Facebook restricted the account of Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate: Facebook put a hold on Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Chad Prather's account and prevented him from posting or commenting for at least 6 days, according to screenshots published by Texas Scorecord. Texas Scorecard also reported that "[a]ccording to Facebook, Prather violated community standards on harassment and bullying when he responded to a woman trolling his account and essentially told her to do more research and spare him the 'victimhood.'" The restrictions came just eight days before the Texas primary election.
