Meta is accused of censoring a non-profit newspaper and an independent journalist who criticized the company
Meta blocked a newspaper’s critical report about it on Facebook and its other social sites for hours, sparking a backlash that intensified after the company appeared to subsequently block links to the website of an independent journalist who republished the report.
Wholly unsurprising
I mean, I'm a little surprised they're being so obvious about it. Really showing their ass on this one.
They need to bend over further.
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.
That’s worse honestly
Wattttttt
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.
Sounds like just the kinda company we need to get into the Fediverse!
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.
