Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Facebook and Twitter censor Jihad Watch, block thousands from reading it

Mar 3, 2017 9:01 am By Robert Spencer

The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves, but a trifle more vulgarly, I suspect, than facts even usually do.

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 2, 2017: 16,683
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 2, 2017: 1,051

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 6, 2017: 12,882
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 7, 2017: 1,880

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 7, 2017: 23,783
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 7, 2017: 1,718

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 8, 2017: 18,926
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 8, 2017: 1,091

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 9, 2017: 11,914
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 9, 2017: 974

And then the very next day:

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 10, 2017: 2,923
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 10, 2017: 295

The dropoff has continued:

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 20, 2017: 3,408
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 20, 2017: 416

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, February 27, 2017: 2,369
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, February 27, 2017: 329

Referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook, March 2, 2017: 1,645
Referrals to Jihad Watch from Twitter, March 2, 2017: 206

Did thousands of people who used to click on Jihad Watch articles from Facebook and Twitter suddenly on February 10 lose interest? Of course not. This is what happened: Facebook and Twitter are censoring Jihad Watch as “hate speech.” Now, I do not accept and will never accept the idea that reporting on jihad activity and Sharia oppression constitutes “hate speech,” but that is, of course, the longstanding claim of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Muslim groups in the West, and has been uncritically adopted by the Left, with which Facebook and Twitter are so firmly aligned.

In reality, what constitutes “hate speech” is a subjective judgment. The label itself is a tool in the hands of the powerful, enabling them to control the discourse and silence dissenters to their agenda. That is ultimately what this is about: the purveyors of the Big Lie always have to shut down those who tell the truth, because they are aware that their whole enterprise rests on a lie and is deeply threatened by the truth. They can only put their lie across by constant repetition and relentless persecution of those who tell the truth. The truth-tellers, in contrast, need not resort to censorship against the liars, for they are confident that the truth, if given a fair hearing, will be obvious and compelling.

The good news in all this is that despite this choking-off of referrals from Facebook and Twitter, Jihad Watch’s overall readership is growing. Apparently many people who used to come here from Facebook and Twitter are finding different avenues. That is very important in general: free people must not accept this censorship, which is a desperate lashing-out of a discredited and weakening political and media elite against an inexorably growing populist revolution. If Facebook and Twitter shut out the truth, then we have to, in large numbers, shut out Facebook and Twitter. That is certainly what I am going to do: while each Jihad Watch post automatically goes up on Facebook and Twitter (for as long as that will last), I will never personally go to either one again.

And despite the ever-decreasing platform for those who dissent from the socialist, globalist, internationalist agenda of these sinister and authoritarian elites, there is every reason to be confident. They have all the money and all the power and all the platforms, and even so, Brexit was voted in, Trump was elected, and much, much more is to come. There is, after all, one weapon they do not have on their side, and that is why, for all their intermediate success, they are doomed to failure: that weapon is, of course, the truth.

“EU Reads Riot Act to Facebook, Twitter, Google Over Hate Speech (FB, GOOG),” by Rakesh Sharma, Investopedia, December 5, 2016:

The European Union has warned Facebook Inc. (FB), Twitter Inc. (TWTR), Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Google (GOOG), and Microsoft Inc. (MSFT) that they could face the prospect of hate speech laws, if they fail to clamp down on such speech on their platforms. The companies, which own or run social media platforms with member numbers that run into millions on the continent, had signed a code of conduct to take down instances of offensive and hate speech within 24 hours back in May. (See also: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft Agree To Report Hate Speech To The EU).

According to a new report that quantifies their efforts, the tech behemoths still have some way to go. The report, which will be discussed by EU ministers this week, stated that the companies reviewed 40 percent of reported cases within the first 24 hours and 80 percent within 48 hours. Germany and France saw the highest rates that were “in excess” of 50 percent while only 4 percent and 11 percent of reported posts were removed in Italy and Austria respectively.

“If Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft want to convince me and the ministers that the non-legislative approach can work, they will have to act quickly and make a strong effort in the coming months,” Vera Jourova, EU’s justice commissioner, told FT in an interview.

And:

“Google Launches AI Program to Detect ‘Hate Speech,’” by Lucas Nolan, Breitbart, February 23, 2017:

Google has launched a new AI program called Perspective to detect “abusive” comments online in an effort to crack down on hate speech.

Publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Economist are testing the new software as a way of policing comments sections, according to the Financial Times.

“News organizations want to encourage engagement and discussion around their content, but find that sorting through millions of comments to find those that are trolling or abusive takes a lot of money, labour and time,” said Jared Cohen, president of Jigsaw, the Google social incubator that built the tool. “As a result, many sites have shut down comments altogether. But they tell us that isn’t the solution they want.”

Perspective is available to all publications that are currently part of Google’s Digital News Initiative, which includes The Guardian, the BBC and The Financial Times. In theory, the software could also be utilized by social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter. Twitter has recently attempted to impose stricter rules on users in an attempt to reduce supposed harassment on the platform.

CJ Adams, a product manager at Jigsaw, discussed the adaptability of their program, saying, “We are open to working with anyone from small developers to the biggest platforms on the internet. We all have a shared interest and benefit from healthy online discussions.”

Perspective is used to filter and compile comments on websites for human review. In order to learn what exactly counts as a “toxic” comment, the program studied hundreds of thousands of user comments that had been deemed unacceptable by reviewers on websites like The New York Times and Wikipedia. “All of us are familiar with increased toxicity around comments in online conversations,” said Cohen. “People are leaving conversations because of this, and we want to empower publications to get those people back.”…

      They are simply greedy. It’s not about social discourse, it’s about advertising dollars and government meddling. He who controls the narrative can trade that influence for money.

      Are they evil? More likely, amoral. More evil has been committed by “Maximizing returns to shareholders without regard to its effects on humanity” than by most bad governments. Donald Trump’s election was a direct result of corporate greed that sold out America and its workers for a few more bucks.

      Organized Social Media and newspapers are desperate to maintain a common-appearing footprint because it maximizes revenue from jittery advertisers who are questioning if the big media is still the right place for all the money.

      None of them, media or advertisers, are considering the future of the nation; as always, it’s about money and the power it brings.

      Nothing can stop the idea whose time has come – not even Facebook, advertisers, or governments. I fully expect Jihad Watch to become the Snopes and FactCheck for Islam as awareness of Islam’s facade grows.

      Twitter and Facebook must be exposed for who and what they really are-useful infidels who will be, ultimately, responsible for the deaths of multiple millions of our citizens who were deprived of reading the most compelling, consistent dissemination of truth concerning the demonic doctrine of Islamic ideology in their wicked quest to subjugate Western civilization under sharia law.

        @ Voytek

        Mark Zuckerberg is in direct, personal contact and discussions with Merkel. Which, of course, implies one of her main supporters, Soros.

        Further, Zuckerberg/face book is directly reporting to the Bertelsman Verlag, one of Europe’s major publishing houses, ultra heavy Merkel support, from day one. That means a cross-link to Heiko Maas, who has now risen to the post of “Justice Minister”. He is also known as “Lying Heiko”, and similar. He is on the board of the ‘Wolfgang Amadeo Stiftung (Trust)’ which he supports with **public** money, openly! The Wolfgang Amadeo Stiftung has been founded and is run by Anetta Kahane, heavy Bolshevist and STASI operative for decades… One of her tasks, given by Maas, is to find and to publicly shame ‘enemies of democracy’ or alternatively ‘publishers of hate speech and hate propaganda’ – as has been done by LePen for instance. She certainly has experience with that, from her STASI days. Once they are found they can be taken to court, whatever pretext, if not, the names of such peoples or companies get simply publicised with the qualifier “Nazi or Neo-Nazi”. Then watch for Antifa attacks, beatings, fire to properties, etc. Just normal Bolshevist procedure. US-Antifa, you will have seen them at Trump’s inauguration, at Berkeley and similar. In short, to save you lengthy searches, Antifa is the action arm of the modern Comintern. Antifa means ‘Antifascist’, if you disagree, you are a fascist.

        Essentially the same method as practised by numerous JW posters…. Picture says a thousand words, here are two pics of Kahane… http://tinyurl.com/zf49en4 & http://tinyurl.com/jtsxpf3

        I wouldn’t be surprised if Kahane and Merkel are personal friends, both ex-Stasi, ex-SED, heavily Bolshevistic. Merkel’s operational function and office, under the Bolshevist SED regime ruling east Germany, was “Propaganda and Agitation”.

    Muslim logic: Unless you LOVE JIHAD and daily LETHAL JIHAD ATTACKS, you must be a ‘hater’.

    Muslim logic: Lethal jihad attacks are ‘good’ because Allah commands them. Therefore, critics of ‘good’, lethal jihad must be ‘bad’ people. Therefore, the critics of jihad should be censored because Allah hates them. Allah hates them because they are ‘bad’, because he says they are ‘bad’… rather than because of a crime. Merely disagreeing with Allah about jihad or Mohammed is a crime that must be punished with death.

    Of course! No one wants to engage in serious debate or discussions. Name calling is easier when one finds someone who disagrees. And a lot of people don’t know why they believe the way they do. They follow their friends and never research. But even if you seriously believe in something, then you should be able to defend it; first to yourself and then in the public square.

    Did you notice how quickly FB reinstated Fatah’s website and even apologized for the time they were cut off? Mr. Spencer, you and all of us who follow your posts must be doing something wrong. Big No! we are not Dhimmis and we will stand by the Truth. We are disseminating your articles as often and as widely within our circles as possible.

    I still read your articles on FB but I don’t comment there or re-post the articles on FB because I’ve reached the conclusion that the majority of my FB friends want to remain ignorant or think I’m promoting “hate speech”. And probably the FB admin already has me on a list of people to be purged.

      Mar 3, 2017 at 2:37 pm

      I have come to the same conclusion regarding my “friends”. They simply do not want to know. Their philosophy seems to be that if you ignore the things that seem difficult/ugly to see and read, they will somehow vanish.

      Except they won’t. My “friends” obviously want to remain ignorant or apply idiotic solutions to this problem (“If we are nice to them, they will be nice in return.”), I do not want the wise people of the world to suffer the consequences along with all the idiots.

      Hence we may have to change how we do everything and figure out a way to get an upper hand on the morons.

    Of course the truth will win out. In the case of Islam, it’s getting harder and harder to hide all the bodies. With ever increasing knowledge people are noticing that the presence of Islam and Muslims means death and an attendant coarsening in the quality of life.

    The left has a rate problem.

    Can it continue the lie about Islam and get the West to emasculate itself, such as with the UN’s Resolution 16/18, faster than the truth about Islam seep into the consciousness of the West.

    “People are leaving conversations because of this, and we want to empower publications to get those people back.”… – Jared Cohen, would-be World Social Director who promised the impossible. He states a completely false conclusion; tailored to the failing newspaper industry that has been financially gutted by alternate and new media.

    Isn’t it strange that the man who bills himself as, “The smartest Man In The Room”, Mark Zuckerberg, is hiring someone else to do the impossible – write “Big Brother” computer code that has the judgement of an impartial human being? So far – and until computers think – it is an abject failure; easily defeated by raising the complexity of the language used by commenters until the meaning is in the context.

    Of course, Zuckerberg knows it’s impossible yet needs someone else to be the fall guy to blame for all the dislocation it will cause and have a plausible scapegoat for government disappointment.

    It’s a fool’s errand that will produce more equivalents to Facebook. The evolution of NYT –> HufPo –> Breitbart should make clear that attempting to limit free speech will be no more sucessful than squeezing Jello and holding it all within one’s hand.

    It will take some time for advertisers to realize they must be more complex in the distribution and targeting of their consumers. They are still spending too much on major media that has declining readership/viewing while ignoring the growing entities. The Times, they are a-failing.

          Mark is or was an avid programmer. He got his break when Bill Gates and Warren Buffett saw the chance to get many pieces of personal info on most people in the world which they could use for a lot of things. At the time, MySpace and others were funded with a few million. Gates and Buffett pumped $800+ million into Facebook and they setup a deal with Goldman Sachs to put in another $3+ billion to make Facebook funded by about a thousand times more than any of the competition. The plan worked. The marketing system, called Facebook micro-targeting, takes in billions or revenue per year. If you have the money, you can concoct a can’t miss marketing program.

    It is human nature to live a in a state of freedom not “perceived” freedom. The EU’s alledged ownership of internet content (thanks Barry) is an inauspicious, self promoting and pompous lie. The EU has no “authentic power” over the truth nobody ever has, only opposition (lies) to the truth which will not conveniently dissapear although Maxist Leninburg would like it to if it meant his his money.

    Not too far off topic, I found this wonderful resource on CAIR’s website. They list all the “Islamophobic Individuals”. I found some excellent sources of information I never knew existed. Just try it yourself – input one of the names they list into Google and go to their website. What a wealth of information on Islam you will find.

    They have particularly nice things to say about both Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, that can only elevate my esteem for these both…

    Robert Spencer

    A prolific member of the U.S. Islamophobia network, Spencer runs the Jihad Watch website and is also connected with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, and Stop Islamization of Nations. Spencer has referred to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad as a “con man. Someone who is knowing [sic] that what he is saying is false, but is fooling his followers.” In the same video he asserts, “From a historical standpoint, it is not even clear that Muhammad existed.”

    If you click on the link imbedded in Robert’s name, you find interesting tidbits on Robert’s qualifications…

    Great Britain’s Home Office banned Spencer from entering the country

    The Boston Globe has described Spencer as a man who “depicts Islam as an inherently violent religion.”

    “Jihad as warfare against non-believers in order to institute ‘Sharia’ worldwide is not propaganda or ignorance, or a heretical doctrine held by a tiny minority of extremists. Instead, it is a constant element of mainstream Islamic theology.’”

    Spencer operates the blog “Jihad Watch,” which is notorious for its inaccurate depiction of Islam as an inherently violent faith. Spencer believes that, “traditional Islam is not moderate or peaceful” and “that the Qur’an doesn’t teach violence any more than the ‘Bible or Torah’ is flatly false.”

    Spencer operates the “Jihad Watch” Internet hate site. The site is well-known for its bone-chilling comments.

    CAIR says: “We believe that upon review of the above facts, you will determine that Mr. Spencer is an inappropriate speaker and rescind his invitation. We look forward to hearing your response to our concerns.” I would get from that that Mr. Spencer is exactly the kind of speaker for our organization.

    They wrote a great deal with many quotes from Robert and others within that section. They did not rebut Roberts statements, however, because of course they cannot. I will pass links to CAIR’s web page on Islamophobes as a handy recommended reading list to my friends. There is also a list of “Islamophobic Organizations” you may support.

    Pardon my ignorance, but I am unfamiliar with Facebook and Twitter (never signed up), and do not know what a “referral to Jihad Watch from Facebook (or Twitter)” means. Please define this term “referral”. Let me guess: when a Facebook message contains a reference (a.k.a. link) to a JW article, which the reader can click on to go to that JW article, is such a reference called a “referral”? Or does it only become a referral when a reader clicks on that reference and is taken to that JW article? What happens when you click on a JW reference and are not taken to that JW article? What is displayed on your screen? Is the reason given for the failure to connect to JW? What kind of reasons are given (e.g., “technical difficulties”, “hate speech”, “Islamophobia”)?

    Is this referral refusal related to (or identical with) “shadowbanning”, which is semi-explained in
    http://blog.dilbert.com/post/151981022076/is-twitter-shadowbanning-me ?

    Billybob, Thanks for the tip about the public service CAIR provides in publicizing Islam-skeptic sources.

      Yep, it’s shadow banning and some similar methods, there are no errors, there is a delay in them showing in followers timelines, then if follower reshares, that person followers either doesn’t see them or they are delayed. They are creating a ever decreasing sized echo chamber. This shared earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAAUD7jtFas (fairly rude) explains how throttling works.

    Thank you for making this important information public.

    JW should immediately file administrative complaints against FB and Twitter for:

    (1) Anti-trust violation: Abusing dominant positions in their respective markets to ban JW.

    (2) Anti-trust violation: Conspiring with each other and third parties to be named.

    (3) Foreign Agent Activity: Acting as agents for foreign governments (Saudi Arabia, Germany, others) without registration.

    (4) Campaign Finance Reporting Violation: Providing valuable services to opponents of JW in violation of federal and state finance campaign laws.

    (5) (By owners of FB stock): Breach of fiduciary duty for using FB as a political tool rather than to make money for stockholders.

    So, Mr. Spencer please fix that so I can keep spreading your articles all over twitter.

    The artificial intelligence (AI) that they use is ineffective in this area (and most others). Their system works on a percent of hate in the speech. Offensive speech is over 50% and good speech is under 50%. The system is hopeless. In just one of many examples, a speech from Goebbels calling for the extermination of all things Jewish scored 5% (that’s not a typo).

    I hate to see this. I believe they have a right to behave this way, but I don’t have to like it. The freedom of the press belongs to anyone who owns a press. The internet in general, and these groups too, have an image of advocating a free flow of information. I find this aspect of these groups both cowardly and ugly.

    I’m sure all of us who read “Jihad Watch” respect and admire Robert Spencer’s persistence and his dedication to the truth.

    And our attitude toward Facebook and Twitter because of their behavior? Quite the opposite of respect and admire. More like scorn and despise.

    ALL “Hate-Speech Laws” ARE CRIMES!

    “Progressive” criminals – who like all criminals desire an equality of outcome over a true equality of opportunity, and to get it will always try to socially engineer ever-more rights and ever-less responsibilities for them selves, by offloading their responsibilities onto their victims by stealing their victims’ rights – pretend to hold submissive masochism as the highest virtue (for their victims to hold, not them) and the ultimate crime to be causing offense and hurting other people’s (criminal’s) feelings, (i.e: by accusing them of their crimes).

    So they want to make it illegal to accuse criminals of their crimes, since that might hurt their feelings and in offending them with the often-painful truth, “make” them commit even more crimes!

    Is there anything which really ought to qualify as hate speech and be banned?

    NO – not because it’s “hateful” (because that sort of nonsense is only making subjective assessments based on emotions;) and “HATE” is really only the perfectly natural human response of perpetual anger towards ongoing crimes (like islam); without ‘hate’ we would never bother to accuse criminals of their crimes in order to stop those crimes.

    Unreasonable false displays of hatred and anger on the other hand, are what the Left is good at – but that’s already illegal, not because of the anger displayed – that’s just the outrageous holier-than-thou virtue-signalling packaging used to disguise their preposterous extortion attempts – but because it’s fraudulent slander.

    Such criminal leftists who try to make “hate” into a crime, only ever make it ‘illegal’ to hate crime itself!

    Speech which is already disallowed is incitement of immediate violence and death-threats … and even those aren’t illegal, if say they call for the police to use violence to counter ongoing mob violence and looting, or call for the death-penalty for murderers!

    Kindly make an album of snapshots of the FB deleting images or comments for violation of Sharia. Add the message option on your FB page; or allow such snapshots to be shared here; you will find shocking decisions of FB. It has deleted “Stop Islam” and many such images.

    My post (from Jihadwatch) was deleted today from FB, then when I reposted, the original post was returned to my wall. Anyone else have this happen to them? So, I posted the Jihadwatch post 2 more times along with another and am waiting to see what happens. I am not sure what is visible to friends during this.
