- Libs of TikTok has been banned from Facebook after the page went against the platforms ‘community standards’
- The owner behind the page, Chaya Raichik posted the message she received about the now disabled account to X on Saturday night
- She went on to call out Mark Zuckerberg for caring more about ‘peddling lies’ than ‘letting users speak’
Facebook has banned Libs of TikTok from the platform for breaking ‘community standards’ as the popular right-wing account has warned of ‘extreme censorship’ ahead of the 2024 election.
The owner behind Libs of TikTok, Chaya Raichik, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday as she posted the message she received about the account being deactivated on Facebook.
‘The Page Libs of Tik Tok has been disabled for going against our Community Standards. You cannot visit the Page and you won’t be able to add new people to the Page,’ the message said along with a link to the platforms community standards for reference.
The page was created in April 2020 and is known for strident posts combating woke activism. The account has amassed over 2.7million followers other social media networks like X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
‘It’s a shame that Mark Zuckerberg cares more about peddling lies and catering to far left ideologies than letting users speak,’ Raichik told The Post Millennial.
‘Every day I’m grateful to Elon for what he’s done for free speech. No matter how many platforms censor and ban, we will always have X where we can tell the truth.’
Raichik then went on to re-post her initial tweet and said: “Buckle up for extreme censorship from big tech heading into the elections. They think we’re stupid. Thanks again @elonmusk for giving us a free speech platform!’
This is also not the first time that the page has been disabled on Facebook after the social network banned it last year after making claims about a hospital.
Employees at Boston Children’s Hospital received these threats after Raichik made a post claiming they were giving hysterectomies to minors.
Facebook‘s community standards is a guideline of rules that determine what can and cannot be posted on the platform.
Facebook is the parent company of Meta and was co-founded by tech mogul Mark Zuckerberg in 2014.
The platform’s community standards have been in play for several years and frequently get updated to pick up on topics of bullying, violence, privacy, hate speech, misinformation and more.
‘Meta recognizes how important it is for Facebook to be a place where people feel empowered to communicate, and we take our role seriously in keeping abuse off the service. That’s why we developed standards for what is and isn’t allowed on Facebook,’ the website said about the guidelines.
Raichik revealed her identity to the world as the person behind the Libs of TikTok page in December 2022, even though her name was exposed months before by Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz.
She then went on to appear on Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show to put a face to the name of the Twitter account with nearly two million followers.
The former real estate agent from Brooklyn, New York, appeared on the show in order to personally identify herself and explain what made her decide to finally go public.
‘I think I’ll be a lot more effective when I’m not so anonymous anymore. And I’m excited, I already have a couple speaking engagements planned,’ Raichik told Carlson.
‘I want to help people fight this [liberal] agenda.’
Chaya said she originally chose to keep her account, which debuted in November 2020 under the username @shaya69830552, private, after she ‘realized the hatred that the left has and their violent nature.’
‘I was like: “I am going to remain anonymous” … and I have remained anonymous until my account was doxxed [by Lorenz],’ she told Carlson.
She has since gone on to get close with well-known republican leaders like former president Donald Trump and Florida’s Governor Ron Desantis.
Unlock Facebook, Elon Musk’s X has been less restrictive when it comes to posting controversial content, and Raichik has thanked Musk for that opportunity multiple times.
Now, she wants to help ‘educate people’ and create legislation to fight against the things she reposts on her account.
‘I have never done any in-person events. And I am choosing to do that now because I feel like over the past few months, I have done so much,’ she told Carlson. ‘I’ve helped educate people, I know that I’ve helped create legislation to tackle some of these issues. And I think I have done all I can and I am ready for the next step.’
It is unclear how long the Libs of TikTok account will be disabled on Facebook and if it is permanent or temporary.
