of ‘dangerous individuals’

Facebook has removed thousands of groups and pages related to the QAnon conspiracy after expanding its concept of ‘dangerous individuals’ to include those who merely ‘celebrate violent acts.’ Streisand effect, meet slippery slope.

Nearly 1,000 groups and pages and over 1,500 ads related to QAnon were removed in Wednesday’s purge, while lesser restrictions were imposed on a whopping 10,000 Q-related Instagram accounts (along with almost 1,500 groups and pages on Facebook). The survivors were put on notice that Facebook would be monitoring them for “specific terminology and symbolism” being used to covertly discuss or plot violence.

In an unusual move, Facebook even went after liberal darling Antifa – though very gingerly, referring to “militia organizations and those encouraging riots, including some who may identify as Antifa” in its announcement that some 1,500 groups and pages in this category had gotten the ax.
