Facebook bans Tommy Robinson's page

I wonder how long it'll take him to completely misunderstand and represent censorship again and claim he's been a victim of it? I hope Facebook doesn't cave to his uninformed horde of gammon and undo the decision.

i am sure he is devastated

:joker:

He certainly was when Twitter banned him.

Good riddance

Good luck using Myspace as a platform

Imagine if William Wilberforce had been censored from giving his opinions.

If people in positions of power need to censor other human beings, then they'd be my biggest concern, what do they have to hide?

hate speech from Tommy? what a surprise

no from people posting on his page it says

Imagine being banned from Facebook for constantly breaking rules?

i mean, if only there was some way to get around this complex technical issue...

Hate speech needs to be defended more than any other speech.

You don't need to defend other speech, it's free as should hate speech be.

Luckily Tommy is no Wilberforce
Also, he's got no earth-shattering secrets to impart, just plain vile hate
so no need to despair, Alf

Wilberforce was hated by people who didn:t agree with him, because he was saying the wrong things at the time. Just like Tommy is today.

can you give the thread an example of two of this so called hate speech from him?

libertarian are we?
Disagree, Alf. There's no need to hear people calling for murder. He could still make any conciveable point he wishes without inciting murder.

Weirdly, I partly agree with Alf. However, free speech is not consequence-free speech. No one is curbing his ability to give his opinions on any subject he wishes, he just doesn't have the right for those opinions to be given a public platform.

Who has censored Tommy Robinson?

what a mess!

Facebook and Twitter for a kick off.

He Broke the the New Facebook
inforced Hate Rules
so you would expect him to be banned.

They are setting up other Sites
to carry on.

So many will no longer see what he posts.

also banned today on Instagram

But Facebook has new Hate Rules
you can not ignore that
he would have had warnings

Rest in piss

Yeah, which is why I said he doesn't have the right to a public platform for his free speech.

Facebook and Twitter are not government bodies, they are privately owned platforms in which uses are granted access to if they accept a code of conduct.

If you agreed to rent a flat from someone and you disregarded the rules, could you blame the owner for throwing you out? No because you broke the rules you agreed to follow. Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon is not being censored, he can shout his views from the rooftops and no one can stop him doing so but they can remove him if he breaks the rules of the platform he is using.

To call it censorship is to misunderstand what censorship is in the first place. You are entitled to your views, you are entitled to share them but you aren't entitled to use a platform that you don't own if you can't follow the rules of that platform.

They may have started as private companies, but they are now the biggest public square for debate.

He is setting up their own Sites
so those that are loyal & follow him
will carry on.

He can use all the UKIP channels if he needs to

Wrong.

Social Media platforms were privately owned platforms when they're created and they are still privately own platforms now. None of us are entitled to use social media without limits, we all have to abide by a code of conduct we agreed to when we signed up. Nothing has changed and popularity of a platform doesn't change the facts.

Nobody is telling Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon that he can't have his own opinions, nobody is punishing him for having those views but that doesn't mean he can break the rules that he agreed to when he signed up to those websites. He is entitled to his views but he isn't entitled to use a platform that he doesn't own.

Trying to make out that Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon is being censored is just factually incorrect and by continuing to do so you are spreading misinformation.

Given that he's built literally his entire "political" career around Social Media-outrage and winding people up into a frenzy online... being banned from Social Media platforms does represent a bit of a problem for him.

Good....makes more room for the paedos to work in....well done facebook, loving the stability.

He's not being censored, he was banned for breaking the terms of service on a website.

Paedophiles can't be having much luck on Facebook these days though... I don't think anyone under 40 uses it any more :think:.

dreadful technological dinosaur

Great stuff

and can we also ban folk like Katie Hopkins at the same time

Good news.

Banned from Australia and now facebook. good stuff

yes pls

The problem with that is that they're not consistent with this, and it looks, to the observing eye, that these rules are enforced by partisan political leanings.
