      Another @IntheNow_tweet video that CNN and the US government-funded German Marshall Fund apparently find so threatening they need Facebook to suspend us. Judge for yourself. Why doesn’t CNN want ppl to see the sewage crisis in Alabama?pic.twitter.com/9dlU25wReL

      Great and detailed report by @kgosztola at @shadowproofcom on how CNN colluded with US government funded think tanks to get Facebook to suspend @IntheNow_tweet’s Facebook pages in an effort to silence adversarial antiwar journalismhttps://shadowproof.com/2019/02/16/cnn-manufactured-story-about-russia-video-company-facebook-censorship/ …

      It really scares me to see how many people are pro censorship, especially when it’s the same people who are outraged by Trump’s treatment of CNN. Yet when CNN plays a role in suppressing dissenting media, they all nod. Frightening.

      I don’t think it’s a coincidence that US government funded think tanks prompted CNN to pressure @facebook to suspend @IntheNow_tweet at a time when alternative outlets like In The Now are the only platforms challenging the US regime change war on Venezuela.

      Please express your concerns to @facebook about their censorship of @IntheNow_tweet at the behest of US government funded think tanks. They need to know that their users are not okay with governments dictating what ppl see and don’t see.

      It has been 3 days since @facebook suspended @IntheNow_tweet's page at the behest of @CNN and US government funded think tanks. We had almost 4 million subscribers, did not violate any Facebook rules, were given no warning & Facebook isn’t responding to us.

      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?

      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/CsZ5z8FYJg

      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 it

      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 …

      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 pressure

          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 …

          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/ …

          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
