As Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg finds himself under increasing heat from the mob-linked censorship organization ADL, it is worth remembering that Facebook hired a top anti-Brexit operative to be its chief “fixer” in Europe.

Facebook hired none other than Nick Clegg to be their head of policy and communications. Politico has more on the nature of his role:

Clegg wasn’t a typical hire. At most companies of Facebook’s size, the policy chief is a kind of Washington fixer — a lawyer with a sparkling government résumé, even a mid-level administration official. Clegg, however, was an actual politician with strong European ties: In his last job, he’d been the head of the Liberal Democrats, Britain’s third major political party at the time, and for five years had been the deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom. In November 2019, he was installed in an office near founder Mark Zuckerberg’s, and a number of the company’s highest-profile public initiatives have his fingerprints on them. [Politico]

This would be significant in any event, but is especially so given the fact that the anti-establishment Brexit vote, combined with the election of Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election, have served as the two catalyzing events for the crackdown on political speech lead by big tech companies such as Facebook.  All under the pretext of preventing “disinformation.”

Politico fails to explain that not only was Clegg a high-level official in the extreme left Labor Party, he wrote a book titled “How to Stop Brexit: And Make Britain Great Again.” As if this isn’t disturbing enough, the book was published in 2017, AFTER THE BREXIT VOTE HAD PASSED.

It would have been one thing if Clegg had written a book on how the Labor party should have effectively opposed Brexit prior to the referendum on the issue. By writing a book on how to stop Brexit AFTER the British people had made their decision, Clegg’s book morphed from a misguided but legitimate political tract to a manifesto on how to override the will of the British people.

Even as Zuckerberg comes under attack from even more extreme elements such as Soros and the mob-linked ADL, we shouldn’t forget its active role in censoring populist anti-establishment voices on their platforms.

That Facebook would go on to hire someone like Clegg gives additional but unsurprising insight into the contempt that Big Tech companies hold for the energies that gave rise to the Brexit vote and Trump vote. These companies will do whatever is in their power to make sure the internet can never again be used as a vehicle to successfully channel the energies associated with these historic anti-establishment victories.
