Meta’s Threads Censors Conservative Account
By Movieguide® Contributor
Meta’s Twitter rival Threads has shown its true colors as it censors a conservative account’s post.
Threads deleted a post from Chaya Raichik’s Libs of TikTok account after she stated “non-binary isn’t real.”
“Stating facts is ‘hate speech’ on Threads,” Raichik said in a Twitter post showing her censorship.

“Your post on Threads goes against our Community Guidelines on hate speech or symbols,” Raichik was notified when her post was deleted. “Our guidelines encourage people to express themselves in a way that’s respectful to everyone. If you think we made a mistake, you can ask us to review out decision.”
Despite Thread’s censorship of her post claiming that the site does not tolerate hate speech, Raichik has received extensive hateful messages calling her a fascist, nazi and a terrorist.
A trans activist and Clinical Instructor at Harvard Law School encouraged users to report Raichik for hate speech after her first post which simply said “testing…” None of these hateful messages were taken down, only Raichik’s post was censored.
“It’s clear that the biased censorship from big tech is still thriving everywhere except Elon’s Twitter,” Raichik told the Daily Caller. “I think I’ll stick with Twitter.”
The censorship of conservative posts on Threads is not surprising. Threads’ parent company, Meta, has a long history of restricting conservative accounts.
Movieguide® previously reported:
Seth Dillon, founder of The Babylon Bee, was targeted this week after posting satire to Instagram.
In response, Dillon took to his personal Instagram account and said: “My days on Instagram are numbered. They just flagged another one of my posts as hate speech. This time it was satire.”
The satire piece’s caption read: “In ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ Remake, Angel Tells George Bailey To Kill Himself Because He’s White.”
This is just one example of censorship that has recently garnered the attention of conservative circles.
