Facebook will begin removing all content that mentions the phrase "stop the steal". This comes a full 69 days after Election Day, according to reports at CNN. There have been continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election. Many of them have lead to violence, like the terror attacks on the Capitol recently. "We're taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration," says Guy Rosen, Facebook's VP of integrity. "Stop the steal" has become popular among Trump supporters that believe false claims of election fraud.
A 'Stop the Steal' Facebook group page amassed over 300,000 members in the aftermath of Election Day. The purpose of the pro-Trump, pro-conspiracy theory page was to organize national protests to claim the election was stolen from President Donald Trump. However, Gizmodo reports that Friday morning, one Stop the Steal page--with at least 64,000 members--had been rebranded as Gay Communists for Socialism. 64,000 members who had gone to bed Thursday night believing nothing would change in Trump's America woke up to a country in which everyone has to share. Perhaps group members can be comforted that President Donald Trump has often expressed his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
