The Looney Left Report
Well, 2018 is almost over here in New Mexico and good ol' Facebook has provided the Looney Left Report with a idiotic action to close out the year.
Facebook is apparently banning the use of "alien", "illegal alien" and just "illegal". They are claiming that usage of these terms constitute "hate speech".
According to The Blaze:
Amid accusations that Facebook employs secretive content policing strategies, which critics say disproportionately impact conservative users, the social media giant is now being accused of removing posts that describe Gustavo Perez Arriaga — the man police accuse of murdering California police officer Ronil Singh — as an "illegal immigrant."
What are the details?
According to Blue Lives Matter, Facebook has informed multiple users that posts declaring "Arriaga" to be an "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" violate the platform's community rules for "hate speech."
In one instance, a user posted a picture with Singh and Arriaga side-by-side. Above and below Singh's picture were the words "vetted legal immigrant" and "protector" while the words "unvetted illegal immigrant" and "[alleged] murderer" were above and below Arriaga's.
There's nothing wrong with those terms. As former talk show host David Gold posted about this:
Facebook banning the term, "illegal", "illegal alien and just "alien." I wonder if we will be punished? Should be interesting. These terms are honest. Not turning back.
