Facebook Removes Declaration of Independence Excerpt for 'Hate Speech' | Breitbart:
Facebook removed an excerpt from the U.S. Declaration of Independence, claiming the text violated the social network’s policies on “hate speech.”
The Liberty County Vindicator had been uploading the Declaration of Independence in parts to their Facebook page, only for the tenth part to be removed by the social network.
The text was as follows:
- Worse still, the decision was not written by Amy Barrett.
- Not only was Barrett not present on the three-judge panel that rendered the verdict, but she didn’t even take her place on the Seventh Circuit until November, 2017 — five months after the case was concluded.
- In fact, the ruling was penned by Judge Diane Sykes — a woman, certainly, but a completely different one.
COMMENTS
- Nor was Judge Barrett involved in any subsequent litigation, save for joining a majority of the Seventh Circuit in refusing to hear a subsequent appeal en banc.
