After being called a fag by a left-leaning weekly, a right-wing Hungarian museum director has shared the post on Facebook, which quickly disabled his entry, as well as his comments on the social media giant blocking his post. His comments, however, remained intact on the weekly s social media account. Facebook s use of double standards is nothing new, as the case if far from unique.

„So after Narancs has called me a faggot, I made a screenshot of the entry and shared it with a caption saying Magyar Narancs has called me a faggot, and Facebook disabled my post. The promo of the original article with the title is still there on the Facebook page of Magyar Narancs,” museum director Szilard Demeter explains to Hungarian news portal Origo.

The museum director finds Facebook s move outrageous, arguing that his post was simply blocked because of the use of the word „faggot”.

„In a single search, I found a Facebook community called Faggot New Wave , with around 600 members, and they are probably not banned from using the word, and that s perfectly fine. This implies that it s not the words or their meaning that matter, but who uses them,” he concludes.

Facebook s use of double standards is nothing new. The social media site s trusted censors have been found on numerous occasions to be more inclined to block the posts of right-wing, conservative individuals than the newsfeed entries of leftist, liberal people.

Facebook began implementing its toughest-ever censorship of right-wing, conservative voices last May, just weeks ahead of the European parliamentary elections. Back then hosts of people were banned and banished from the site for good. Victims of the cleansing included, among others, Alex Jones s Infowars site, Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes. Yiannopoulos, Loomer, and Watson were „guilty” of criticising Islamic radicalism, exaggerated feminism, ecological hysteria and political correctness, meaning they „confronted” the liberal principles followed by Facebook s managers.

At the time, the socia media giant s spokesperson issued a statement stressing that „We ve always banned individuals or organisations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology. The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.”

Facebook has also removed posts and ads from Donald Trump s 2020 re-election campaign. The Trump ads in question read „Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups are running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem. They are DESTROYING our cities and rioting – it s absolute madness. It s important that EVERY American comes together at a time like this to send a united message that we will not stand for their radical actions any longer. We re calling on YOU to make a public statement and add your name to stand with President Trump against ANTIFA.”

Facebook said the problem was that the ads featured a down-pointing triangle, which was „strikingly similar to notorious Nazi symbols denoting political prisoners in World War II concentration camps.” „We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate,” a Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Variety. In response the Trump campaign claimed that the down-pointing red triangle is „a symbol widely used by Antifa.„
