Social media platform claims post covering call for support for Dylan Evans at Westminster magistrates ‘misleading or designed to trick people’
The Facebook platform has deleted last night’s post linking to Skwawkbox’s article covering both the trial today of author Dylan Evans, an anti-genocide activist charged as part of the Starmer regime’s ‘lawfare’ misuse of anti-terror legislation, in consultation with the Israeli government, against journalists and activists who expose and oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and the call by Evans’s supporters for others to join them in a solidarity protest at the court.
The platform claimed that the link post on Skwawkbox’s Facebook page ‘may use misleading links or content to trick people. The post is entirely factual, but the ‘appeal’ will take up to four days to resolve, by which time Evans’s trial will be over and it will be too late for well-wishers to go to Westminster Magistrates’ Court to support him. It is not the first time that Meta has done this to posts on important issues, or has even deleted entire anti-genocide and anti-racist pages, despite the platform’s claims, earlier this year, to have removed its politically-driven ‘fact-checking’ providers in order to promote free speech.
The trial begins, after Evans spent more than a year on bail, at 10am today.

Interesting definitions of “Free speech” across the world. Inevitably it means “speech that brown noses the government.”
Farcebook removed my post of the article within seconds – citing ‘spam’. To get round this ludicrous infringement on free speech I screenshot their notice and re-posted the article under that. You can read Evans’ writing for free on Medium.
