“#Social media<\/a> again silences The Post for reporting the news<\/a><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Once more unto the breach.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Facebook decided its users should not be able to share a New York Post article about the property buying habits of one of the founders of Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n

This is the third time we\u2019ve tangled with social media giants in the past year. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we published a column that suggested the virus could have leaked from a Chinese virology lab. Facebook\u2019s \u201cfact checkers\u201d decided this was an opinion you weren\u2019t allowed to have, and blocked the article. Today, it\u2019s a commonly discussed theory, with officials from former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield to CNN\u2019s Sanjay Gupta saying it can\u2019t be discounted.\u00a0Even the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said it can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/p>\n

In October, we published a series<\/a> of articles about a laptop Hunter Biden left at a Delaware repair shop. Twitter suspended our account. You probably know how that ended. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted to lawmakers months later it was a \u201ctotal mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

We were right both times. We\u2019re right this time, too.<\/p>\n

Facebook censored The Post\u2019s article on Patrisse Khan-Cullors\u2019 property purchases.<\/figcaption>

The $3.2 million real estate spending spree of BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors is newsworthy for two reasons. One, she\u2019s an avowed Marxist, and as a public figure, it\u2019s legitimate to question whether she\u2019s practicing what she preaches. Secondly, as the article details, the finances of Black Lives Matter are opaque, a mixture of for-profits and tax-free nonprofits, and they don\u2019t reveal how much its executives are paid. Are the people donating to BLM helping to pay for these properties?<\/p>\n

We reached out to Khan-Cullors for comment before publication; she didn\u2019t respond. After it was posted, her organization put out a statement saying yes, she used to take a salary from BLM, but doesn\u2019t anymore, and the money she used to buy property came from her private income for book and development deals. Take the organization\u2019s word for it.\u00a0We added the response in full to our online article post-publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n
