The Censorship has begun

“Fact checkers are politically sided”
Just tried it. It works fine. Granted, most results are from fascist accounts, but it does work
I wonder if that may be the cause of the block in the original post — i.e. if the fascist accounts were posting lots of “sensitive” content (such as stuff that would, in a different era, been far more likely to be removed if reported), then it might appear like the censorship that OP saw. I vaguely recall an instance of something similar happening, and if so, the “censorship” would be an automated error, and it being visible now would be after the manual intervention.
Occam’s razor disproves this to me.
It’s more likely that meta was testing censorship, but people caught on.
Than #johnOliver #bernieSanders #Democrat #proChoice etc. All being banned, but none of the conserve hashtags
Maybe it is being abused by trolls and such so badly they had to disable it temporarily.
This is not mildly infuriating. Its incredibly worrying.
someone should make c/incrediblyworrying
Maybe this will hopefully get people to stop using the garbage platform that enabled Trump and aided a literal genocide because they didn’t hire anyone fluent in the language of the people being exterminated.
I can’t wait for the day Zuckerberg loses all his money and dies alone because he alienated himself from anyone who cared about him.
With pixelfed ripping right now and available tools to migrate your IG images, there’s never been a better time to leave zuck’s shithole sites.
I dont even know how to react to this. It feels like my reaction to everything has been holy shit this is fucking insane. I’m burnt out, I just need to tend to my own garden. I cant have sympathy for people who support the right and these stupid social media platforms.
I have that same thought, but then I think this is exactly how all the non-Jewish people felt as hitler was rising to power. I end up getting even more angry and looking up where to buy fertilizer.
Love the double entendre. Are you tending your garden harder, or blowing up Parliament?
Completely unrelated to the topic, but did you know you can make crude gunpowder called “black powder” using only sulfur and saltpeter (KNO3) fertilizers and charcoal?
Yes
We are starting a homestead and getting away from all the fuss.
That’s kind of the point. A constant barrage of stupid and dangerous shit to keep you enraged until you burn put. You cannot stay enraged for four years and nobody will care to do anything if it’s a constant stream of small and big steps to fascism. They’re not removing all liberties at once, but in a lot of steps so that it becomes impossible to agree on which step becomes the straw to break the camel’s back.
What was that story warning people that if they use RedNote they’ll experience ‘Chinese style censorship’ for the first time?
US using the old if you can’t beat em approach
Yeah the US is making China look tame… Fucked up world we live in… Definitely the wrong timeline…
Maybe it’s just a bug.
It’s not censorship. It’s a private company that is regulating the content on its platform. Nothing is stopping you from using a different one or creating your own
As long as you don’t mind the fact that everyone else is on this particular one.
The network effect is a real thing, it’s not that simple.
Confirming this was the last straw and the moment I uninstalled all meta apps
What’s a two party state that’s one party down?
Sounds a bit like a…dictatorship
Every day is a day closer to the electorate realizing certain luxuries have been removed from their cages. Here’s hoping it’s sooner rather than later. And don’t be pathetic and turn to the democrats to help you. They were bought and paid for and will be lucky not to be disappeared.
Luigi, that you?
Ugh, excuse me, I’m a “dirty lib” and you can check my credentials on that one.
In reality, though, I’ve been saying since Novemeber we are on a fixed rail now and if there was once a way off it just passed us by. The sooner everyone comes to realize it the better but I can’t make everyone do it. So just spreading the word and hopefully they know I’m not trying to scare them but prepare them for the not so distant future.
And if I go with the first round of cullings I’m happy too because the horrors about to be witnessed will break any good person and my hearts weak.
That wasn’t a denial lol
I politely disagree about our fixed path, but to correct it will be so much harder now, no doubt. Just gotta keep at it.
Derailment, maybe, I just don’t see how we can use the system to break the system at this point. It would be worth a try but anytime I say the word “strike” I get bombarded with the most derisive vitriol. So, I’m just putting 2 and 2 together.
Don’t get me wrong, it seems bleak for sure, but they are banking on ppl giving up or losing energy. The uphill battle sucks, but we need to regroup, re-evaluate, and definitely push forward. If too many ppl give up, we sign our own demise :(
Zuckerburg is furious that dems dragged him before congress and tried to blame Trump winning on Facebook.
The Product Manager made the mistake of having the keyword be overtly banned by the SWEs.
What was intended was an algorithmic change to hide the content entirely and divert to “acceptable” topics while obfuscating the ban.
It will be corrected shortly.
I get censored here all the time.
