“Facebook and Instagram are censoring a New York Post report detailing how Black Lives Matter Co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has spent $3.2 million on luxury homes in predominantly white neighborhoods.”
“Last month, the BLM leader purchased a $1.4 million home in Los Angeles in a mostly white neighborhood. After journalist Jason Whitlock posted about the controversy last week, Twitter removed the post and claimed Whitlock’s account “violated the Twitter rules” for “posting private information,” when in fact, this information is publicly available.”
“Facebook and Instagram have followed suit and attempted to conceal the public information. When a user attempts to share a link to the Post’s story, they are blocked from doing so, then notified that “the link goes against our community standards.””
“Currently, Facebook and Instagram permit users to repost an initial article by The New York Post on the $1.4 million home purchased in Los Angeles. For some reason, the platform is not allowing the follow-up piece to be redistributed.”

“Facebook has stopped users from sharing articles by DailyMail.com about a BLM founder Patrisse Cullors’ multi-million dollar property empire while users were allowed to share it from other outlets.”
“Users that wanted to share links to the DailyMail.com were met with a message that said it ‘couldn’t be shared.'”
“‘This content was removed for violating our privacy and personal information policy,’ a Facebook spokesperson told DailyMail.com.”
“It’s not the first time Facebook has censored content from conservative voices. Just last month, the social media platform removed a video interview from Lara Trump, interviewing her father-in-law, Donald Trump.”
“Readers of the NY Post on Facebook were also blocked from sharing a story about Cullors’ multi-million-dollar property holdings.”
“The social media giant noted ‘We also provide people ways to report imagery that they believe to be in violation of their privacy rights,’ which appears to suggest that the removal may have been requested by BLM founder Patrisse Cullors.”
“Twitter recently suspended sports writer Jason Whitlock for sharing the story.”
