Former Texas congressman Ron Paul says he=92s been blocked from using his Facebook page for unspecified violations of =93community standards=94 as Big Tech purges users following last week=92s Capitol riot.
Paul, a libertarian leader and critic of President Trump, tweeted a screenshot of his temporarily restricted Facebook page. see also

=93With no explanation other than =91repeatedly going against our community standards,=92 -at-Facebook has blocked me from managing my page. Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere is the offending post identified,=94 Paul tweeted.
His most recent post linked to an article he wrote denouncing =93shocking and chilling=94 censorship on social media.
Paul, 85, unsuccessfully ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012 as an anti-war, pro-civil liberties candidate. His son is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who opposed Trump=92s request to overturn President-elect Joe Biden=92s electoral win and called Trump=92s pre-riot speech =93irresponsible.=93
In response to his father being censored, Sen. Paul tweeted, =93Facebook now considers advocating for liberty to be sedition. Where will it end?=94

Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Although his son sought to work with and influence Trump, the elder Paul remained an often fiery critic. He opposed Trump=92s foreign and immigration policies, and said a Mexico border wall might be used for =93keeping us in.=94 He mused about Trump being vulnerable to a challenge in 2020. see also

Some civil libertarians are concerned about fallout from the Capitol riot, which disrupted but did not prevent certification of Biden=92s victor= y.
Since the violence on Capitol Hill, which killed four Trump supporters and a policeman, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon have moved to limit the reach of Trump=92s supporters and alleged conspiracy theorist accounts.
Twitter permanently banned Trump on Friday after Facebook said he would lose control of his account through at least Biden=92s inauguration on Jan. 20. As Trump supporters migrated to =93free speech=94 social network Parler, Apple and Google yanked the app from its smartphone platforms and Amazon dropped its hosting of the platform.
