Facebook on Monday blocked former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) from managing his own Facebook page. The libertarian figurehead shared a screenshot of a message Facebook sent to him.
Paul tweeted, “With no explanation other than ‘repeatedly going against our community standards,’ @Facebook has blocked me from managing my page. Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere is the offending post identified.”
Facebook’s boilerplate censorship message to Paul declares, “Due to repeatedly going against our Community Standard, you’re temporarily blocked from creating new Pages and managing your existing pages. Review our Community Standards to see what’s a violation on Facebook”:
The only thing we posted to Facebook today was my weekly "Texas Straight Talk" column, which I have published every week since 1976.

Facebook’s message to Paul did not include any specific information identifying what content was violative of its “community standards” or how. The Facebook employee(s) who decided to restrict Paul’s access to his page was not identified.
Facebook’s restriction of Paul’s access to its platform is the latest example of a broader pattern of left-wing censorship driven by Big Tech.
Kelley Paul, wife of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), highlighted Twitter’s arbitrary application of its own nebulous terms of service on Sunday when she criticized the left-wing digital platform for not removing threats against her husband.
“Hey @jack, remember how for the last three years you have allowed thousands of hateful tweets celebrating my husband’s assault and encouraging more violence against him? I do,” wrote Paul’s wife in a tweet:

CUPERTINO, CA—Apple has removed all apps from the App Store and the iOS platform since any one of them could be used to incite violence.
The new iPhone will just have a blank screen, to ensure you can’t incite violence with it.
“Phone calls and text messages? You can plot violence. Books? You can be radicalized and then plot violence. Maps? You can navigate to violence,” said Tim Cook. “We must make sure no one can ever use these tools for evil.”
Here’s the reason for banning some of the apps, according to Cook:
Clock: Can schedule violence
Notes: Can write down ideas which lead to violence
Settings: Can get really frustrated trying to navigate iOS and be incited to violence
Safari: Can google “Jordan Peterson” and become a right-wing radical
Podcasts: can listen to Joe Rogan backlog
Stocks: can get mad at billionaires and riot
Game Center: can play Call of Duty and incite violence against other people’s mothers
Health: Can get in shape to commit violence
“The future is appless!” The new appless iPhone will cost $2000 and was instantly sold out as rabid Apple fans lined up at Apple Stores and preordered them online.
“I can’t believe we ever used apps before — seems so archaic now!” said one fan as he camped outside an NYC Apple Store. “I c
Facebook seemed to me to be a liberal front 14 years ago. So I killed it! What seemed was actually a fact as the last 4 years proved.
