    .... for Hate-Speech Violations

    ________________

    Facebook removed posts and ads from Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign over Nazi imagery that the social network said violated its policy banning “organized hate.”

    The Trump ads in question blasted “Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups,” which it claimed are “running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem.” The ads featured an upside-down triangle, which anti-hate groups said was strikingly similar to notorious Nazi symbols denoting political prisoners in World War II concentration camps. Facebook’s move to pull down the posts was first reported by the Washington Post.

    ____________________

    I strongly encourage the Trumpsters not to give up in their attempts to radicalize the electorate.

    Desperate measures are needed as Trump is languishing in the basement of the polls, the country is in crisis and his approval rating will soon be below 40%.

    You're on the right track.

    Interesting. I didn't know that about the red triangles, but leave it to Stephen Miller to dig deep and find something he thought he could slip through...

    After this next election, we'll have to replace the phrase "Nazi imagery" with "Trumpist imagery"

    Triangles?

    I think a list of what the left does NOT see as Nazi symbolism would be shorter at this point than that which they do.

    I didn't know that red triangles should trigger me into a meltdown. Thanks for the information.

    Never heard about the red triangle. Those giant icons in an ad are weird in general.

    LOL - Idiots.

    While psychotic Leftists equate triangles to Nazi symbolism, their comrades rioting across America are employing the exact same tactics of mob violence and intimidation that the Nazis used to obtain what they couldn't earn at the ballot box, either.

    Never mind the "progressive" sturmabteilung in the streets - "Look - triangles!"

    So Facebook is out of the closet as a publisher now, exercising editorial control over the speech of the most powerful office in the world.

    Good to know.

    Here come da judge...

    It works like rape:

    If Trump DOESN'T do it, it's rape.

    If Biden DOES do it, it's not rape.

    Get it?

    So you think the trump campaign complemented a post about “mobs” in the streets with an image related to contraception?

    Smh

    They’re concentration camp badges sewn onto prison garb to easily identify the type of prisoner.

    The red one identifies socialists, communists, anarchists, social democrats, and unionists.

    Do you understand now?

    Pick one, jaw-dropping incompetence (unwitting) or outreach to White Supremacists (witting). With the Trump campaign that’s a difficult call.

    On the heels of the Juneteenth debacle? The “very fine people” in Charlottesville. The reaction to the armed Hawaiian shirt incursion at the Michigan state Capitol?

    It’s obvious what this campaign is about.

    Its been used on social media for five years....

    So Anti-fa is self identifying as all the above since they use the symbol.

    Are you saying every social media company is incompetent or a White Supremacists?

    Or can you admit Media Matters yet again opened their big loud mouths to get something "conservative" shut down and the stupid add social media giants just followed along blindly...

    If that symbol is an issue or "hate" then by their own TOS they should be shut down immediately for allowing it for FIVE YEARS!

    We could ask what its sposed to mean ...except it was removed, so now we can't ask. Which is really the goal here- to shut down discussion and then manufacture a narrative that can no longer be refuted because discussion is shut down.

    So now we're left to speculate.

    Wiki-
    "The triangle can mean things that are polar opposites. The upside down triangle is female, lunar, passive, and symbolizes Mother. The right side up triangle is male, solar, active, and symbolizes Father."

    Triangles are also used as caution signs, yield signs, Civil Defense markings. Red triangles pointing up mean fire in some gnostic circles, and pointing down can symbolize earth.

    Apparently, One Antifa Facebook page, based in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, has a red triangle in its logo. Does this mean they're Nazis?

    Leftist riot mobs are looting, burning and destroying cities, and you're worried about the dire threat of red triangle Nazis on the twittertubes.

    Utterly ridiculous.

    I can't believe we are arguing a about a symbol that looks kind of like a symbol.
