This is a scary development. Perhaps it's not quite as scary as the revelations in the disappearance and possible murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by agents of the Saudi royal family, but in some ways scarier considering the number people who have suddenly lost sources of information outside the mainstream.
Today 800 pages were purged from Facebook. All dissident thought. @AntiMedia’s Twitter account was suspended as well soon after. Then @Freethoughtproject was suspended on Twitter soon after. FB and Twitter are working together to crush all anti-establishment voices.

Without warning or explanation, #Facebook just unpublished hundreds of pages including independent media outlets with millions of followers. Make no mistake, this is an extreme act of censoring the truth. #censorship pic.twitter.com/J54bPcmgBA

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than what the NYT and WaPo deem worthy of printing.
