Facebook Reconsiders ‘Unsafe For Community’ Tag On Pro-Trump Diamond and Silk Videos
This was just silly. What was ‘unsafe’ to Facebook was they were two popular black women supporting Trump and conservative ideas. The left can't have that.
Quote:Facebook is reconsidering classifying videos produced by Diamond and Silk, two of President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters, as “unsafe to the community” after the dynamic duo went on Fox News’ morning show asking why the embattled social media giant had labeled them as such.
In a statement to Fox News, a Facebook spokesperson said: “We are aware of this issue. We are reaching out to the creators of Diamond & Silk to try and resolve this matter.”
After being deemed “unsafe to the community” by Facebook’s public policy team, Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson went on Fox & Friends and said they were provided with no reason why their videos were labeled as unsafe.
“They gave us no rationale,” the sisters said on Sunday. “The only thing they told us is that we are unsafe for the community. We are two women of color, how are we unsafe? We don’t sell drugs, we don’t belong to no gangs. It’s offensive, it’s appalling, it taints our brand. Why are you censoring two black women? Why are you not allowing our viewers to view our content?”

But the statement I saw said this was "un-appealable!" I guess they didn't realize how racist their actions were and how bad this would play out while Zuck is on Capital Hill to testify about the election.

Both sad & funny at the same time.
With all the shite that's on FB from various d-bags & scumbags, THIS is what they consider "unsafe for the community"?
Couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with them being Trump supporters.......

It definitely doesn't fit the Facebook leftist agenda. I mean look at those two women. How anyone could consider them a threat is beyond belief. The leftists who run Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc., are the real threat to this country.

Looks like if you call Facebook out on something, they fold like a cheap suit.

So Facebook is racist?
And they're trying to save face now?
Kind of like Kimmel being all sexist his entire career and now trying to be pro-woman.
Which is it? What represents the real you? The behavior/actions demonstrated in daily life or the look-at-me-now actions when you get called out?

Watching the senators kiss the arse of a kid worth 60 billion dollars that controls the information flow to the simpletons of this country may mark the end of our civilization.

Cruz put Zuckerberg on the spot, specifically including this two. The Zuck was feeling the heat - well, as much as a robot can.
