Years ago I got put in “FB jail” for defending a trans girl from bible thumping women who converged to attack her on a well known trans girl’s fb feed. Fb is just now admitting they never cared.
This isn’t part of an extremely worrying cultural shift at all. Will trans people have to wear a pink triangle like the rest of the queer community? Or will we get a special symbol to differentiate us?
What a fun and exciting future ahead of all of us. 😐
Honestly surprised any moderating was going on since it was page after page of transparently fake "The Rock Calls Hailey Duff WOKE" interspersed with whole oyster shell sandwich recipes...you're telling me it's going to get *worse*?
Facebook has been fine with all manner of racism, misogyny, and anti LGBTQ bigotry for years. And I have repeatedly been put in facebook jail for things like simply saying "liar" in response to dangerous lies about COVID or the election supposedly being stolen.
If you say anything against men on Facebook--especially white men--it's automatic Facebook jail for you for "hate speech". People criticize the TikTok algorithm for introducing "unalive" into the lexicon, but Meta was first on that bullshit
I got suspended for calling one person “silly” and another “a twit” (with an i) but the graphic “Black Lives Splatter” showing a person mowing down protesters that I reported was deemed perfectly acceptable
Censoring bad opinions doesn't make them go away. It gives them backhanded credibility (such powerful ideas, they cannot be defeated in an open debate!)
As a misinformation researcher, these changes will DIRECTLY increase partisanship and harm, including political violence (read: people will die). We know that fact-checking works, even across Dem and Rep users!
THE AGE OF LIES: Social media (Meta, X, IG, et.) has ended all pretense of relaying facts to the public, the public news media (print, PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc) must call out "Leadership Lies" every day on their reports. Trump's "news conference" yesterday was laced with lies. https://tinyurl.com/bdh5uvev
They....they've been allowing it? I was permabanned across all meta platforms for standing up to bigots slinging slurs because trump won. They've always been a shit company.

According to the article, pretty sure it says Facebook and Co preserve the language of protected classes or whatever so not sure why it's thought discriminate a little is ok, but a lot is a no go? Isn't that what is done anyways?
It's genius - all the hours people will spend writing community notes that won't remove the original content, nor touch the things said in private groups. All the hours Zuck gets people to waste that could be used IRL to help prepare for mid-terms & other stuff that might really make a difference.
I don't know who does #Zuckerberg's hair, but it's obviously not a Gay stylist because if it was, he'd look much better. right now, he looks like Annie
Really? Because I’m trans and pansexual, and I’m the only person in my father’s family who’s not completely insane - and I mean that sincerely! I’m the only one not on some form of medication because I’m sane.
I come from a family where half of us are diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Growing Bluesky and removing Daily Active Users from X and Meta weakens the power of their platforms.
Let's grow and strengthen OUR community!
Facebook knows that extremely offensive content generates a lot of engagement via angry boomers. They factor that into decisions like this.

I’m not saying the two are connected. What I am saying, is that every LGBTQIA+ person I’ve met has problems with this.
(And a good reminder for the gays who think this isn’t about them too.)
