wip In November, an auction was held on Facebook in which a child bride was put up for sale in a public post. People openly bid on Facebook for a 16-year-old girl.
Facebook claims they removed the post, but this wasn’t until the auction had ended and the girl had been sold.
As FOX 59 reports, according to children’s rights organization Plan International, the girl was bid on by five men, some of whom were reportedly high-ranking South Sudanese government officials.
George Otim, Plan International’s country director in South Sudan, where the auction took place, said: “That a girl could be sold for marriage on the world’s biggest social networking site in this day and age is beyond belief.”
We agree.
As Facebook doles out bans for photos of ET, deletes pages with millions of followers for promoting peace, and censors alternative media, the post selling a human child to a life of slavery was allowed to remain up for 15 days. But that’s not all.
If Facebook is worried about “dangerous” content then why are they openly defending and allowing actual calls for the death of billions of people. Last year, the page Red & Black Anarchist posted a meme literally calling for the death of hundreds of millions of people, and when it was reported, Facebook said it didn’t violate their terms. Seriously.
In fact, the Red and Black Anarchist page is still up and they just so happen to be celebrating the recent purge of Alex Jones and the like.
Of course, we aren’t advocating for their removal either—although calling for the killing of anyone is illegal and should’ve raised multiple red flags.
In what can be referred to as a horrifying irony these bans come just one day before May 3rd, which is ‘World Press Freedom Day’. On this day to celebrate the freedom of press, the West is banning free press, imprisoning Julian Assange who’s never had to issue a retraction, and calling for the silencing and even imprisonment of organizations and individuals who advocate for vaccine safety. This is 2019 ladies and gentlemen. Remember, like we said last year before all this began — first they came for Alex Jones.
