Second Chavista (VZ) propaganda site (teleSur), removed from Facebook.

TeleSUR English Removed From Facebook for Second Time
Published 14 August 2018

This is the second time the teleSUR English page has been taken down by Facebook moderators.



TeleSUR English's page has been removed from Facebook for the second time this year without any specific reason being provided. It should be noted that the first time this occurred back in January 2018, Facebook did NOT provide any explanation in spite of our best efforts to understand their rationale. This is an alarming development in light of the recent shutting down of pages that don't fit a mainstream narrative.

This is currently the only communication we have received from Facebook:

"Hello,

Your Page "teleSUR English" has been removed for violating our Terms of Use. A Facebook Page is a distinct presence used solely for business or promotional purposes. Among other things, Pages that are hateful, threatening or obscene are not allowed. We also take down Pages that attack an individual or group, or that are set up by an unauthorised individual. If your Page was removed for any of the above reasons, it will not be reinstated. Continued misuse of Facebook's features could result in the permanent loss of your account.

The Facebook Team"

TeleSur is an propaganda mouthpiece for Chavismo and the fringers who pine for the days of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. TeleSur shares news and articles with VenezuelaAnalysis, Sputnik and RussiaToday (RT). It is funded almost entirely by Venezuela, who retains in control of content.
