I believe today Facebook also banned Louis Farrakhan, but that was a transparent effort to appear 'even handed' while actually going after conservative (and probably libertarian groups) as well.   Farrakhan has been a 'hater' for well over 30 years.  Waiting until now to ban him is laughingly pretextual.                        Jim Bell On Friday, May 3, 2019, 12:41:26 AM PDT, grarpamp <grarpamp@gmail.com> wrote: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-02/facebook-bans-alex-jones-... https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47974579 Facebook has imposed a ban on a new dozen far-right individuals and groups...

New Zealanders can also face up to 10 years prison for “knowingly” possessing a copy of the Christchurch shooting livestream or the shooter’s manifesto which he left in the wake of his attack. Corporations, including web hosts, face an additional $200,000 AUD fine under the same law for allowing users to have and distribute the video. Footage of the attack, including the shooter’s manifesto are illegal to view, possess and distribute in New Zealand. Last month, Australian and New Zealand telecommunication companies were quick to block websites that they thought would distribute the content, such as ZeroHedge, 8chan and 4chan. Another New Zealand man, 18, faces up to 28 years in prison for sharing the livestream.

Meanwhile, the Islamic terrorist organisation of Hamas is still permitted to use Facebook and Instagram. World Press Freedom Day: Jailed for a painting Today marks World Press Freedom Day. Around the world, hundreds of journalists are imprisoned for doing their jobs, and the highest number is in Turkey - according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Zehra Doğan, a Kurdish journalist and artist, was sentenced to nearly three years in a Turkish jail for painting a picture. Her story gained worldwide attention in 2018 after Banksy drew a mural calling for her release. In jail, Doğan secretly published a newspaper and created materials to paint. Now released, she is determined to continue sharing stories.
