A few days ago, Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin posted these photos of her friends Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes to show her support after the social-media giant banned them over alleged violations of company policies. . .
F*ck you @facebook and @instagram and @twitter – I'll use my platforms as long as I have my platforms to support my friends and allies. #freespeechfriday #worldpressfreedomday https://t.co/gTYpIF3boC pic.twitter.com/bcCttd0r91

. . .and on Friday Michelle reported that Facebook had deleted her post, saying it “doesn’t follow our Community Standards”:
So this just happened to me on @facebook The shadow of the Valley of the Banned looms. Contingency plans in place.#fightthecensors @RonColeman @alx @LibertarianBlue @RaheemKassam @willchamberlain @pdabrosca @gatewaypundit @minds @bitchute https://t.co/6yY8lWzTce pic.twitter.com/o5w5CkXECz

So, either Facebook deleted the post because if didn’t like the photos of some of the people it just banned or it deleted the post because it didn’t like its policies being criticized by Michelle? Either way, this is not headed in the right direction:
I know my days here are numbered. You know Twitter goons already put me on notice for my Mo Cartoons posts. Now @facebook – Instagram's next. Stay in touch for my next big projects via my newsletter sign-up. Always have a back-up plan or 2 or 3==> https://t.co/G49S2pAQ2e

And get this: Facebook also wants Michelle to give them money to boost her posts which they think is too dangerous:
Holy crap, @facebook – you have a lot of nerve. You money-grubbing censors now want me to BUY a BOOST so I can spread the news about how my harmless content is being banned by you. For real. ??? pic.twitter.com/xYy2NbtkXa

Hypocrites, and that’s putting it mildly.
