ORWELLIAN: Facebook Bans Page Organizing US Trucker Convoy To DC

A popular Facebook group for American truckers planning to protest against Covid-19 related mandates was purged by the social media platform Wednesday, leading to accusations of “censorship.”

The group, which was called “Convoy to DC 2022,” had at least 137,00 members prior to its removal. It was inspired in large part by the Canadian freedom convoy taking place in Ottawa and other cities throughout the nation, which Big League Politics recently covered here.

Jeremy Johnson, who is the group creator and one of the U.S. protest organizers, told Fox News Wednesday that Facebook’s action was “censorship at its finest.”

“They like to silence people that speak the truth,” Johnson said of his group’s ban.
