    Sounds like an issue with their work force. Without placing my tin foil hat on they need to hire more people to moderate and clean TOS breaking content.

    puts tinfoil hat on

    Meta is purposefully allowing far right militias to organize because a libertarian/conservative hellscape would mean their corporation becomes one of the largest fiefdoms.

        Thiel definitely was at one point, but American libertarians have nothing to do with liberty and probably never have.

          Thiel has always been pretty fascist even if he called himself a libertarian. I mean, he wrote that women’s suffrage made capitalism and democracy incompatible in 2009 (guess which he cares about more). He was a speech writer for William Bennett, a neoconservative in the Reagan administration. He founded Palantir. He spoke at Trump’s RNC convention.

          Maybe he was a libertarian in his youth when he first read Ayn Rand or something but his actions as an adult are far closer to traditional fascism than traditional libertarianism. (Not implying he wants genocide or anything that “fascist” sometimes implies. I’m using it to mean the core of the ideology that’s reactionary, authoritarian, and willing to use the power of big government and corporations to limit freedom. Please don’t sue me Peter Thiel!)
