Tony is finally back on Facebook and his page is officially restored. I am incredibly relieved that his artwork is accessible again and I appreciate everyone who helped us push for this outcome.

Tony Burke, the esteemed leader of WWEOT, recently had his Facebook account blocked for creating art, we believe this should swiftly be revoked.

Watching Tony lose his access to the community he built for sharing his creative work has been incredibly frustrating for those of us who know his heart. I have spent the last few days reaching out to support channels to get an explanation for this censorship but have only received automated responses. We refuse to let his voice be silenced by an algorithm that fails to understand the value of what he brings to our world.

Seeing this kind of momentum reminds me why Tony deserves better than having his art silenced by an algorithm. This surge in support proves that people recognize the injustice here.

He has become a scapegoat as he is an admin of a group which has caused an online political debate. He cannot be held responsible for the immature and slandering actions of others. He is now being marginalised himself by his opposition. This is hypocritical I believe.

WWEOT is observational not judgemental. It doesn't intimidate nor bully. Tony is WWEOT; he does not intimidate nor bully.

He's the Architect, not the home-owner - you can't punish him for the actions of a few

I watched "The Monuments Men" a couple of days ago and I must say, if those guys didn't prevent the Nazis from destroying the culture/art, then we wouldn't be able to witness those beautiful creations today. Tony is creating art for everybody to enjoy and this is absolutely unjustified that he got banned. If Tony gets banned then what's next? Perhaps WWEOT will get shut down and we don't want that! Tony's ban has to be lifted so that the art can survive and maybe one day, will become history.

This is so ridiculous, I am a female who has no issue with this site and it makes me smile. No one is breaking the law and what happened to freedom of speech and expressing yourself???? No one is being abused or bullied- don't like it don't look at it! There is plenty if things I don't understand or find amusing I just don't look at it SIMPLE!!!

As David Brent would say "They want a scapegoat, they want to dumb down..." Well I want art and such despotism to censor such art is abhorrent.
