We have just been given the details of the post that caused the 10 people behind the infamous “Stop the Mosque in Bendigo” to be banned—some as long as 30 days—from using Facebook.
The Admins posted this comment this morning:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Hi Guys we are back after Facebook placed a ban on EVERY admin and EVERY editor associated with the page (All 10 of us). Finally folks it is undeniable—we now live under censorship.
The offending post concerned a Breitbart report on asylum centres in Germany. Perhaps the most troubling issue for us, is that a deal Facebook made with Merkel on repressing info about asylum seekers now impacts people in other sovereign nations like Australia. How can a deal done over there in Europe between Facebook and Merkel stop us talking about a similar issue we face here and guaranteed under law by our 18D legislation?
This is wrong. If Merkel wants to delude her own population—fair enough, she will have to face them next election, but to stop Australians learning about an issue in her country from an American media house and commenting on it is global censorship by Facebook, and this is wrong. Breitbart is a legit media organisation. Our comment was also legit
Are we going to do something about it—YOU BETCHA. The question is…will you back us up? Like and Share if you agree.
This is the Facebook Advice received by one of the admins when they logged on 13th February 2016.
This is the actual article from Breitbart in London, by Chris Tomlinson that we posted. (Our comment is below it.)
And what was the offending comment raised by Stop the Mosque in Bendigo?
“Muslim men need to be housed on their own….”
Looks like the Aussie calling “a spade”— a spade—is now deemed by Facebook as politically incorrect and worthy of censorship not just of the person making the comment…but everyone associated with the page.
COMMENT:
(It has also been suggested that the ban could have been political muscle to do with this post—a week before on 7th February. Where Stop The Mosque in Bendigo revealed the page was more popular than any of the major Australian Political Parties on facebook—Either way the intention was to have the page silenced and that it was—for three days.)

That little rich billionaire that owns facebook and who has apparently converted to moslem is getting a bit too full of his own shit and needs to grow up and smell the roses, converting to muslim will not save you idiot they will just bleed you dry of cash then cut off your head cant come soon enough….
The scum who owns it was offered US $250billion for the sale of FB. Offered by a saudi arabian prince if I remember right stating he wanted to buy it due to an overwhelming of “pro-democracy”. Obviously he wanted to completely control fb by owning it. Scum didn’t sell it but promised to deal with it by cencoring, banning and applying strict control to avoid over exposure or perhaps offending non human beings that we are so familiar with these days. Well, I guess the truth hurts.
I’m on a Vet pension…….I don’t have much money left by I will find some, I own my voice, my body & soul…..whatever you need from just ask….This is Australia, not Saudi Arabia we will not be silenced. to many great Aussies gave their lives so that we could have a voice. Start with a class action against Fuckerberg. Check with our American & British Patriots because I’m pretty sure that is what they are doing.
If Facebook want to censor something they can because they own and run it…If you want to talk about this stuff find somewhere else on the internet. It’s that simple.
Farcebook is totally out of order. That scumbag turd that owns it needs some attitude adjustment! My bad attitude will adjust his attitude big time.
Hi Guys, this censorship has become unbearable on Facebook. There is a site that is actually better to use than Facebook, (once you get used to it), that is called MeWe. There is no censorship and they respect your privacy and your right to own what you post. We have a small but growing group called “Australian Patriots” on there, and I invite you all to join us. Perhaps even start your own Stop the Mosque group too. Here is an invite to our group> https://mewe.com/join/australian_patriots
I am with you - as much as I can spare out of my pension.
Watch the Stop the Mosque Page…
I believe they are considering Human Rights action. Can you imagine taking on Facebook?
I support you. What do you want me to do besides share?
What do you need as support?
I’ve had almost exactly the same thing happen to me and the admins on the God or Absurdity Facebook page that I run. Speaking the truth about Islam and the immigration crisis is becoming more and more censored. http://godorabsurdity.blogspot.co.nz/2016/01/facebook-keep-censoring-my-posts-on.html
