FB removes ‘Stand up to racism’ page for being ‘against community standards’

Newly non-censoring platform censors… anti-racism and anti-fascism page for posting about a certain ‘salute’

Meta’s Facebook social media platform has removed the page of a well-known UK anti-racist platform – for supposedly breaching its nebulous ‘community standards’.

The platform, which has a long reputation of censoring left-wing news and speech and leaving right-wing speech untouched, announced earlier this month that its censorship had been political and that it was no longer going to use establishment so-called ‘fact-checking’ companies, instead switching to a Twitter-like ‘community note’ system.

However, this change seems to have reversed, at least in the case of the Stand up to Racism (SUTR) group, a sister-group of Unite against Fascism – whose page removed, apparently for posting about a ‘Hitler salute’ performed by X owner and supposed ‘free speech absolutist’ Elon Musk (twice) during yesterday’s inauguration event:

SUTR is asking supporters who can do so to attend its anti-racism march in London on 1 February in a show of solidarity and resistance:

  1. And are CAA & SFF gonna get the same treatment?

    On another note, smarmers blurb this morning mentioned “those that opt out of work”.

    Very subtle, keef. Surreptitiously garnering support from the right, and trying to give further credence to the workers v shirkers narrative, in an attempt to procure consent across the board for the welfare cuts that you’re gonna implement.

    Those heinous murders were NOTHING to do with the unemployed, but they’ll now be viewed as potential mass murderers- because of your SHITE.

    You’re a snivelling, slimy shithouse, smarmer Far worse than camoron & gidiot osborne EVER were.

    If there’s any justice, your demise will be miserable, long drawn out, and excruciatingly painful.

    1. And pretending that the unemployed and claimants are not also taxpayers. Just like the Conservatives

  2. I saw on an American newsletter I get that Instagram was hiding the search results for “Democrats” … the link was to a BBC article –
    “Instagram hides search results for ‘Democrats'”
    “21 January 2025
    Meta says its working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a “results hidden” message when users search for the terms “Democrat” or “Democrats”.”

    1. Tik tok just sent me a violation for writing #FreePalestine. Although they restored it on appeal.

  3. As a muslim i think you would find it shocking to see what Facebook allow. A woman posted me a meme and i still have it screenshot that says NEVER EVER TRUST A DIRTY F… G MUSLIM. This apparently was not against Facebook rules. Imagine I had wrote the same about a jew. (not that I ever would), I would rightly never see my Facebook account again. We muslims are fair game for death threats or any other type of filth. This doesn’t surprise me one bit that they now target anti racist groups.
