Make no mistake, Facebook is a mortal enemy of free speech. Several weeks ago, it announced a ban not just on "White supremacy" but on "White nationalism." In other words, if you are proud of being European and not keen on being replaced, you have no place on Facebook. An entire ideology has been banned by Facebook founder Mark Zukerberg. No, he wasn't born in County Tipperary!
No word of banning adherents of communism, an ideology that piled up over 100-million corpses in the 20th Century. And Jewish supremacism (Zionism) or Black nationalism, no problem! The Toronto Star (April 8, 2019) reported: "Facebook will ban Faith Goldy, Soldiers of Odin, the Canadian Nationalist Front and other hate groups from across its platforms, the company said on Monday. The ban will extend to any associated Facebook groups, pages or Instagram accounts, including Kevin Goudreau, Wolves of Odin, and the Aryan Strikeforce." The charge of "hate" is a lie. Neither Goldy nor Kevin Goudreau nor any of the banned groups has ever been charged let alone convicted of "hate". "'Individuals and organizations who spread hate, attack or call for the exclusion of others on the basis of who they are have no place on Facebook,' the company said. 'That's why we have a policy on dangerous individuals and organizations, which states that we do not allow those who are engaged in offline ‘organized hate’ to have a presence on Facebook. The individuals and organizations we have banned today violate this policy, and they will no longer be allowed a presence on our services. Our work against organized hate is ongoing and we will continue to review individuals, pages, groups and content against our Community Standards.'”
Of course, this ban wasn't enough for those in Canada's anti-White censorship lobby: "'Facebook banning Faith Goldy was the test here in Canada that this policy would be meaningful,' said Evan Balgord, the executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which tracks White supremacism and hate in the country. 'The groups they are banning are only the tip of the iceberg in Canada and there are several others that should also be on that list.'” He went on to name the Yellow Vests and le Federation des quebecois de souche (Federation of Old Stock Quebeckers) as groups that should be purged, as well.
It was almost comical. Ahmed Hussen, Canada's Somali, Moslem, refugee, immigration lawyer and (God help us) Immigration Minister, hailing from a land that is hardly a paragon of free speech, announced: "Goldy has 'a pretty clear track record of racist, anti-Semitic and white-supremacist messaging.' I don't think it takes a lot to figure out you shouldn't be sharing a stage with that kind of individual." (Vancouver Courier, April 8, 2019) Just a stream of abusive slogans. For better or worse, Goldy works closely with the Jewish Defence League.
