so much for Meta getting back to their “roots around free expression”.
I thought the “get back to free speech” crap just meant they ditch the fact checker, now that the orange overlord is back in charge of clown county. cbsnews.com/…/meta-facebook-instagram-fact-checki…
That’s just misdirection for all the other policy changes:
Meta on Tuesday announced sweeping changes to how it moderates content that will roll out in the coming months, including doing away with professional fact checking. But the company also quietly updated its hateful conduct policy, adding new types of content users can post on the platform, effective immediately.
Users are now allowed to, for example, refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it,’” according to a section of the policy prohibiting such speech that was crossed out. A new section of the policy notes Meta will allow “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality.”
it definitely does, i just like to take every chance I can to point out that our overlords are hypocrites and you shouldn’t trust a single word that they say.
Not trying to say Facebook is good…
But I think if someone criticise a company board member in “internal platform”, they will likely meet some consequence
Deleting the post seems to be the least of concern

who’d have believed that the site started to harass college girls and rate their attrativeness would be run by a guy who thinks assaulting your wife is ok.
