The administrators of the Facebook page of europeanconservative.com were notified earlier today that the page has been suspended, because it “goes against the community standards” of the platform. The alleged violation? Presenting “nudity or sexual activity.”
The sheer irrationality of the move can be quickly grasped by taking a look at the incriminated article that we shared on Facebook. Published in June 2025, entitled “Large Porn Sites Leave France Protesting Minor Protection Measures,” it reported on the withdrawal of major pornographic platforms from the French market in protest against new measures aimed at protecting minors. It was in no way a promotion of explicit material nor had links to inappropriate content. It was an informative analysis of a public policy focused on protecting children.
What is striking is not only the sanction itself, but its retroactive and seemingly arbitrary nature. Meta ‘realised’ it finds the content objectionable months after it was shared, without having issued warnings or restrictions at the time. It is hard to fathom how critically reporting on the pornographic industry can be equated with promoting it.
After appealing the decision, we received the following message in the afternoon:
“Hello, After reviewing your appeal, your Page The European Conservative has been published. This means it can now be viewed publicly. The Facebook Team.”
This means that europeanconservative.com is once again accessible on Facebook.
However, let us be clear: private platforms have the right to establish rules of use. It is also indisputable that combating sexual exploitation and protecting minors in the digital environment is important, and how to best do it is the subject of ongoing debate worldwide. However, the application of those rules requires common sense, proportionality and coherence.
Completely suspending an informational page over an article published months earlier that generated no initial incident raises reasonable doubts about review mechanisms, no matter how much they claim to function like Swiss clockwork.
This incident, which is definitely not isolated when it comes to conservative voices online, is not only about our publication. What is at stake here is whether journalism that addresses uncomfortable social phenomena can be confused with the promotion of those same phenomena; if yes, that increases legal uncertainty for any digital newsroom.
