</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>She had written just a short introduction for an article published on her own online magazine 'Katerina Magasin'<strong>,</strong>the article itself was written by another writer Madeleine Rönnqvist Lilja.</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>The article looks at Tommy Robinson and examines particular elements of his work along with the issue of free speech.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Katerina's text wrote: “Defending freedom of expression when you agree is a breeze, but if we are to have any freedom of speech worth mentioning, it must also be defended when it is challenged and not all agree.”</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>She added “it may be your turn next”. Shortly after, Katerina was suspended by Facebook for seven days.</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>Commenting she wrote: “<em>Seven days of suspension was the result when I published an article about the British free speech hero Tommy Robinson on Facebook.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>The article was published on March 10, but I was suspended now, twelve days later. Perhaps a censorship committee was needed to conclude that the content was so offensive that it violated Facebook’s community standards?</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>There is also a threatening tone in which it is pointed out that I can be further penalised if I dare publish something equally inappropriate again.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>Madeleine’s article is about freedom of speech, and that all opinions, even the ones we disagree with should be allowed, without the person stating them being threatened and harassed and called a dissident.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>“<strong>Tommy Robinson’s issue is ours</strong>”, <em>was my headline and what do you know, sooner than I could imagine Tommy Robinson’s issue was mine.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>Which people can we write about on Facebook? Perhaps the powerful social media platform should provide a list of which individuals we cannot mention by name.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>If someone previously doubted that freedom of expression is under attack, this is clear proof that that is the case.</em></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>I wish I could write</em> “<strong>see you on Facebook in a week</strong>” <em>but at the moment I don’t know if I want to come back.</em></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><em>Please continue reading Katerina Magasin! And spread the links. My own platform, no one can take away from me – at least not yet.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>This action from Facebook clearly indicates that freedom of expression is prohibited on their platform if one's expression does not fall in line with their alignment.</strong></div>
