The social network has already removed protest messages in California, New Jersey and Nebraska.

Facebook is blocking anti-quarantine protesters from using the site to organize in-person gatherings in states that require residents to stay in their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The world’s largest social network has already removed protest messages in California, New Jersey and Nebraska from its site at the urging of state governments who say those events are prohibited by stay-at-home orders, a company spokesperson said.

Protesters have gathered in state capitals around the country in recent days to push back against their governments’ decisions to close non-essential businesses and requiring residents to largely isolate at home.

BTW this is better journalism than 99.9% coming out of CNNPC, MSNPC, FOXPC or any other major networks.
