those of different viewpoints in constant suspicion ala mop and artsy new york. a bestselling authors accuse 3 social media giants of censoring ads for her book criticizing feminism professor carrie greste says her work challenges more than assumptions of what it means to be a woman the book describes the notion of radical toxic femininity which the order also says is imposed on society and actually makes women unhappy told out say that current ideology destroys the links that hold families together. the book is called the antiamerican s'posed and it really came about when i started looking at elite women in the culture and i noticed that the values that they had were diametrically opposed from the the values that we see in the embodiment of the blasted virgin mary and many different ways that she has helped to build our culture and transform cultures throughout the centuries and the idealist and just expose and and show how much how far we have gone away from these values and there there really are some

major problems here that we need to address because women are happy this is you know fundamentally if you look at the numbers if you look at at suicide rates depression levels and substance abuse s.t.d. and divorce all of these things point to some incredibly unhappy women and this is just something i think we've gotten used to but the numbers certainly tell a story that feminism is not doing what it is that we're told it's supposed to be doing which is make us happy lives for the book be banned on instagram and facebook which said it doesn't comply with commas policies and violates rules on selling adult products but greste says big tech of even blocked users posts promoting the title although allison blamed glitches for the removal of links to bio work. and light of the content you know compared to a lot of the content in facebook and instagram sound it was really surprising characterization of the book because it's certainly not i mean it's adulterated but
12:23 pm
it's not i think within the category of what they would call the dark content such as pornography and other illicit materials and there was some glitches on amazon with my book but i think a pattern is or is emerging as well there's other books from my publisher that have banned been banned both for sale one of the most stations across for children of amazon and it was to my land and then other books that have been banner ads have been banned on facebook i think that my silencing means silencing those books they're trying to help they're trying to prevent people from actually seeing what's what's going on in the culture in the way that they're trying to promote these these idiology across the board in the culture in the country you know i've been really encouraged by and then the support that i've had for my book and people went out and bought and drove and that was just amazing to see but i think people are really ready for it to be free of this and i think you know the people that have resources whether it's ideas or arms money or infrastructure we really need to

authorities had no interest at all in looking at this i suspect it's because they're on the other team that's what i would say and the 1st reports that came out there was really just one or 2 reports and they said they found no evidence the ballots were dropped off in the middle of the night now they had the same reporter reported on friday after our video release she said yes these were ballots but everything was fine this is completely normal well we don't believe that we have witnesses who said that the ballots and i could go on and on about why we believe these ballots were fraudulent but i. it's interesting that they changed their complete story without telling their audience that this is what they've done so if they're so secure with their position why are they cracking down and eliminating eliminating. sites like myself from the social media platforms it doesn't make sense and this is what we've fought against for several months now. and that's the
