My Anti-Trump/Republicans Pinterest Board Was Deleted. [View all]

Not just certain pins, the entire board, with hundreds of pins. The reason that they said they took it down was because it was considered "hate speech". All I did was save other peoples pins to my board, I did not create anything myself.

I could see it if they just removed a particular meme or pin that they thought was out of line (and I don't think any of them were, most of them just stated the truth), but they removed the entire board!

What is happening in this country? You can't even express your disapproval of a politician or a political party. Are they removing boards that are pro-Trump/Republican and Anti-Liberal/Hillary/Obama? I am just curious if anyone else has had this happen to them.
