HN is having technical difficulties, so I had to create another account.

Trump supporters attacked:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=trump+supporter... (Just some of the Trump supporters attacked)

There were some stories popping up that minorities were also being attacked after the election. However, so many of them turned out to be made-up/fake, It's really difficult to believe that it's happening at any elevated level (especially with almost no video proof besides what someone said).

Fake news sites are banned from FB advertising, yet they only seem to be right-leaning. Sites like the Huffingtonpost, which has some of the most click-baity and outright fake news stories I've ever seen still gets to post their sludge on FB and get paid for it.

I don't see any of the censoring happening with violent and vocal BLM supporters that call for the death of white people and police officers. In fact, Jack Dorsey is good friends with one of the leaders of the movement.

Examples: http://hypeline.org/minutes-after-dallas-shooting-blm-radica...

These are just a small sampling of the censoring and violence that has been happening before and after the election.

It's relevant because people get fired and companies get boycotted over a highly politicized interpretation of the results, which actually is usually do to many other factors.

This thought policing stops, however, when it involves something like the abuse and silencing of a political opponent or someone you don't support.

I didn't even mention all of the Wikileaks that showed that almost everyone in the mainstream media was conspiring against Trump, Sanders, and all political opponents of HRC.

Your main account has been posting primarily political comments, which is an abuse of this site and its community. To create another account so you can post more political comments faster is going much too far, so we've banned this account and we'll ban the main one if you continue.

> Trump supporters attacked [...] There were some stories popping up that minorities were also being attacked after the election. However, so many of them turned out to be made-up/fake, It's really difficult to believe that it's happening at any elevated level (especially with almost no video proof besides what someone said).

First, anyone attacking Trump supporters physically is clearly a pretty terrible person and no one in any position of power is supporting this.

Second, a few nutso people don't represent a systematic effort to suppress Trump voters or their freedoms as you've claimed.

Third, you must see the hypocrisy of dismissing all claims of violence against minorities while believing every story about violence against Trump supporters. Even Trump doesn't believe this. On national television he told his own supporters to stop.

> Facebook bans vocal Trump supporter

A quick search indicates that she'd been banned repeatedly in the past before her Trump support. I don't have any visibility into what she was posting to get banned repeatedly. It seems like this particular ban was an overreach, but not surprising given the history.

> Facebook bans trump supporter page

I have no visibility into this either so I can't really speak to it. Maybe Facebook was pointlessly and senselessly banning? Maybe the ban came because the group regularly pushes the limits of what Facebook allows? I have no idea.

> Reddit CEO edits Trump supporter comments

This was stupid and wildly inappropriate but hardly constituted any kind of secret censorship. His edits were not subtle. He changed mentions of his own name to mentions of the_donald mods.

> Twitter actively censored Trump campaign

So this whole article is about Twitter not approving some particular custom emoji? I don't see what the issue is on these particular emoji, but I also think this is a mountains-of-molehills situation. They ran the rest of the campaign.

> fake news sites banned from Facebook

It says something that you assume banning fake news sites is an attack against the right.

> Fake news sites are banned from FB advertising, yet they only seem to be right-leaning. Sites like the Huffingtonpost, which has some of the most click-baity and outright fake news stories I've ever seen still gets to post their sludge on FB and get paid for it.

Huffington Post posts a lot of clickbait trash. That's not the same at all as fake news, though. I'm pretty sure Facebook also allows a lot of clickbait trash from sites like Breitbart.

> I don't see any of the censoring happening with violent and vocal BLM supporters that call for the death of white people and police officers. In fact, Jack Dorsey is good friends with one of the leaders of the movement.

I don't see any BLM leaders calling for the deaths of white people or police officers. You can't point to random assholes online and claim they represent an entire movement. Or if you can, I can point to David Duke and other overtly racist Trump supporters to condemn all Trump supporters.

Stories of overtly racist and violent Trump supporters are not hard to find: http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/politics/donald-trump-immigrat...

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/21/politics/trump-muslims-surveil...: "At least one man punched the protester and a woman kicked him while he was on the ground."

> I didn't even mention all of the Wikileaks that showed that almost everyone in the mainstream media was conspiring against Trump, Sanders, and all political opponents of HRC.

Everyone in the mainstream media? Seriously?
