(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In its most recent wave of partisan censorship, Mark Zuckerberg‘s Facebook has conducted a purge of all news not approved by the Left or its corporate media branch.
On the chopping block is the famous Libs of TikTok account, which has been permanently banned by the social media giant with no explanation, the Right Scoop reported.
According to a message posted on Twitter by the Libs of TikTok, Facebook disabled the account, noting that they, in what seems to have been a private tribunal of Facebook officials, had “already reviewed the decision and it cannot be reversed.”
“They suspended our account and we immediately appealed,” Libs of TikTok wrote.
“Within 2 minutes they answered that we’re suspended for good. I’m sure we totally got a full and fair review.”

Things have not gone well for those on the Right hoping to be reinstated by Facebook.
Facebook has said that it will not review former President Donald Trump’s case until January of 2023, thereby keeping Trump off of the world’s largest social media platform through the upcoming midterm elections.
Facebook also attempted to ‘fact-check’ the Internal Revenue Service’s recent job post for “IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agents” who are authorized to use “deadly force” to confront tax-evaders.
The censorship comes at the same time as screenshots of the initial IRS job posting circulate the internet, revealing the precise language used by the federal bureaucracy.
The fact-checking professionals at Lead Stories apparently encouraged Facebook to ban the content, intentionally misrepresenting the posts in question in order to defend the IRS.
Per Lead Stories, it was misleading to suggest that “all” IRS agents would carry firearms–a claim that nobody was making when the story’s circulation was cut off.
Unfortunately for normal Americans, Meta is planning to meddle in the upcoming midterm elections by “connecting people with reliable information and providing industry-leading transparency for ads about social issues, elections and politics.”
Eager to protect Our Democracy, Meta will also “reject ads encouraging people not to vote or calling into question the legitimacy of the upcoming election.”
