Facebook censors user for posting apparent news items about Republicans historically being allies to blacks: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of his Facebook censorship notice. The user posted a copy of a tweet that contained what seemed to be newspaper clippings explaining that "Republican President Ulysses S. Grant deployed U.S. troops on October 18, 1871, to combat violence against African Americans," "Democrats called white Republicans 'radicals,' and lynched them along with blacks," and "The Tuskegee Institute recorded that from 1882-1968 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites were lynched - the whites being 'radical' Republicans who were caught registering freed blacks to vote." Facebook claimed this violated its community standards, though it is unclear which rule was cited. The user appealed the deletion of his post, but he reported that his account was suspended for 30 days. This was unable to be confirmed.
