"Meta" is censoring anti-war and anti-genocide dissidents on all its platforms, in service of US imperialism. They are now targeting progressive writer Caitlin Johnstone. Another good reason for everyone to totally boycott "Meta"... Snip:

I am at risk of getting banned from both Instagram and Facebook as both Meta-owned platforms keep censoring my criticisms of Israel’s US-backed atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon, placing strikes on my accounts in the process.

Every single Silicon Valley platform is doing this.

so many good IG accounts have been banned the last few months. literal fascists of course are allowed to run free.

I've had my posts deleted from Facebook as well. I got the same message too about "trying to get likes in a misleading way". Super shady

Same. With me, the post was hidden, so I have no idea what it was. But I always use lib sources with FB, so it couldn't have been anything that radical.

Silicon Valley has been turtles all the way down, but for feds, before it even took its first baby steps in the 70's and 80's.

Google was notably founded on federal government seed money, with the express purpose of funding a company that will have plausible deniability when it feeds 100% of the data the feds want back to them.

Meanwhile USian libs call other countries authoritarian

I can't get over the amount of times in the past few years where I've reported very obvious Islamophobia on FB and I got the message that "unfortunately this doesn't violate our community guidelines". On reddit-logo, i just got banned from the sub. Zuck probably got that message that if he wants to be a billionaire, he needs to play ball with the national security state.

Over in the alternate universe where we don't shoot the Vulcans who make first contact, this gets Meta executives and managers imprisoned and hung at the Hague

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
