UPDATE: Facebook Deletes Policy Allowing Violent Threats Against “Dangerous Individuals”
Social media giant backs down after backlash.
Facebook has deleted a policy update that informed users it was acceptable to post violent threats against people deemed “dangerous individuals” by the company.
As we highlighted yesterday, a Community Standards update published by Facebook on July 9 stated (emphasis mine); “Do not post: Threats that could lead to death (and other forms of high-severity violence) of any target(s) where threat is defined as any of the following:
Statements of intent to commit high-severity violence; or
Calls for high-severity violence (unless the target is an organization or individual covered in the Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy)….”
“Dangerous individuals” includes me, because this was the designation under which I was banned by Facebook back in May.
Facebook literally put in place a policy that allowed death threats to be sent to people Facebook doesn’t like, which is completely illegal in virtually all developed countries.
Following a backlash, Facebook has completely deleted the section that allowed violence to be incited against “dangerous individuals”.
They now claim their language was “imprecise,” which is the Orwellian understatement of the century.
Facebook's RESPONSE for their policy change that had APPROVED violence against @PrisonPlanet and others?
It was "Imprecise."
"The language we previously used to describe our policies against violence and incitement was imprecise." https://t.co/ywZwggHbIp pic.twitter.com/QEWQSi35ti

There is no indication on Facebook’s Community Standards page that this change was made. The original text has simply been deleted.
Perhaps Facebook is hoping that no one noticed. Unfortunately for them, the Internet is forever.

Candace Owens is suing Facebook ‘fact checkers’ for falsely labeling her posts as fake news, which caused her entire account to be demonetized.
She has a strong case which exposes the ‘fact checkers’ for precisely what they are – parasitical left-wing front groups that exist solely to censor dissident content.

Students at UK University Demand the Word “Black” be Banned From Lectures & Textbooks
Say words with negative connotations should be abolished due to Black Lives Matter movement.
Students at Manchester University have demanded that the word “black” when used as a negative expression such as the word “blackmail” should be banned because it is “divisive.”
Yes, really.
The complaint was prompted by a university study surround issues affecting Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and faculty.
Citing concerns of black people, the report noted that there were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black sheep.”
After the report labeled the use of words which included “black” and “divisive and not inclusive,” the university’s student union demanded that “any other use of the word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative connotations” should be banned in research papers, lecture slides, and books published by professors.
Students claimed that such words were based on a “colonial history” and should be abolished in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
However, Lexicographer Jonathon Green pointed out that such claims were completely erroneous given that the background environment of “identity politics” “simply wasn’t there at the moment of coinage.”
As in America, many students have been indoctrinated to believe that one of the primary purposes for going to university is to lobby for speech and words to be banned.
Back in September, Bristol University announced that it would crack down on “diet culture and fatphobia” language so as not to offend obese people and those with eating disorder.
