No. of Recommendations: 16
A couple of weeks ago in the middle of the No Kings get out the vote rally, Meta's Instagram locked the No Kings account. Even the account owners were not able to access it.
Now Meta is getting involved in the Florida Senate race. According to Heather Cox Richardson post late last night:
Tonight Angie Nixon, the Democratic state representative who is running for the U.S. Senate from Florida wrote in a social media post addressed to Meta that her campaign’s Instagram page “was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from” a “get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community.”
“This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community,” she wrote. “With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.”
She continued: “The stakes are too high to take down pages encouraging people to vote in seven days, Meta & Instagram.”
Meta believes strongly in their freedom of speech. Not yours, not mine, not Angie Nixon's - only theirs.
