Surprised he's just not outright banned.

And in addition to their outright censorship - how many "mistakes" did they make, seemingly only when it's someone on the right? :rolleyes:

Ron Paul Says Facebook Is Censoring His Account Without Explanation

Update: A Facebook spokesperson has claimed in response to an inquiry that "While there were never any restrictions on Ron Paul's page, we restricted one admin's ability to post by mistake. We have corrected the error."

Ron Paul has said that Facebook has censored his account without explanation.

“With no explanation other than ‘repeatedly going against our community standards,’ @Facebook has blocked me from managing my page,” former Congressman (R-TX) Ron Paul tweeted Jan. 11. “Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere is the offending post identified.”

Paul later commented that “The only thing we posted to Facebook today was my weekly ‘Texas Straight Talk’ column, which I have published every week since 1976.”

His son Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) retweeted the statement, commenting: “Facebook now considers advocating for liberty to be sedition. Where will it end?”

At the time of the writing of this article, Ron Paul’s Facebook page appears to still be online, but the elder Paul has not posted in the past 5 hours. Facebook itself has not responded as to why Ron Paul was allegedly censored.

The alleged censorship of Ron Paul has come after a widespread silencing of conservative leaders in the wake of the Capitol Hill riots on Jan. 6.

All bets were off once President Donald Trump faced unprecedented censorship the previous week.

Last Wednesday's breach of Capitol was sad day for America. This censorship of conservative voices is even sadder and pretty scary. Not just censoring communications but destroying their livelihood by deplatforming? Despicable.

GAB can only take donations through bitcoin, e-check or mail. No digital payment companies will work with him. I suspect same thing is happening to Parler. They did it to Trump online stores as well. Remember when banks stopped doing business with gun shops and manufacturers? Now they are after anyone who supported MAGA.

Seems like the first step to socialism to me.

Using bitcoin is a great way to go and isn't as bad as folks think. Just don't lose your wallets!!

Monies can still go around and much harder to trace and no banks in between to stop you. It may sound confusing to some in the beginning, but setting up an account and getting some initial funding into it isn't as hard as some would think.

I know damn well whichever of the 2, or even both - if they come back and start building up nicely, I'll be more than happy to chip in a bit. I'd bet if they put up a fundraiser and made it public for all to see, they would get millions for funding, IMO/

Dorsey bought Square and then invested $50 million in bitcoin. Then he objected to regulation of bitcoin.
