  I wonder if that may be the cause of the block in the original post — i.e. if the fascist accounts were posting lots of “sensitive” content (such as stuff that would, in a different era, been far more likely to be removed if reported), then it might appear like the censorship that OP saw. I vaguely recall an instance of something similar happening, and if so, the “censorship” would be an automated error, and it being visible now would be after the manual intervention.

    Occam’s razor disproves this to me.

    It’s more likely that meta was testing censorship, but people caught on.

    Than #johnOliver #bernieSanders #Democrat #proChoice etc. All being banned, but none of the conserve hashtags
