EXCLUSIVE: Diamond and Silk Call on Trump to Probe Social Media Giants
The outspoken pro-Trump duo made the call two days after they took to their Facebook page on Friday to say that they were informed by Facebook that the Internet giant deemed their content and videos to be “unsafe to the community.”
Diamond and Silk allege their reach on Facebook has been minimized and that a large number of their followers on the platform no longer receive notifications for new posts.
Facebook did not immediately return a Breitbart News request for comment on the issue.
Like other Internet giants, Facebook is a private company and users are subject to the platform’s content policies. Diamond and Silk, however, alleged that they are being singed out due to their pro-Trump views.
They addressed the issue Sunday in an interview on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia.
With Silk chiming in approvingly, Diamond suggested a government investigation of social media giants.
“I don’t believe in big government, but I do believe that maybe our government should look at the social media platforms,” Diamond said. “Because let me tell you something, they dominate about 90% of the world now. Think about that. I’m talking about the world. Not just the United States. I’m talking about the world. So that means that they can silence your voice and it will only be one point of view and that is...
TRUMP HAS A DELICIOUSLY NASTY SURPRISE IN STORE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
The program allowed illegals caught by ICE to avoid detainment so long as they agreed to appear in court later for formal deportation hearings. But barely any illegals ever showed up.
Last week’s move by the president marked the second time he ordered an end to “catch and release.” He tried stopping it last year, but due to a lack of resources, the program continued.
What makes the president’s most recent attempt to halt “catch and release” notable is that this time he “asked Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to produce a list of military facilities that could be used to detain illegal immigrants,” according to Reuters.
Cue the New York Post:
The federal government currently uses 109 facilities across the country to hold about 40,000 immigrants threatened with deportation, including six in New Jersey and one in upstate Orange County.
More than a third of these centers — which include county jails, for-profit lockups run by private contractors, and ICE’s own facilities — are already clustered along the southern border in Texas, Arizona and California.
But they contain far too little space to house the more than 300,000 border crossers who were apprehended in the southwest in 2017 alone.
Trump’s order could add an unspecified number of additional holding areas. Some of them, the order said, may be created in modified or re-purposed military facilities.
Because of Trump’s praiseworthy willingness to really tackle illegal immigration (versus just spouting talking points but never following through), illegals are now terrified.
“People are panicked,” Stephanie Teatro, the co-executive director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, said recently to The Washington Post. “People are terrified to drive. People are terrified to leave their homes.”
Many actual Americans are likewise horrified at the prospect of being murdered or raped by an illegal immigrant, but who cares, right?
The Post’s story specifically concerned a federal raid on a meat-processing plant in Tennessee that nabbed 86 illegals. Coupled with Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the southern border, end “catch and release” and now push for the launch of Club Pablo (as I call them), illegals have every reason on Earth to be terrified.
And you know what? I ain’t one bit bothered by it. Those who choose to flout our laws deserve...
