Facebook Moves to Suppress TEXIT Content
After Facebook spent weeks blocking links to the movement's TEXIT pages and labeling the movement dangerous, the Texas Nationalist Movement said it would fight back against the censorship.
For nearly a month, Facebook has blocked users from posting links to the TEXIT section of the Texas Nationalist Movement's website, including its answers to the most common questions about Texas independence, while labeling the movement dangerous or harmful. The platform has chosen a side in the debate, and suppression is its weapon.
That label is slander, and it cannot go unchallenged. Facebook remains the most used platform among Texans, and cutting off TEXIT information there severs the movement from millions of supporters. Facebook has even combed through groups to remove posts up to two years old that link to TEXIT content, which appears to be a run-up to deplatforming the movement entirely.
The Texas Nationalist Movement does not back down from a fight. It is documenting the suppression and preparing concrete steps to answer it, not only for the movement but for everyone affected. The censorship is also why the movement built its own mobile app and social platform earlier in the year.
