The transsexual Libertarian candidate for Cheshire County Sheriff for 2018 has been put in “Facebook Jail” with a seven-day ban for “hate speech”. Aria DiMezzo, the “Anarchist Shemale”, had video recorded of her in the Keene, NH Gamestop where she tore off her jacket in parody of a recent viral video.
The video DiMezzo was parodying involved a hulking trans person who made an outrageous scene at an Albuqueque, NM Gamestop over being called “sir”. In that video, the brutish Tiffany Michelle bellows at the poor Gamestop employee and kicks over a display while storming around and shouting profanities. As the original, now-viral video begins, Michelle was upset with the Gamestop returns process then flips out on another customer for using “sir” when referring to Michelle and turns and targets the Gamestop employee when he referred to both customers as “guys”.
DiMezzo made her parody video to counter the perception that all trans people are as easily offended as the ridiculous Michelle. She told me in an interview for Free Keene, “It was to show that not all trans people behave that way and that her behavior was more a reflection of her character than her being trans. Because the stereotype has grains of truth in it, I’m now in facebook jail because said people don’t know how to take a joke.” Keene’s Gamestop staff appreciated the humor and the DiMezzo’s video ends with a handshake with the clerk.After DiMezzo posted the video to her Facebook page, she was given a seven day ban within 24 hours for “hate speech” and the video was pulled down by Facebook. DiMezzo appealed the decision and Facebook admitted they were wrong to consider the video as “hate speech” and restored the video, while bizarrely leaving her account banned.
If you’re looking to escape Facebook, you can follow DiMezzo’s account over on the decentralized Mastodon social media network. Also, check out our previous article showing multiple alternatives far more useful for communication than Facebook.
Wide-eyed Amerikanskys is must be protected from seeing libertarian utterances or accidental reveals of truth. The Big Sister Susan Wojcicki. She is watching, yes?
This doesn’t surprise me a bit. I’m sure it won’t be long until facebook shuts freekeene down. As far as thinking you won’t get shut down on another host site, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
Youtube freezing your account shows you have to take responsibility for the content you post. You put it there, you violated policies and rules. Youtube will more than likely keep tabs on your account.
Sorry to burst your bubble Jumping Jacks, but lbry video hosting is decentralized p2p. Or in simpler terms… Buhbye censorship! Buhbye youtube! Good riddance. 🙂
Now Jacks, Ian is just pointing out what’s obvious to everyone here except you. There’s no need to get testy about it. I mean I’m sure you’re smart in all sorts of other ways. You know, like street smarts? Anyway, after our last chat I decided to look through your old posts to try and figure out what you’ve been pestering me about. And guess what I found out? It turns out that I’d actually already answered your question! I know! What a misunderstanding, right? Ok, now here’s what I said, word-for-word. Make sure you pay special attention to that… Read more »
Hehe! Now I’m sitting on the edge of my seat here, just waiting for Jumping Jacks to respond with “just answer the question troll, yes or no!”. Lol don’t disappoint Jacks XD. It doesn’t get any better than this…
Like everything else, the app will eventually be controlled and mainstreamed. Any freekeene videos that are not appropriate will be taken down. This enforcing of rules is already happening to youtube, reddit, facebook, soon Tic Tok.
No vaccine? Your choice
Wow. Will wonders never cease? So it’s my choice after all, huh Jacks? Well I guess this means I’m not a hypocrite, anymore. Thanks a bunch, munchkin.
Hey, what on earth brought this on, anyway? You’ve never given up this easily before. Did the doctors finally figure out how to fix that brain thing of yours? Don’t leave us in the dark, big guy. Inquiring minds want to know.
Two days prior to this strike, another decade-old :15 promo was allegedly found objectionable, this one featuring then-libertarian Penn Jillette saying he should move to Keene to join the Free Staters. I appealed the finding, and YouTube reversed it, once again allowing the video to be played. So, when the subsequent takedown happened this weekend, I also appealed it, asking in my appeal where the supposed “harmful or dangerous” content was. They upheld their decision to block the short promo video and give the account a “strike”. Of course, they declined to state exactly what it was in those scant… Read more »

awesome works mate!
Now, YouTube has increased its rate of finding things it doesn’t like about our videos. It may not be long before our entire channel is taken down. If you haven’t looked seriously at LBRY yet, now is the time to do it. In 2020, they launched Odysee, a video platform built on LBRY. I’ve created a handy url to take you right to the Free Keene channel on Odysee: video.freekeene.com. Unlike YouTube, LBRY/Odysee has no strikes and videos cannot be taken down. It’s true content freedom, and blockchain-powered. You can get the LBRY app or just follow our channel on… Read more »
The supposedly offensive promo has a limited amount of footage that could possibly be objectionable. Was it the scenes of two men being arrested? A photo of a massive 420 rally in Central Square in 2009? A man speaking into a megaphone? A photo of a band playing or people playing a card game in Railroad Square? A large group of people standing around the “Welcome to New Hampshire” sign at the Vermont border?
