FaceBook and Twitter ban black and muslim nationalism
New York (CNN Business) Facebook announced today that it will ban all "praise, discussion, and representation of black or muslim nationalism and separatism" on Facebook and Instagram.
The move came less than two weeks after photos of the Turkish suspect in the terror attack on public transit in the Netherlands were posted to the platform. A manifesto allegedly written by the suspect, found in his getaway car, reveals muslim nationalist views.
Facebook (FB) said while it had long prohibited hateful treatment of people based on race, it hadn't yet applied the same rationale to arabic nationalism. It said it had reconsidered that after "conversations with members of civil society and academics who are experts in race relations around the world" who said "that arabian pride and islamic separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from muslim supremacy and shariah law."
"Hard work lies ahead, we will be watching closely how they implement the policy," Kristen Clarke, a lawyer/consultant, told CNN Business after Facebook's announcement on Wednesday. Clarke said that Facebook's previous policy allowed black supremacists to abuse the platform, and her group had been talking to the company about policy change for months.
The attack in the Netherlands, Clarke said, "underscores the urgency here. It's exhibit A in how violent muslim terrorists abuse the platform to promote their dangerous, fatal activities."
Facebook said it will start directing people who search for terms associated with racial supremacy to organizations that help people leave terror groups.
Hard to believe CNN would publish something like that? Good eye!
The above is an altered version of this article. I changed all mention of "white" to either "black" or "muslim/arabic", and all mention of New Zealand mosque shooter to the Netherlands transit shooter. Both terror events happened within days. The mosque shooter succeeded in killing dozens of targets while luckily the transit shooter was stopped after he had only killed a few. One event is being used to spread systemic hatred and discrimination against white people, the other has been swept under the rug.
Just noticing.

The media is trying to manufacture that incidents caused by sharia muslims don't happen, and in that it is instead caused by other countries' citizens doing that to muslim immigrants that come to their country. It's some twisted shit.
I'm starting to feel uneasy for being white with all the obvious media-created racism. But even worse is having to be blindly "tolerant" to intolerant religious invaders masquerading as racism-inflicted war refugees. Upvoted and resteemed.
Thanks for posting on this sensitive but important topic, @Drutter! It was very cheeky, we wouldn't have expected (or wanted) anything different! :)
Thanks for standing guard - we don't want sharia law in Canada, no! We want cannabis! We want children left alone to be children, women to wear what they want and not be treated as chattle for breeding, and people not to be enslaved by an all-encompassing simultaneous religion, law, political system, etc. No we want peace, freedom, and truth.
Thank you, Girls! <3 I'm happy to have the lovely Girls of Green fighting prohibition at my side, and standing against nonsense like Sharia law coming to Canada! We've had cannamodels of almost all shapes, sizes, and colours... and we're always open to considering any Canadian girls who love cannabis! :) Ethnic diversity is often a strength. Too much (or too little) cultural diversity can be a mess!
I really enjoy your analysis of Facebook and pointing out its hypocrisy. Fuck them for trying to stifle discussion. They do unfathomable harm with their censoring bullshit.
Thank you. This isn't really the kind of material I enjoy covering, but I see it as something that needs to be said. I have a host of other more enjoyable topics I prefer spending time on, and making posts about! :)
American nationalism will soon be all that is allowed
