Facebook Censors Alex Jones, Removes Bin Laden Image (VIDEO)

Facebook is now apparently censoring political posts which violate its "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities" as hate speech, after the social networking giant threatened to close radio host Alex Jones' account over an image of Osama Bin Laden with the words "Al-CIA-da" written underneath.

Attempting to login to Alex Jones' Facebook account, which has over 321,000 subscribers, Infowars staff were met with a message from Facebook denying access to the account until it was acknowledged that Facebook's terms had been violated.

"We removed content you posted," stated the message, underneath which was a black and white image of Osama Bin Laden with the words "Al-CIA-da" emblazoned across it. Facebook removed the image because it "violatesFacebook's Statement of RIghts and Responsibilities."

A secondary screen then warned that other infringing images should be removed if the account was to remain in good standing.

Since the image is not copyrighted, according to Facebook's terms of agreement one can only assume that it was removed because it represented an example of "hate speech," yet the picture was merely a commentary on the admitted fact that Osama Bin Laden was aided by the CIA during the cold war and that Al-Qaeda terrorists are now being supported by the Central Intelligence Agency in Syria and Libya.

Facebook advertises and poses as a public commons yet, much like Google-owned You Tube, routinely censors political content on flimsy pretexts.
