Meta Keeps Big MAGA Accounts on Ban List as Zuckerberg Lobbies Trump

A number of high-profile, pro-MAGA voices are still banned on Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms

BREITBART

Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly lobbying the Trump administration to drop a pivotal FTC case against the company, in what would amount to a major political favor for Meta. Despite Zuckerberg’s multiple olive branches to the Turmp administration, a number of high-profile, pro-MAGA voices are still banned on Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Mark Zuckerberg has made regular visits to the White House urging the president to lean on the FTC to drop its case against Meta. If the FTC were to prevail in the case, Meta could be forced to divest from WhatsApp and Instagram, breaking up the company.

In January, Zuckerberg made several public overtures to the Trump administration, praising parts of its policy platform in an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, and criticizing the outgoing Biden administration for its censorship demands during COVID. Zuckerberg also announced a policy pivot at Meta, promising to “get back to our roots” of supporting free speech.

Despite these pledges, several prominent anti-establishment figures remain banned on Meta platforms:

• Laura Loomer, investigative journalist and former Republican congressional candidate who was recently credited with influencing a shakeup at the NSC.
• Tommy Robinson, the prominent British political activist and critic of Islam.
• Alex Jones
• Paul Joseph Watson
• Gavin McInnes
• Milo Yiannopoulos, self-styled “civil rights icon” and former Breitbart News editor.

It is also unclear if Meta still maintains its “hate agents”  list of prominent anti-establishment voices uncovered by Breitbart News in 2019 that included political candidates. Or if the company has taken any steps to remedy the mass-censorship of WhatsApp accounts in Brazil, which extended to Flavio Bolsonaro, son of persecuted former president Jair Bolsonaro. In a comment to Breitbart News, the company denied it has continued to maintain its documented list of hate agents.

As the FTC trial date draws closer, Meta has drawn flak from the conservative commentariat.

Zuckerberg is full of shit. And so are all of the so called “conservatives” he brought on now that Trump is back. L

Facebook lied to me & said my account would be restored. I’m still banned.

“Zuckerberg is full of shit,” said Laura Loomer in an X post yesterday. “And so are all of the so called “conservatives” he brought on now that Trump is back. Facebook lied to me & said my account would be restored. I’m still banned.”

Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions – billions – of dollars supporting open borders, “criminal justice reform” (think – George Floyd riots) and election-fixing for Democrats and now he wants favors from the Trump administration.
