Social media giant back to its old ways despite much heralded meeting with conservatives
Just days after Facebook met with conservatives over concerns about the social media giant’s left-wing bias, conservative pages are still being banned.
According to conservative commentator Lauren Southern, Facebook has banned all the moderator accounts that ran the ‘Disdain For Plebs’ page, which had over 176,000 likes.

The ban came after a post was removed which merely argued that Donald Trump was not anti-Muslim.

Another moderator was apparently banned for making fun of Facebook’s censorship.
The moderator of Disdain for Plebs was just banned and they deleted his post saying "~we aren't censoring conservatives~" making fun of FB.

She was then blocked for 30 days for saying Facebook is censoring conservatives.

She then sardonically asked Glenn Beck for help. According to Tucker Carlson, during his meeting with Mark Zuckerberg, Beck “sucked up” to the Facebook founder.
