Whats this logical form called?X is the enemy. X says Y is true. Therefore, the opposite of Y must be the real truth. A real world example would be: "Facebook fact checked me, then censored me as being extremist content, therefore what I posted must be the real truth they don't want us to know about. |

This is a Non-Sequitur for sure, as well as a fallacy of opposition. |

In other words: P1) Person A says X is true P2) If Person A says X is true, then it is not C) X is not true This is a formally valid syllogism, but an unsound form of reasoning - it is a genetic fallacy. Your example follows this logic - because of the origin of the claim (the "enemy"), it is rejected.
This actually seems a bit different. It's still a fallacy though - the appeal to censorship. "I was censored, therefore I am right." It's a non sequitur. |
