One more thing: Facebook suspended us on the grounds we don’t disclose we receive funding from Ruptly, who’s parent company is RT . But this standard is not applied to NPR, AJ+ or TRT. It’s discrimination, part of a McCarthyist witch-hunt.

Even if you despise my opinions, you should be outraged on free speech grounds. That Facebook can wipe out the audience and hard work of a verified and massive page without even communicating with us is alarming. What will it take for
@facebook to stop engaging in censorship?Show this thread -
Here’s another piece of adversarial content that CNN and US government funded think tanks have convinced
@Facebook to censor by taking down@IntheNow_tweet’s page. CNN’s@brianstelter outrageously equated our content w/ anti-vaxxers. Decide for yourselfpic.twitter.com/CsZ5z8FYJgShow this thread -
Seriously, I encourage you to watch the videos I’ve posted in this thread & go check out
@IntheNow_tweet’s other videos, which cover climate change, politics & history. Watch and ask yourself why CNN finds this content so offensive that it pressured@Facebook to censor itShow this thread -
Here is my documentary (that
@CNN got censored from@facebook ) on the sewage crisis in rural Alabama that's led to the resurgence of hookworm, a disease of extreme poverty that the UN was shocked to find in a country as rich as the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqq8omDQrJ8 …Show this thread -
After more than a week
@facebook has republished@IntheNow_tweet's pages. We had to disclose our funding, which is fine. We hope Facebook applies this requirement to all outlets, otherwise they will be singling out us, which would be wrong and discriminatory. Keep up the pressureShow this thread -

I'm really happy that this whole episode is over, and what a creepy episode it was. It taught me that the US government is using big media like CNN to help censor content that it doesn't like. And even worse there were so many people who cheered on the censorship.

In an excellent post,
@yashalevine explains how "Facebook now openly functions like an extension of American imperial power." He asked Facebook if it plans to force other state-funded outlets AND corporate backed outlets to disclose their funding too...https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/facebook-as-an-american-geopolitical-weapon …Show this thread -

Listen to the full CNN interrogation of me and my colleague for their story that got
@IntheNow_tweet censored from Facebook. The McCarthyism is intense. CNN attacked my anti interventionist views on Venezuela as nothing more than kremlin talking pointshttps://shadowproof.com/2019/02/27/cnn-correspondent-mccarthyist-interview-rania-khalek-uncut-exclusive/ …Show this thread -
We live in an era where powerful forces exert a great deal of energy smearing and marginalizing people like me, so much so that they pressure other people to stop interacting with us lest they too be smeared and marginalized . And I know it works. So sad.

I guess it’s always been this way. People need to be strong and stop succumbing to the pressure to cut people out to appease pro war and centrist smear artists
