Facebook says it is removing "any and all mention of the potential whistleblower's name" from its platform. pic.twitter.com/yezibCohT7

Facebook tells me they are removing all mentions of the potential whistleblower's name under their "coordinated harm" policy, which prohibits outing informants.

Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, OANN, and others had posted the name in recent days.

"Any mention of the potential whistleblower's name violates our coordinating harm policy, which prohibits content 'outing of witness, informant, or activist,'" Facebook says, thus "we are removing any & all mentions of the potential whistleblower's name…" https://t.co/uBQRAKhzdh

Every minute Facebook makes millions of judgements about which speech is ok and which speech is bad.

That's ok.

Just don't believe Zuck when he says (often in the same speech) that FB is for free speech AND that it filters out garbage consistently.

Neither is true. https://t.co/R49uAul6Lm

Completely misleading title for this @washingtonpost propaganda piece by @issacstanbecker - no - zero allies have "turned on the Trump campaign" - this article only tries to justify their own failure to embrace and report on the truth...https://t.co/3sgEoJIBrL
