Event management and ticketing service Eventbrite has shut down an event organized by the group Women for America First in support of President Donald Trump. Despite Eventbrite’s blacklisting of the March for Trump, the Women for America First Group remains defiant and says the march will happen on Saturday as planned.
Ticketing service Eventbrite has reportedly canceled an event organized by the pro-Trump group Women for America First. The event, titled “March For Trump,” was allegedly banned by Eventbrite for violating the site’s terms of service.
PR strategist Chris Barron posted a screenshot of an email that Women For America First received from Eventbrite informing them that the event was canceled, the email can be seen below:

Supporters of the group tweeted that they planned to no longer financially support Eventbrite as a result of the event cancelation:
@eventbrite I was going to hold on to my stocks until you were regularly booking events again. I see now that you are not interested in equal treatment of women, conservatives, or in actually booking events. Dumping my EB stocks today.#votewithyourwallet#elections2020

The Group posted a request for donations after Eventbrite blacklisted the event. According to the group’s donation page, it plans to move forward with the event on November 14 in Washington DC.

Breitbart News recently reported that multiple tech farms are increasing their censorship and moderation as many media firms announce Joe Biden as the next president. Breitbart News reported that tech giant Facebook has announced plans to prevent the spread of what it considers misinformation within the groups on its platform. Facebook will now put certain Facebook Groups in “probation” periods of 60 days. During this timeframe, all posts in the groups must be manually approved by a group administrator or moderator in an attempt to have them take responsibility for the content posted in the groups.
