UPDATE: Victory!
It has long been obvious that Facebook is no friend of the freedom of speech, and is especially tough on foes of jihad terror and the massive Muslim migrant influx into the West, and so it was perhaps inevitable that this would happen: yesterday when I went to sign in to Facebook, I received a notice saying I would have to verify my identity “because it looks like you may have multiple accounts or may not be using your authentic identity.” I actually don’t have multiple accounts and am using my authentic identity, and I know other people who have gotten this notice and got right back in to Facebook by supplying them with a government-issued ID, so initially I didn’t think much was amiss. I sent them a scan of my driver’s license, only to receive another notice by email: “We’ve asked you to verify your identify because it looks like you may have multiple accounts or may not be using your authentic identity. If you’ve already tried to log in to Facebook and followed the instructions, but weren’t able to verify your identity, please reply to this email and attach an image of your government-issued photo ID to the message.”
So I sent them my driver’s license again, but received no reply. I have now sent them my driver’s license three times, and have received no further word from Facebook. 36 hours have passed, and so it is increasingly clear that this suspicion that I “may have multiple accounts” or may not be using my “authentic identity” was just a smokescreen. There is abundant reason to think so. Back in September 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel confronted Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, demanding that he censor Facebook posts opposing the Muslim migrant inundation; he agreed to do so, and indeed began doing so. Facebook has teamed up with the EU to stamp out “hate speech,” which doesn’t include death threats made to foes of jihad terror. Facebook blocked Michael Savage for posting on Muslim migrant crime; it banned a gay magazine that was critical of Islam; it temporarily removed our SIOA page right after the Orlando jihad massacre;
Facebook is so thoroughly corrupt and compromised that it has been sued by the families of jihad victims for giving jihadis a platform, and even was admonished by a U.S. Federal Court of its “moral obligation” to contain jihadist rhetoric. But it has been authorized by the Obama regime to censor “anti-Islam” speech. That’s why I think it unlikely that I will be allowed back in. Right now Jihad Watch posts are still going up automatically on the Jihad Watch Facebook page and the Robert Spencer Author Facebook page, but I don’t know how long that will last. (UPDATE: I’m told my personal page has been taken down.)
Many will say to me that I should just forget about Facebook, as it is so obviously a tool of the corrupt establishment. That is beyond dispute. The problem is that it is so widely used as to be at this point an indispensable platform. I hope that will change in the future, but right now the majority of Jihad Watch’s reader traffic comes from Facebook; if Facebook is closed off to us permanently, it will seriously diminish our reach and influence — and that is, of course, the goal.
Please contact Facebook and ask them courteously and politely that I be reinstated. (I would give you the contact info for Facebook customer support or whatever may be more pertinent, but I can’t get in to Facebook to get it.) And please help us keep getting the truth out about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, telling truths the mainstream media dares not tell and establishment politicians dare not admit. Please consider a year-old donation to Jihad Watch — via Paypal to director@jihadwatch.org. Your donation is tax-deductible. These are dark times, but the tide is definitely turning, and that makes the Leftist self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion, now threatened more than ever, more authoritarian than ever. We have to stand firm and stand fast, and never give up.

Kevin says
Ya prob the best man to advice president trump on Mid East affairs and Islam then any one else
jihad3tracker says
Hello Kevin — Pardon me for jumping in here at the top of the comment pile, but what has happened to Robert is so important and outrageous that EVERY JIHADWATCH READER SHOULD ACT IMMEDIATELY.
If you are already a heavy Facebook participant, spread the news about this fascist tactic to all possible friends at that site, AND ASK THEM TO CONTACT ALL THEIR FRIENDS.
The total persons alerted should enlarge exponentially, if we work at it diligently. And, in your future posts on Facebook, BE CLEAR REGARDING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ROBERT.
Apply whatever pressure is possible — and check with Pamela Geller (www.pamelageller.com) — Robert’s associate in the American Freedom Defense Initiative — AFDI. She will certainly put up a post for such a totalitarian Leftist attempt to silence free speech.
Bob says
would but in FB Jail again
thevilestofcreatures says
Hold on Robert, in little over a month Mr. Censorship will be back at his true calling as a community advisor instead of Commander in Chief
john spielman says
you mean community organizer – or is community disorganizer?
any way I ‘m not now, nor ever been, on FACEBOOK
but if if I was, I would drop it!
brane pilot says
The first target of fascism is the freedom of speech.
The first realm of absolute control that must be achieved is the realm of ideas.
Any doubts that Facebook is an instrument of globalist totalitarianism have been laid to rest.
At least it is now out in the open for all to see.
‘Agree with us and our agenda or we shall silence you.’
Today Facebook. Tomorrow, if they have their way, the entire Internet.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American, yeah?
Cretius says
There is no such thing as free speech if legitimate, fact based comment is censored on the internet. Radical Islam has won when political correctness replaces the truth about the nature and history of Islam.
john spielman says
they have not won yet,
Dear Robert; please Email President elect Donald Trump or General “Mad Dog” Maddox
eduardo odraude says
Can’t stand Facebook.
JawsV says
Ditto. But I think you mean Fake Book. I’ve always hated it and Zuckerberg and have never used it. Plus, I would never send those Islam-loving bastards a photo of my driver’s license.
awake says
Yep, your personal page is gone and you no longer appear in my friends list.
common sense says
I’m still getting the auto JW feed on FB. I’ll contact them and request the JW feed be reinstated to my timeline. Politely of course.
I’m still sickened and deeply offended that FB would allow pro Jihadist (no matter how well bleached) posts and not anti jihad posts. Persistance is needed on our part and at this point its to make a point even if I can’t stand for FB’s politics..
mortimer says
Zuckerberg is a virtue-signalling opportunist without a clue about the concept of freedom of expression nor the philosophy and history of it.
He is doesn’t need the money, but is too lazy to inform himself about Islamic SUPREMACISM, MISOGYNY and ISLAM-BASED HATRED OF NON-MUSLIMS (called al Walaa wal Baraa).
Zuckerberg is not aware of the hostility of Islam towards people like him.
Custos Custodum says
?uckerberg knows full well about the Islamic supremacism, misogyny and hatred of non-Muslims. To ?uckerberg, these are just irrelevant details when the real aim is to suck up to those more powerful than himself.
When ?uckerberg hears of “supremacism,” his instinct is to want to be on the side of the supremacists. This is understandable human weakness, but hardly noble behavior.
Remember the time when ?uckerberg, speaking Chinese, asked the Chinese leader to name ?uckerberg’s new-born daughter, but was blown off?
Stan Lee says
First, I locked out newspapper delivery to my home, next I decided not to allow CBS,ABC, NPR, NBC, CNBC, and CNN into my home. My blockade has been literally for years. I manage to be well-informed via “Talk Radio,: Fox News, Fox Business, Newmax TV, and OANN. There are plenty of news mediums without the professional liars whom I’ve shut off.
It just required the breaking of old habits, not that I’d believe them if I read or heard them anyway, but while I was at it, I did not want to contribute any “pluses” to their network ratings. Anyone who cares to exclude the leftist provocateurs can do it, it really is effortless. Oh yes, Facebook, Twitter, I have no time for that childish crap, either. Break those psychological chains, America!
Byzantium1683 says
Ehh, after trump won, most people around me were still leftist, and crying haha.
So I continue to have great doubts about stopping the madness, but at least trump got in. That’s a start, even if it didn’t change anyone’s opinion (in Canada anyway) of course, spencer is often right, and I hope he is right about this.
You know, people complain about fake right wing news on facebook, but really, pretty much every other media outlet is controlled by the far-left. And these people think one or two obviously false adds on facebook constitute the media?
Maybe that’s part of the problem…
Champ says
‘Truth is the new hate speech’ …and it appears that Facebook has fallen for this.
David says
I just checked and your page is up. And I pressed “like”. Much overdue.
Mikeyboy says
We are in desperate need of a platform like facebook for real truth that wont be censored!! We can also use a truth news network for tv as well..
Paul says
I guess I should be grateful that thus far my site and I haven’t been sent to Facebook jail. Nevertheless, I will pass this on. Sadly, I’m seeing this happen more and more. It’s like fascist or communist controlled propaganda machine, but shouldn’t be too surprised. After all, we’re ruled by an neo-fascist Oligarchy these days.

davej says
Unfortunately the Islamist concept of “blasphemy”, based on “hurt feelings” and with no regard to the facts has managed to insinuate itself into the West, encouraged by Saudi funded “human rights studies”.
The background drumbeat of threats and acts of violence causes a subtle bias in the way we now think of free speech. This is how bullies and gang members work, at least until they are exposed and confronted.
TJ says
When I was on facebook I posted a comment that I was interested in studying the bible and looking in it for evidence God will ever intervene against murder. A short time later the statement was scrubbed from my facebook page by the censors there. So I decided to quit facebook.
Ashley says
I’m sorry to hear this, Robert.
Facebook sucks, and has sucked for a very long time.
On a more urgent note…I’m more than a little alarmed that FB is in possession of your personal information. A driver’s license carries all sorts of sensitive data…age, birthday, residence. I’m not feeling too cozy that those that want to silence you have access to such personal information.
I know you don’t want to hear it, but I say good riddance. Those that followed you on FB will soon realize what has happened. Frankly, I think you give FB too much credit and power. I can understand your need to spread the word of the jihadi threat far and wide. Trump has been elected. Thanks to you, Pamela and most that read and/or contribute here, the word has spread like wildfire. You don’t need FB, Robert. Zuckerberg now has egg on his face.
I know you see this as some sort of defeat, but I don’t. Not too bright for FB to silence the messenger. May the backlash be swift and severe. Tell the world about this injustice. Keep writing your books. Keep this forum open. Keep up with your media appearances.
But most of all…keep safe.
All my best,
Ashley
Stuart Smith says
This morning 14/12/2016 tried to log on to Facebook and have been banned for 30 days, my offence telling the truth, we had an MP Jo Cox killed in the UK people were praising her, however I pointed out she did not give a toss about her people as she ignored the plight of 1,400 girls raped and abused by muslims some 10 miles from her, and wanted to import thousands more muslim rapists into our country.
You cannot contact Facebook to ask why you were banned for telling the truth, I have been banned before now telling the truth, the free world better wake up to these underhand methods, bet the people who banned me are muslim terrorist supporters working for FB,
JawsV says
Can’t stand Jo Cox. She was for letting in the Mohammedans and more and more Mohammedans into the UK. What a moron.
Custos Custodum says
Even posthumously, Jo Cox is still causing havoc.
Jo Cox’ supporters have been asked to contribute to the “White Helmets,” a hard-Left front group working hand-in-glove with IS in Syria to create and spread pro-jihadist propaganda and to cover up rapes and murders of civilians.

Very strange. I’ve said this, and many similar comments, **many** times on fb, and have never been banned.
I think it must have to do with slimy little leftards complaining, but that doesn’t explain why you’ve been banned, and I not. Perhaps they just haven’t noticed mine ! 🙂
Stuart Smith says
I have noticed people saying similar to me, and worse but not banned, and some saying exactly the same but not banned, does not add up at all. Very selective.
RB says
Robert, Jihad Watch page on FB (at https://www.facebook.com/JihadWatch/) still works.
It it also showing the article about Facebook censorship.
Thanks,
marc says
It’s his personal profile page that has been banned, others manage that public page, so it’s still available.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the additional information, Marc.
Ronen says
The whole thing is sickening and disgusting.
By the way, how could anyone even stand this stupid network? As I see it Mr. Spencer was given a present.
JawsV says
Like Islam, Fake Book is a curse and plague on the world. Zuckerberg is a creep.
Tommy says
Beware JW, you’ll be banned off the internet, because Obama gave it to the UN.

Ed Lee says
There are 2 words to describe Facebook; frivolous and dangerous. Social media diverts your time and attention away from producing work that matters and toward convincing the world that you matter. Don’t fall into the narcissism trap.
Westman says
I’ve noticed, recently, that Microsoft is running diversity ads during “The Voice”; continuing the manipulation of youth to believe all ideologies are equal.
The age of technology has created an environment in which social power and wealth can be gained through innovation while the new magnate is berefit of experience. Mr. Zuckerburg may consider himself to be “the smartest person in the room” while forgetting that he is not the wisest person in the room.
Unfortunately, business ethics, which boil down to “maximizing shareholder profits”, like Islam, have no allegiance to any nation. It is ironic that the most powerful voices of influence only care about humans as consumers and taxible entities.
Facebook, Microsoft, and a host of others are simply making the choices that bring in the bacon. That they could destroy our nation in the process doesn’t cross their mind and if it did, would be shrugged off with, “Our one company can’t make much difference”.
This “global over national” priority is more dangerous to our citizens than any external enemy. The ultimate outcome of globalization is the submission of nations to one-world government. Sound familiar? Our multi-national corporations and Islam are working for the same outcome – both seditious.
Bumping Mr. Spencer off Facebook was not a moral decision, it was a profit driven decision in response to threats and complaints by Muslim and leftist consumers. The only solution is enough of the same, supporting Mr. Spencer.
Perhaps it’s time for the “right” to dump Facebook, the WaPo, NyTimes, and the like, and create their own networked media. We could give it empetus by boycotting every business that tries to sell us leftist ideology and globalism.
Troybeam says
Westman, you are correct that Islam had a voice in Facebook bumping Robert Spencer, the liberal left is not interested in learning the aspect of Islamic takeover therefore Islam will use them to further that cause.
Best solution close your Facebook account, money is what talks so does closed accounts also supports who PAY Facebook for adds who disagree with the action against Spencer, withdraw your adds and look else where.
D-spot says
Never wanted it, never used it and definitely never needed it – there are always other options.
BLC says
I don’t use Facebook and I certainly won’t use it after reading this article.
james collins says
looks like your up again on FB Robert. Good to go as far far as I can see!
Westman says
You don’t suppose this was a “mistake” by their new infant Artificial Intelligence policing software?
Letting a software program determine the censorship of a human really is a road to tyranny. The ruling class reliance on the tools of the “Minority Report” may not be far off as they try to guard their privilege in a world, whose chaos, they created.
Angemon says
Westman posted:
“You don’t suppose this was a “mistake” by their new infant Artificial Intelligence policing software? ”
This would be my first guess. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences with automated tools. Paypal, for example, found my regular adding and removing of credit cards (I use disposable, virtual credit cards for online purchases) “suspicious”, and cancelled some of my transactions a while back, getting me into trouble with online vendors of digital goods because having a transaction nullified after getting my goods made it seem like I was trying to scam them. Had to send PP a scan of my country’s ID card 3 times until it was accepted – they kept asking for my address until I wrote that info such as my address was coded into the ID card’s chip and not written in the card itself.
gretel says
They put me in the naughty corner twice, then permanently disabled by acc. It’s not for me. Twitter works better. I joined GAB but it’s a bit harder to use than twitter.
pdxnag says
Consider the logic. I am morally superior to you because I have the power to shut you up. It is a perfect model for tyrannical government, and implementation of Hillary’s UN Resolution 16/18 in favor of top level Islamic moral supremacists.
As we all know, from Obama: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
All opposition to total Islamification of Everything must be made invisible, or erased. It proves their moral supremacy. Consider the logic.
The First Amendment against government censorship, considering the never ending tendency of the powerful to suppress all opposition to their tyrannical rule, remains the most prescient and radical tool ever devised to promote individual liberty against tyrants.
carol says
Pdxnag…
That just sunk in: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Anyone who’d say that must be mental. It’s a totally brainwashed, alien, oppressive statement and with it Obama clearly proves he’s a suck-up traitor who should be kicked out of the nation.
You also mention efforts to make opposition invisible as “it proves their moral supremacy”. I think what they’re really after is to dishearten and discourage everyone who is not a fanatic like themselves.
Just remember that ALL this ideology has behind it is MONEY and INTIMIDATION. It has no worth or validity to intelligent people who’ve escaped its brainwashing. I hope Trump has good ideas as to how to shipwreck this obsolete pirate.

Guy Macher says
I ditched Facebook. I encourage sane people to boycott Fb,
Praeceptor Maximus says
I don’t have a Facebook account nor a Twitter account. I have even boycotted mainstream news here in Australia. I get my news from Fox and other alternate media. Mark Zuckerberg is abusing his powers. Facebook might be a private company but it operates like a public domain. I CANNOT wait for the time when Trump takes office and then Zuckerfuckingberg can be sued. All these truth-hating Muslim-lovers will have their day of reckoning soon enough.
Kathy says
Trump will apply even more censorship!!!
Richard Paulsen says
They are clever in stopping critics of islam. So up and down and against all views supporting freedom and democracy.
Swedish Democrats, a democratic party in the Riksdag (parliament) never being invited to the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Sweden. It is the only party in the Riksdag critical of islamization.
The Nobel committe stating that the Swedish Democrats do not fit in with the values stated in the Alfred Nobel Testimony. Alfred Nobel never was outside Europe. Family from Russia originally. Clever family.
The real reason of course is the power and influence of the arabstates. They can not stand critics of any sort.
Yet another mosque now being planned in Sweden. Cost some 50-60 million crowns. In a classical town named Karlstad (“The town of (king) Charles”). Nothing stopping, no demonstrations against, no leading politician saying it is against swedish values.
Politicians in the Community saying okay one after the other except for the Swedish Democrats. Media reporting but not criticizing.
Strange majority is voting for such parties (7 out of eight) election after election. Politics never changing. Impossible to understand.
Should be the other way around. Islamization being stopped, islam forbidden. As is the case with Christianity and Judaism believes in Arab states. Equality should rule.
Larry A. Singleton says
Go post on this fascist’s Fakebook page and tell him what you think. And don’t bother to be polite. This is a traitor who shills for Black Lives Matter and runs interference for Palestinian terrorists. Let those psychophants who leave comments slobbering all over this “great guy” know who he really is and what side he’s on when it comes to Israel.
Brian Hunter says
So you need a photo ID to be on facebook but not to vote. Only to leftists would this make sense.

You Sir are a very Great Man, a Great American, and a wonderful Resource for us that are struggling to understand why such an obvious Cult, is killing us, and our Politicians lying about Islam being a religion of peace.
You are brave, because these people are unstable, so your life could be at risk. Should this happen again, please advises us, how to support you, I for one will follow it to the letter.
Ronald says
Robert, make contact with D.Trump, and make contact with his daughter as well. You probably need them. We need a turning point about the islamisation. It is urgent. Time is running out.
Trump can be a game changer and safe our lifestyle for the next 100 years or more.
If you don’t do this. Explain me why
Kathy says
I had a nice profile with a lots of activist posts, but Facebook locked me out at the beginning of last year, requiring me to send them a copy of my legal ID, with photo, and also my private phone number, if I want to continue using my profile! Then I heard about more similar cases with other activists, that want to share the truth about what governments, corporations and others that think they own this world, and consider us our slaves – as well as the (remains of the) nature…
Of course I dis not want to send them my details, as I KNOW who is really behind that “social media” – it is CIA and NSA (when I posted that, they locked me out soon after that, because it is true – these American agencies control and use all the data about all the users on Facebook; I did not post any of my private photos and even my real name, so that’s why they wanted me to provide all my private data, to have my complete profile).
I did not trust them before, and now not at all, and would NEVER use that “social media” again! Think about their name: FACE-BOOK, is says all! (Just to remind you – they have the most delicate softwares for facial recognition.)
Kathy says
Correction of the sentence above:
