. >> former congressman ron paul blocked from editing his own facebook account, the latest conservative. carley: a rather surprised texas congressman ron paul posted this week yesterday saying with no explanation other than repeatedly going against community standards facebook has blocked me from managing my page. never did we receive notice of filing community standards and nowhere is the offending post identified. ironically the last thing he posted on his facebook page was an article denouncing social media censorship. facebook has not released a statement saying why they blocked the former congressman but his son kentucky senator f considers advocating for liberty to be sedition was where what end? a bunch of comments coming in. look on twitter says that liberty included business's right to reserve service or customer, kurt chiming and say you can never convince me this isn't partisan. facebook says the former congressman repeatedly went against community standards. he says he had no idea he was doing that nor does he understand which post exactly is presenting him from managing his

believe it or not former texas congressman and presidential candidate ron paul says he was blocked forf all take me through this. what were you kicked off for? >> well, we're still figuring it out but i can tell you what they said. you mentioned the word, community standard but i think the confusion came from, i sort of lean toward looking at finding out what community standards are, don't you watch cn in? that is where you find out what the community standards are. that was written in "the onion" or someplace. that is absurd what it is. when there was a lot of noise expressed after that, maybe i have one or two followers out there still, hey, what are they doing. he preaches freedom and non-violence and peace. how can you say he is committing an act that is going to encourage violence and war and all these kind of things? so it's very strange. i think then they backed down and said, oh, the next day, they said, we made a mistake. so i don't know where the mistake was or what they did but the whole process as far as i'm concerned is a mistake because it is so unnecessary to have our mo

ron paul's page, we restricted one administration ability to post by mistake. we corrected that error. i have no idea what that means. sounds like they feel they might have gone too far as former congressman, presidential candidate. be that as it may i don't know if he is back on facebook but back with me at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on "your world" to talk with me about this. hi son is upset about it. ron paul is upset about it. he will talk with me in about four hours. having said that, this widening net to crack down on him, on all social sites and by extension even ron paul's site, however briefly, appears, briefly, i'm wondering what is going on, what do you think? >> let's just talk about this, neil. first of all from just a pure business standpoint. i mean twitter has really, is in danger of alienating half of its customers. imagine if fox business news did that, what would happen to your ratings? i don't see the sense of this. it is become such a politically correct atmosphere that you know, as your previous guest was saying, there are tens of millions of people who follow donald trump on twitter and to shut him down and shut down other conservative voices isn't just a questionable l
