Facebook, the social media giant once dubbed “the world’s most dangerous censor” has apparently decided that articles about what is now being seen by many as the Jussie Smollett “hate hoax” written by conservatives are doubleplus ungood and not fit for human consumption, according to a report at Twitchy.
On Monday, Twitchy informed us that, “American Conservative journalist Rod Dreher recently attempted to post his piece dissecting the crumbling Jussie Smollett “hate crime” narrative on Facebook.”
This is what he got:

My friend @JenKernsUSA’s incisive column on #jussiesmolett and the hoaxes of the past, has been blocked by @facebook for “violating community standards” — but you can read and share it here — https://t.co/qHkRBzdP6x

Both @Facebook and @Instagram have been on a roll trying to censor conservative writers this weekend. First they blocked @JenKernsUSA and froze her Instagram account over this column on Jussie Smollett. https://t.co/A62kGjAfPR

Matt Yglesias, however, was able to successfully post an article on the subject from ABC News, making it appear as though only conservative posts are being censored.

Dreher was eventually able to post his link:
Am now told that Facebook has lifted the ban on my #JussieSmollettHoax post. Good. I'm leaving my FB account deactivated all the same. https://t.co/UNGfIeGFlU

But it still doesn’t sit well with many:
Facebook dropping the mask more and more.

Incidents like this are the reason Facebook is included in the cabal this writer refers to as the “Silicon Valley Axis of Evil” working to stifle non-left-wing speech online.
