Facebook is once again the focus of allegations of censorship after a Republican candidate was muzzled by the social media giant.
Teddy Daniels, who is seeking to represent President Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Congress, found himself punished for posting an inspirational, patriotic comment last month on his Facebook page.
As related by Just the News, on Nov. 9, Daniels posted, “The power of evil men lives on the cowardice of the good.”
Last week, after taking more than a month to plumb the uncertain depths of whatever twists and turns Facebook could find in that sentence, the hammer came down.
Daniels did not take long to post his thoughts on the matter to his Twitter. “This is the Big Lie @RepLizCheney. Instead of persecuting Patriots, you … should have looked into the 2020 election Fraud,” part of the tweet read.
A Facebook administrator for Daniels last Wednesday posted the Facebook warning the page received.
Facebook said the comment was hate speech and not respectful.
Facebook’s intervention led to Daniels being barred from posting on the page, and also delayed a gun raffle that had been scheduled for Wednesday.
“It just goes to show they are truly afraid of a good man who stands up,” he tweeted.
