Facebook is banning all QAnon accounts from its platforms as part of its move to block “militarized social movements” from operating and organizing online, the social media giant announced Tuesday.
The move, which also extends to Instagram, represents the company’s strongest response yet to the controversial online right-wing conspiracy movement that has increasingly inserted itself into the nation’s political discourse.
“Starting today, we will remove Facebook pages, groups, and Instagram accounts for representing QAnon,” the company said in a press release. “We’re starting to enforce this updated policy today and are removing content accordingly, but this work will take time and will continue in the coming days and weeks.”

I would take this effort more seriously if they could point to ANY right wing military social movement. Please! Point to any such movement anywhere. It's all socialists and communists causing the damage to cities and causing trouble.

So Antifa can't be far behind obviously. Don't even get me started on Crios and Bloods flashing their guns drugs and cash. Knew there was a reason I don't have a Face Plant account.

This is an interesting experiment in adaptive systems and natural selection. If the information that QAnon disseminates is not useful in predicting future events or protecting one's health or safety then this banning will have no effect. If the QAnon information does provide a benefit for those who use it they will find an alternative channel to Facebook and eventually this will replace Facebook as more and more people switch over to the QAnon channel for better information.
Facebook depends on the wisdom of crowds to make its services useful and if they corrupt this function they will destroy their value as people drop out.

I'm still not sure what qAnon is. Someone sent the video to me and after half an hour or so of it, showing layers of multifarious coincidences, i fell asleep. :-/
It kind of reminded me of Umberto Eco. Now just this very minute i looked him up because i couldn't remember the title of the novel of his i read eons ago (and did not like the dark, byzantine atmosphere... it creeped me out) and so there it is on google: Eco remarks about Trump. And i just can not read one more vicious, mendacious thing casting stupid aspersions about our President.
Most of my experience with studying clandestine things has to do with decades of study of communist ideologies, the Russian revolution and aftermath, Eurocommunism and the like. There's enough espionage in reality. And our Republic is in grave danger. Forget about anything else. Our President is under assault like never before, and he needs to recuperate.
If conspiracy theories pop up, pray for wisdom and discernment. We have 4 weeks. Pray for the Trump team and all supporters.

I suppose this means that there is a lot of truth coming out of Qanon.

Qanon wants to expose child molesters. Therefore, Facebook is against Qanon.

Facebook is just another commie/liberal organ like the lame stream media...I dropped my id a long time ago after the threw me in 'jail' 5 or 6 times for posting the TRUTH about muslims...and I've never used any of the other social platforms...they can all kiss my conservative posterior...

This is being done in advance of the election. I imagine it’s just the beginning of banned groups.

These violent and powerful right wing groups must be pitifully bad at what they do because I've seen absolutely nothing they've done, and I'm quite sure the media wouldn't be shy about reporting it. lol.

"militarized"? Not yet, but if you keep on picking and pushing we could decide to go that route.

If, God forbid, Biden were elected, crackdowns on all things conservative would make our heads spin.

They allow ISIS and al Qaeda. I don;t need any more proof that QAnon is legitimate.
