Conservative Brazilian Blogger Silenced by Facebook. Here on the Wentworth Report we occasionally link to articles by Julio Severo, a conservative Brazilian with a religious bent who has had some interesting things to say. Today we received an email from him saying that Facebook had permanently deleted his Facebook account, in the lead up to Brazilian elections:

After months of harassment, censorship and persecution, Facebook has disabled, terminated my account (https://www.facebook.com/julio.severo). This is part of its effort to stop conservative voices in this election. …

Facebook has been a relentless harasser of me for my conservative stances. For the last 14 months, Facebook punished me with their infamous 30-day blocks at least 5 times. …

I entered Facebook in 2009 because this was supposedly a free environment. Above all, because it is American and America traditionally personifies FREE SPEECH, especially conservative speech. Because this is an American company, not a Cuban or Saudi or North Korean company, I believed that Facebook would be capable of defending free speech for me and others. Not only has Facebook betrayed the American tradition of defending free speech, it has been the executor of harassment, censorship and persecution against my conservative and evangelical speech, giving an impression to the world that the current corporate America represents just this: harassment, censorship and persecution of conservative evangelicals. …

Original America was never against conservative and Christian speech. Original America, which was 98 percent Protestant, was never against evangelical conservative speech. …

Facebook’s censorship of conservative speech is worthy of Cuba, Saudi Arabia and North Korea, not of the America George Washington created and envisioned.

Sad. Another voice against our new globalist overlords has been muffled.
