#StopFacebookCensorship

On John Lennon's birthday October 9, 2016 we urge people throughout the world to call for an end to the political censorship by Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.
Zuckerberg has even censored the photo of a world famous Vietnamese girl who had been napalmed by the US military in Vietnam. This was exposed and stopped when the government of Norway and the largest newspaper Aftenposten protested and attacked this censorship by posting the picture on government and newspaper sites. This was replicated by thousands of outraged people in Norway and around the world.

Imagine during the Vietnam war, the reaction by John Lennon if Zuckerberg had censored a photo of the war crimes of the US government. Today Zuckerberg is also openly colluding with the Israeli government and Netanyahu to censor facebook posts which are exposing the war crimes and apartheid against Palestinians. This is not new since they have been censoring and deleting thousands of pages and comments that they deem offensive or politically embarrassing to the Israeli government. Now, it seems like Facebook is imposing its concept of "community standards" by censoring news about the hunger striking women in immigration detention camps in Arizona, news about Jill Stein's interview by PBS NewsHour that was heavily edited by PBS and took out the important TPP response, as well as well as BLOCKING the livestreaming of independent news organizations and people while they are being arrested at STANDING ROCK for defending their sacred lands and water against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Facebook and Zuckerberg are overstepping their reach. If the internet is to be truly free, we can't allow any company to have so much power over our 1st amendment right to KNOW about and our right to INFORM others about hurman rights or environmental justice struggles and about the destruction of our earth.
