For telling the truth about how badly a fracking-lawsuit is going in Pennsylvania, a FrackNation writer’s stories were suspended over the weekend by Facebook.
Facebook offered no explanation according to a report by Breitbart.
The Dimock Water story by FrackNation revealed how two families lied about health problems and how environmental pollution was blamed on fracking that occurred near their homes in 2008. They were caught on the stand in the trial of their federal lawsuit seeking millions of dollars from an oil and gas company.
But in response to the action by Facebook, FrackNation writer Phelim McAleer sparked a revolution among followers and readers and it prompted Facebook to return the FrackNation site on Tuesday.
“You did it—you made Facebook back down and we have succeeded in beating the censorhip organized by anti-fracking activists,” wrote McAleer. “And this was all because we dared to tell the truth about the apparently bogus lawsuit currently before a jury at the Federal Courthouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Dimock Water case was collapsing and the anti-fracking movement hated that I was the only journalist reporting it in detail. So they responded in the way that all cowards do and tried to have the posts censored by Facebook.”
He went on to say the censorship backfired when the story appeared in Breitbart, Glen Beck’s The Blaze and Newscasters.
