Facebook and Instagram Say It Is Okay To Support Nazism in Ukraine, and They Modify Terms Allowing Advocacy for Death to Russians
Facebook and Instagram Say It Is Okay To Support Nazism in Ukraine, and They Modify Terms Allowing Advocacy for Death to Russians March 10, 2022 Sundance
There are very few things in this world that can leave me almost speechless. This is one of them.
Dropping all pretense of their hidden ideology, Reuters is reporting exclusively that Facebook and Instagram have modified their terms and conditions to permit advocacy and support for the Nazi party in Ukraine (Azov Regiment), and they have modified their violence terms to allow platform users to advocate for death to Russians.
I don’t quite know where to begin. However, this report from Reuters does actually make sense based on some pictures that were floating around a few days ago. The pictures show U.S. military “advisors” training Ukrainian neo-Nazi’s in the Azov regiment how to use FGM-148 javelin missiles.
It would be odd if Big Tech were generically against all Nazi’s, while U.S. military advisors are in Ukraine training specific Azov Regiment Nazi’s to fight Russians. The Javelin missile system, pictured above, is what Ukraine is using to defeat Russian tanks and armored vehicles. The U.S. is sending the Ukraine military thousands of them. Apparently arming and training Nazis is okay right now.
The Reuter’s article notes: “Emails also showed that Meta would allow praise of the right-wing Azov battalion, which is normally prohibited, in a change first reported by The Intercept. Meta spokesman Joe Osborne previously said the company was “for the time being, making a narrow exception for praise of the Azov Regiment strictly in the context of defending Ukraine, or in their role as part of the Ukraine National Guard.” (link)

In the olden days this would be akin to picking up a redacted Yellow Pages phone directory.
Comrades, the Ministry of Public Information, DuckDuckGo Division, is making modifications to the internet search engine results in order to protect us from dis-information, mis-information and mal-information. Wrongthinking perspectives will no longer be acceptable.

In the article reference above Sundance mentions a Nazi connection in Ukraine. Here are two blasts from the past with lots of links about the Nazis, the American progressive left, and Jihadis.
