I just tried it on Facebook Messenger, and it would only work when switching to a encrypted chat (which kind of makes sense).

Kind of outrageous to criticize WeChat and leave out Facebook, when it clearly wants to join the party. I realize Facebook doesn't implement the same degree of censorship as WeChat, but to be fair, I live in Japan, and even for me the joebiden.info is censored.




And even then, I remember trying to send a torrent magnet link to someone in an encrypted chat and it wouldn't go through. They're also doing some local / client-based filtering as well.


Facebook at least tells you, but yes, this is concerning.


I just visited that site.

The concerning thing is the site isn't spam and offers a political view with photos/videos of real moments that may reflect poorly on joe .

To censor that is crossing the line into censoring valid political speech.


Even the policy positions listed there are literally factual and backed with sources from CNN, NYT and government websites. There is no remotely plausible reason for that site to be blacklisted by facebook.


It's made by a person who works for Trump's campaign team, yet the language toward the bottom gives the impression the author has no affiliation with any political group. That is likely the reason behind the block.


Maybe Russians made it?


Nope I’m pretty sure it was made by a mod on /r/t_d


What’s the difference?


So funny


Exactly. Imagine Big Tech censoring a website dedicated to hosting the Trump "grab them by the pussy" tape? It would be outrageous.


And every time the censor sites like this, it just increases the size of Trumps war drum. You'd think after 2016, they'd stop the suppression route but it seems the efforts are just increasing. Makes it really hard to support anyone


Just curious, does the information on that site ever change?
