Open Letter to Facebook: It is important that you understand that we would rather be using Facebook to share with others and make the world more open and connected instead of participating in this blackout event. We are taking part in this worldwide "blackout" of Facebook to protest your arbitrary and capricious policies targeting conservatives and similar groups with censoring and suspensions. Conservative, Libertarian, Republican, Christian and similar groups seem to be held to a different standard than other users on Facebook. We have been unjustly punished for participating in the Facebook community. We fail to see how this makes the world more open and connected. We wish to speak freely on matters and people of public interest by challenging ideas, institutions, events, and practices while respecting others regarding their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition. If we fall short of this standard, we expect to be sanctioned for genuine violations. A great deal of our posts, pages, events and profiles are being unfairly censored or banned under the guise of Community Standards violations even when no such violation is committed, while other points of view, with much harsher rhetoric (including threats of physical violence) are allowed to continue. We call for an end to the Community Double-Standard. We ask only that your rules apply to everyone, equally and fairly. Only then will you truly fulfill your mission. Respectfully, We the participants of the Facebook blackout event Click here to Join the Event https://www.facebook.com/events/148283362032955 |
