Facebook: Pic of Obamas wearing Che t-shirts violates ‘community standards’

Facebook-connectOn Saturday, Facebook, known now as the “world’s most dangerous censor,” told administrators of Wake Up America! that it removed a picture of the Obamas wearing Che Guevara t-shirts, claiming that it violated their “community standards.”

This is the picture in question:

How, exactly, this picture violates their nebulous standards is impossible to say.  But there’s more.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Facebook then said it tore down the page:

FB-WUA

But the page is now back up and can be seen here.

Keep in mind, this page is also owned by the same person who was banned over a picture of a 2012 Donald Trump campaign button — which Facebook falsely claimed violated rules regarding nudity.

This is just the latest in a long string of harassment and abuse Facebook has subjected some of its users to.

As a note, Adina Kutnicki, an investigative journalist from Israel, and I have signed a deal to produce a book about the social media giant and the effects of its enforcement.
