    They’ll eventually say it was a mistake, and then immediately go back to doing their normal BS.

    Welcome to the outcome of poorly regulated capitalism - corporate benefit outweighs societal benefit.

      They already said it was a mistake when the Kansas Reflector was completely blocked, and once they said they fixed it, the website could be linked but not the article criticizing Meta specifically.

    Yet they allow a known neo nazi (stonetoss) to say and do whatever he wants on Facebook and Instagram.

    Even reddit perma banned that assclown.

    Is this the Onion? Facebook has always censored criticism of Facebook. It’s kinda their thing. They also censor criticism of conservative ideologies. They always have.
