However, after Breitbart News reached out to Facebook for comment,  White’s ban was lifted . White revealed her ban from Facebook through her Twitter account on Tuesday evening: White told Breitbart News, “Facebook has repeatedly shown their dedication to censoring libertarian and conservative pages.
