On Tuesday, the European Union (EU) announced a new online speech code to be enforced by four major tech companies, including Facebook and YouTube. On Wednesday, Facebook deleted the account of Ingrid Carlqvist, Gatestone Institute's Swedish expert. It's no coincidence. It's political censorship. It's outrageous. And it's contrary to our Western values of free speech, political freedom and the separation of mosque and state. Facebook blackballed Ingrid because she had posted Gatestone's latest video, called "Sweden's Migrant Rape Epidemic," in which Ingrid asks: Where did peaceful, low-crime Sweden go? Why does Sweden now have the second-highest number of rapes in the world, after only Lesotho? After enormous grassroots pressure from Gatestone's readers, the Swedish media started reporting on Facebook's censorship. Facebook then put Ingrid's account back up. Facebook and the EU have backed down -- for today. But they'll be back. What should we do? There is only one thing we can do: continue to produce our well-researched reports, and even more videos! We need to win the battle of ideas. Can you help? Facebook and the European Union thought they could shut us up. We want to prove them wrong. Each video costs us approximately $500 to produce.
