State-corporate censorship appears to strike again
After a spate of censorship moves affecting Skwawkbox’s coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its exposure of UK media and government bias to protect the genocidal regime, it seems that the Facebook social media platform is again targeting Skwawkbox’s page.
Any attempt to upload links, images or even simple comments is currently resulting in a message from the platform that ‘something went wrong’ and the site will not even allow the reading of notifications, despite the page appearing intact, even after refreshes and restarts, with the same result regardless of which browser is used:
As Skwawkbox has said before, readers who want to be sure of being notified of new articles should either subscribe to the site mailing list in the sidebar of each page, subscribe to Skwawkbox’s Telegram channel, or ideally both.
And please do read the information below and support if you can afford to do so:
SKWAWKBOX needs your help. The site is provided free of charge but depends on the support of its readers to be viable. If you’d like to help it keep revealing the news as it is and not what the Establishment wants you to hear – and can afford to without hardship – please click here to arrange a one-off or modest monthly donation via PayPal or here to set up a monthly donation via GoCardless (SKWAWKBOX will contact you to confirm the GoCardless amount as it has to be entered by us). Alternatively, if you prefer to make a one-off or recurring donation by simple card payment, please use the form below:

When it acts like an authoritarian dictatorship bent on world conquest which censors any deviation from The Official Narrative, then yup! It’s a duck.
Or a Schmuk! – a foolish and contemptible person/organisation.
Perpetual war, Mass-surveillance, an omni-present regulating State, Big Brother, constant propaganda, a Ministry of Truth, an authoritarian Superstate called (North Atlantic) Oceania (of which Britain is just ‘Airstrip One‘).
Ironically, George Orwell — a staunch believer in democratic socialism – was using Nineteen Eighty-Four to warn us against a Stalinist nightmare based on the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
But, then again, he never met Keir Rodney Starmer, Benjamin Netanyahu or Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.
As much as the world needs to end Israel’s Occupation and Holocaust in Gaza, Britain needs Starmer out of Downing Street.
There’s a global outage on FB, IG and Whatsapp. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of c***s.
Is this a touch of karma going on here? … FB is down apparently [according to The Guardian and Downdetector at least]
It’s not just you this time. Seems to be a glich.
There are rather a lot of places where honesty about the genociders is not allowed. Some of them being the most notable ones claiming they tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth… The world actually knows the truth, and the world knows those genocide deniers, and we’ll remember their lies. Forever.
Did u know facebook, whatsapp and Instagram were all down today.
Yeh a lot of problems with Facebook etc today also, so maybe they didnt try blocking you mate
They’ve been doing it to Skwawkie for months, John.
FWIW F’book now calls itself ‘META’ – as in metastasis, the thing that happens when malignant growth(s), cancer tumours, spreads from one location to another in a person’s body.
Hardly-regulated ‘social media’ are killing our weak/tenuous democracies John. No question about it.
Been having trouble on FB sharing your content for sometime and failed to.get any response to complaints. Just started with Bluesky , will see how that behaves as it grows. ✊🏻
Why are you still using Facebook?
Why, indeed, did you start? Because everyone else was, perhaps? Baaaa!
I don’t follow trends Tim, I set them. I don’t feel the need to be part of a group. In fact I get suspicious if I’m in the majority.
Put your claws away bud. There are many, many other platforms.
