QAnon riddled conspiracy theorist Damien De Ment has been banned from Facebook permanently.
De Ment is a white supremacist, and during the racist Lee Williams era, he used racial slurs and stalking motives to criticise Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Tina Ngata.
He has incited kidnapping of academic members and hate toward wāhine, journalists, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and representatives in government on Facebook and Telegram. Targeted attacks, namely at Te Rangikaiwhiria Kemara, for posting consistent updates on Twitter about the dangerous motives he has attempted to aspire.

De Ment announced the astonishing news on Telegram that he was removed from the platform, calling it a ‘career loss'.
“I no longer have Facebook or Messenger access. I've been banned,” he wrote.
“My run was epic, just one account [of my whole] social media career. Losing it is actually a weight off my shoulders.”
He'd also baselessly alleged false narratives of election fraud on many occasions, and was therefore banned from YouTube.

Another post by De Ment asked followers in a poll about creating a new Facebook account. 78% voted it was a waste of time, while 28% voted he should've evaded the removal.
In the past, De Ment was visited by Police and issued a notice after allegedly organising an illegal anti-lockdown protest during the Delta phase of Covid-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. His belief was the government shutting down protest organisers to silence them — a baseless claim, as it was to prevent the spread of the virus while vaccination rates were low.
He later admitted to flouting Alert Level 4 lockdown rules by posting it to social media.
Marc Daalder from Newsroom reported far-right Twitter accounts becoming suspended in January 2021. Over 70,000 accounts were removed for posting content related to spreading QAnon mistruths. De Ment was one of many right-wing accounts suspended in Aotearoa New Zealand.
