Independent journalist Michael Yon, best known for his [archive.org] work [archive.org] during the Iraq War, has accused Facebook of deleting his posts and his users' comments [breitbart.com] without reasonable cause. Yon now says that Facebook suspended him for a week [twitter.com] after his complaint made the news.

Facebook has previously come under criticism for banning links to its competitor Tsu.co [cnn.com], suspending political cartoonist Ben Garrison for his "Crybabies" cartoon critical of campus protests [twitter.com], banning atheist cartoonist Bosch Fawstin [infowars.com], removing a comment calling for the strict separation of church and state [arstechnica.com], and blocking access to The Federalist article "Microaggressions and Trigger Warnings Meet Real Trauma" [thefederalist.com].
