Prager University is reporting that Facebook is now “heavily” censoring its videos on the social media platform, including the outright deletion of some posts:
BREAKING: We're being heavily censored on @Facebook.
Our last 9 posts are reaching 0 of our 3 million followers. At least two videos were deleted last night for “hate speech” including our recent video with @conservmillen.

The WSJ’s Kimberley Strassel says one of her videos, on censorship no less, was one of the posts pulled by Facebook:
this is crazy. my own @prageru video about free speech was in fact censored. https://t.co/wwkceeFg3u

Another of the banned videos is on … wait for it … baseball:

Many, many on Twitter warned this would happen next after Alex Jones was suspended:
Good job everyone!
Blocking videos on free speech…is exactly the result America deserves.
Congrats to @facebook, @jack and @Twitter, and everyone else that supported this idiotic policy. https://t.co/Do6iHbWb8t

“Alex Jones isn’t the hill to die on you dummies. There is no slippery slope.”
Our brave conservative thought leaders are gonna sit out the corporate fight until we’ve lost that part too. Principles indeed. https://t.co/3pTgpiFOEj— Doctor Jesse Kelly® (@JesseKellyDC) August 17, 2018
Weekly Standard: We actually need these tech oligarchs to ban *more* people.
Facebook: That can be arranged.https://t.co/SUdsVqDjaH— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) August 17, 2018
For those amused at Milo and Alex Jones, how do you feel about PragerU being blacklisted?
Still funny?
You consider yourself above these people. Your enemies don't. In fact, you're more dangerous because your "hate" is respectable.
