Social Media Banning Right Wingers

While it can be said that not all right wingers are racist, xenophobic, sexist, greedy, homophobic fascists, all the  racist, xenophobic, sexist, greedy, homophobic fascists are on the right wing which is why many social media platforms are now banning far-right organisations and individuals.
The ban, which came into effect at midday on Thursday, is aimed at groups and individuals who posts content that: 'Spread hate, or attack or call for the exclusion of others on the basis of who they are who proclaim a violent or hateful mission or are engaged in acts of hate or violence'.
As that would seem to be the the majority of right-wing blogs then we can expect to see a massive hole left in the internet which will leave more room for left wing blogs to flourish and put forward their ideology of equality, socialism and general looking after each other and the planet.
The move is long overdue but shamefully it took mass murders by right wing zealots before the digital world caught up with what we knew all along, extreme right wing views are toxic and lead to violence.
Concerns were raised in 2016 about the scale of the far right’s activities on social media but Facebook handed out a bland excuse that their platform was 'used by parties and supporters of many political persuasions to campaign for issues they feel passionately about' which is their way of saying they didn't plan to do anything about it.
Unfortunately it took a host of right wing murders and one deluded right wing nut to kill 50 people in New Zealand before it took it seriously but better late than never and a few right wing bloggers hopefully can now expect to find that they can't sign in to their accounts anymore.

Oh Lucy, go ahead and say what you mean.

You think that everybody that leans right and disagrees with you is a racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, fascist...

why do lack the backbone to say what you really think?

Nope. you apparently can't be honest. at best you can just be openly manipulative.
