Facebook suspended the right-wing Libs of TikTok account for violating community standards, and then restored it after owner, Chaya Raichik, appealed.
“You cannot visit the Page and you won’t be able to add new people to work on the Page,” the initial email from Facebook to Raichik said.
It’s not clear what post or posts crossed the line for Facebook, but Libs of TikTok frequently posts anti-transgender content and unverified claims. But hours later, the page was viewable again—which Raichik characterized as caving “to the pressure” from her supporters. Raichik also thanked Elon Musk for “giving us a free speech platform!”
In 2022, Facebook suspended the account for a false claim about gender-affirming surgical procedures that triggered harassment against Boston Children’s Hospital.
