I'm trans. I do have mental illness. It's because society keeps sending me signals that I shouldn't exist.

Reminder to get off Facebook and Instagram

This isn't the first time they've pulled stuff like this nor will it be the last

Let’s be honest, they already allow rampant, dangerous misinformation, bullying, and hate speech. They’re just being a little more honest about it, now.

Religion is a mental illness.

I'll bite. Meta, obviously, never actually cared about free speech. Zuckerberg also said that they are about to flood the platforms with AI bots to increase engagement. I'd say getting rid of fact checkers is only to avoid having their own bots automatically brought down by their own moderation. The rest is a façade

People need to stop using Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and Instagram.

The whole of American society is slowly shifting towards widespread acceptance of violence against queer people. Any notion that our society or culture has progressed in any way is fake. It's empty. The post Stonewall era of perceived progress is over. For many queer people, the approach of January 20th is a shadow encroaching on the light of lives we hoped to live. Fear is becoming very commonplace in our communities. There's no mistaking what the people in power plan to do to us. And every day, widespread society shows more and more that that's fine. Any debate that we deserve rights is over. We are a problem for those in power to choose how to get rid of. Our lives are completely at the whims of the state, a state now being handed over to a group of people who delight in our suffering. Who delight in the suffering of children.

I fully expect states like Florida to criminalize being queer as soon as Trump takes office. They will start to raid night clubs and arrest trans people under crossdressing laws and gay people under sodomy laws. Just like they did in the 60s. We will be forced into hiding. We will grow up never understanding who we are or that its okay for people like us to exist. A whole generation of queer children will die because of laws like this. Nothing has changed.

You can now refer to women as property on Facebook and they are A-OK with that! But you will, and it has happened to me, catch an instant ban if you say all men are trash.

Fucking insanity, right wing popularism here we come.

“It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,” Meta’s newly appointed chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan, wrote in a blog post outlining the changes.

This is the same Joel Kaplan that participated in the brooks brothers riot stopping the recount of the ballots during the bush v gore election in 2000 where the republicans stole the election forever changing the course of American history.

So will the EU call him up to explain or do nothing?

Dude does realise he operates outside of the US theatre as well, yeah? And his shitty site was already drawing heat from many governments.

I stopped letting Meta take my attention once they started making my feed fill itself with "reccomended" "you might like" pages and profiles that I at no point ever clicked on or searched for.

before, my feed was exclusively my friends content, and pages I followed.

now, they fill the gaps with evangelicals, gambling, and idiots posting chinese and russian war propaganda.

yup, get the fuck out. im done.

Soon the Metaverse will resemble a classic CoD lobby.

It feels like the statements about the removal of fact-checking (which is all I heard about on the news) is misdirection, so the changes made deep in their policy documents get less attention than they deserve.

Presumably they'll roll back their censorship of Palestinian journalists now they love free speech so much.

He praised X, a competitor, in his video announcement. I guess Musk was right. "Zuck is a cuck."

They already allowed it on Facebook, they just pretended they didn't while that kind of speech thrived on Facebook.

Facebook is a shitty place to be. In related "no shit, sherlock" news, the sun is still hot.

Something tells me that Facebook does not feel the same if you say that about Republicans.

The timing of this right before the incoming us admin is not a coincidence.

“getting rid” of restrictions on speech about “topics like immigration, gender identity and gender” that the company describes as frequent subjects of political discourse and debate. “It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,”

Yet when my mom tried to post about a museum visit, Facebook wouldn't let her because it contained the word "Lenin". Interesting.

Delete it

When you finish reading this comment, you will forget you were ever gay.

People need to get a grip. This really feels like mass psychosis.

1. Walk into Nazi bar.
2. Pay dues to be a member (consume advertising, provide personal data).
3. Be astonished at the fascist rhetoric of the Nazi bar!

If it were possible it would be fascinating to study the brains of people who do this. Is it old scar tissue from physical blows? Lesions from infections or illness? Just too much drugs and alcohol? Perhaps it's a vascular issue from failing organs and too much salt? Food dye, radiation, lead?

Elon Musk is gay

META is failing. Mark is bending the knee because that's his only move.
