Facebook blacklists conservative writer Nick Adams after criticizing Joe Biden voters

Conservative writer Nick Adams said on Monday that Facebook had blacklisted President Joe Biden’s account with 1.5 million followers after he criticized supporters.

In a message to Adams, Facebook wrote: “You can’t post or comment for 3 days. This is because you’ve previously posted something that doesn’t follow our Community Standards. This post is against our standards for harassment and bullying, so only you can see it.”

“If your content repeatedly violates our community standards, your account may be restricted or disabled,” Facebook added.

Adams’ Facebook post included a photo of the gas station worth $113.80 and the caption, “When you hate someone more than you love your country, here are the results.”

“Anyone who voted for Biden and not Trump should bow their heads in shame. It’s selfish, uncertain, self-defeating, and weak behavior, and it’s also very hard to forgive,” Adams added.

Facebook added that Adams “can request a review and take action if we make the wrong decision.”

In a follow-up tweet, Adams said after appealing Facebook’s decision, the social media platform “stands behind the claim that calling Biden supporters to hang their heads in shame violates community norms.”

“I wonder if they will start removing all content that attacks Trump supporters?” Adams asked.

Facebook insists that Biden supporters hang their heads in shame, violating community standards.
