The big tech overlords are at it again. Facebook removed a video interview between former President Trump and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump from the platform. The platform says that any content featuring the “voice of Donald Trump” would be scrubbed from the platform after he was banned in January.

Fox News reports:
A group of Trump officials were sent an email from a Facebook employee, warning that any content posted on Facebook and Instagram “in the voice of President Trump is not currently allowed on our platforms (including new posts with President Trump speaking)” and warned that it “will be removed if posted, resulting in additional limitations on accounts that posted it.”
The interview was eventually posted to Lara Trump’s Facebook page, but was later taken down.

Trump was banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat following the violent events that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. However, the former president has promised that he will eventually make his return to social media with his very own platform. Details of the new platform have been kept under lock and key but his millions of supporters are patiently awaiting his long-overdue return.
