Facebook blocks Charles Town, WV city council candidate's page with no further appeal
2025-04-30
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Courtney Knill is running for city council in Charles Town, WV, but you wouldn't know that from her Facebook page, which has been locked. The candidate for Ward 3 told The Post Millennial that she woke up late last week to discover that her Facebook page was disabled. A message told her that she was in violation of community guidelines and she was accused of impersonating herself.

She was given the opportunity to appeal, and she went through that process. "All they had me do was record a video of myself where they had me point my face in a different direction, basically just showing that you are who you say they are," she said.

"They reviewed it, and then just today I got the notice: We disabled your account... reviewed your account. It still doesn't follow our community standards on account integrity. You cannot request another review of this decision, and you can download your information if you want. And that's it," she said, "done. Campaign Facebook page shut down." Knill's Instagram page and X account are still live.

#5  Who needs Facebook anyway? It's just a web page and you can create your own just about as easily as using Facebook.

WHAT IF
Courtney Knill sues Facebook, State and Federal Election Commissions, and the FCC for failure to act and/or enforce existing rules.

After several lower level Obama appointed judge rulings and a few appeals they will face the SCOTUS. Which will Vote along political and DC Swamp agenda lines 5/4 for her.

OR!!!
Facebook will make her an Undisclosed offer to drop it.

#2  In addition to impersonating herself, she is probably guilty of targeting members of a vulnerable community and making them feel unsafe, along with other buzzword thought-crimes.
