Facebook Suppresses Pro-Life Ad Slamming Biden and Harris Over Abortion Extremism


On Friday, Facebook prevented the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List from running ads in swing states slamming Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, for their extreme pro-abortion stances. Facebook cited a fact-check from The Dispatch, Steve Hayes’ outlet, but The Dispatch later withdrew the fact-check and issued an apology. As of Friday afternoon, Facebook has kept up the “partly false information” flag despite The Dispatch’s apology.

The suppression appears more noteworthy after Facebook and Twitter suppressed the spread of a New York Post story about Hunter Biden, leading the RNC to file an FEC complaint against Twitter, claiming it gave an “in-kind contribution” to the Biden campaign.

Farcebook will soon have to answer to this suppression.
Scary thought that the USA media can control all broadcast platforms.

They’ll sing a little different tune if they lose their Section 230 lawsuit shelter - and they should.

Bingo. They’re about to enjoy a new beginning ... as publishers.

Well, since they don't have extreme views on abortion perhaps Facebook is protecting us from lies. They certainly would not want to be spreading lies.
