The conservative website LifeSiteNews has been removed from Facebook, with Zuckerberg, 37, accusing the group of violating policies regarding COVID-19.
LifeSiteNews, an often faith-themed website that Snopes.com (allegedly controlled by social media companies and Bill Gates) describes as “a known purveyor of misleading information,” announced the Facebook ban on its own website Tuesday (May 4).
“Facebook has just permanently banned LifeSiteNews’ Facebook page,” the announcement read. “This apparently is not a temporary measure: It is gone for good.”
The announcement quoted LifeSiteNews marketing director Rebekah Roberts, who framed Facebook’s decision as “another case of Big Tech silencing free speech on their platform.”
A Facebook spokesman confirmed the removal of LifeSiteNews’ page to Religion News Service on Wednesday, saying, “we have removed this page for repeatedly violating our COVID-19 policies.”
According to LifeSiteNews, Facebook told the site’s marketing officials their Facebook page was taken down in accordance with the company’s policy of removing accounts that distribute “vaccine discouraging information on the platform.” It also allegedly accused the site of publishing “false information about COVID-19 that could contribute to physical harm.”

Good analogy no more busted Chinese rubbish we hope.Ed
Got banned for a month for stating that like everything else from China, the virus wouldn’t last.
How hard would it be to commence a world wide class action against Twitter & Facebook for their violation of everyone’s right to free speech and their electioneering interferences ?
