January 12, 2021. Facebook briefly deplatformed PressTV without explanation, part of a post-"insurrection" (note: the events of January 6th did not constitute an insurrection by any definition except that hastily cooked up by the Newspeak masterminds - for an armed uprising you need a) arms b) an uprising, not a bunch of people running around the Capitol like kids in a candy store putting their feet up on Pelosi's desk) crackdown by Big Tech on anything that smells too sharply of free speech. fortunately for PressTV, they didn't have a dog in this particular fight, and thus got their page back.
