this is likely to keep as much people on windows as possible in an effort prevent people from being able to disable (or not have at all) things like location tracking, telemetry, etc. the us govt is probably going to crack down hard on “terrorist” threats (aka socialists, palestine supporters, and even anyone moderately critical of us imperialism), so they’re gonna need all the information they can gather about people’s online activities
Would have been a good reason to leave facebook / Meta – but I already did …
The irony is that they said this from something running on a Linux box.
The funny bit is that I’ve seen multiple references to “Meta/Facebook finally stops censorship” from right-wing-ish sources (probably because they stopped fact-checking and removed some moderation guidelines). And now, this…
Yeah, they now no longer censor things like saying that LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill or that women are “household objects” or that all immigrants are criminals (regardless of immigration status). So, yes they stopped censoring hate-speech that far right people don’t consider hate speech because they consider those things as accepted facts.
This issue is more likely about the perception that anyone with an interest in technology is a cyber criminal. Same reason that the Bush administration’s NSA flagged subscribers to the Liinux forums. Knowledge is power and they believe anyone who wants knowledge is a threat to their power. They’d prefer to go back to the dark ages and die of dysentery than accept women as equal, gay people as human, or brown people as neighbors (which is even more ironic when coming from other brown people).
Gee. Sounds a lot like CCP. Oh well.

Your comment shows you fundamentally do not understand how societal expectations and rejection affect people psychologically. If half the world was constantly trying to make your life hell, I bet your mental health wouldn’t be the best either.
It is far too common to point at depression or anxiety as the problem instead of a symptom of the actual problem.
But making that distinction would require critical thinking, a skill that, for someone calling other people “brainwashed idiots”, seems to be sorely lacking…You’re a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.
Statistically speaking most LGBTQ+ ARE mentally ill. This is not hate speech and you’re a brainwashed idiot if you think it is.
It’s disingenuous to equate statements like “Most LGBT people suffer from anxiety and depression” and “Being gay is a mental illness”. It’s the second kind that is the problem, and I don’t think anyone is worrying about the first. In fact it’s probably in the interest of the LGBT community to spread this message around and get more help.
You are so far up your own ass you somehow blamed the censorship of an operating system within a social media website on the entire far right. <…> How about you blame the oligarchs and big tech CEOs for reprogramming your mind to think and dislike what they want you to think and dislike.
“They” in the second paragraph seems to refer to the people in power, I don’t see where they are blaming “the entire far right”.
Might be, but correlation is not causation. I can understand being anxious when people like trump come to power and I am the first target of repression.
The irony is Facebook contributes to opensource linux, heavily for btrfs which they use for certain data storage.
Security threat to the US Fascist Government maybe. Maybe coinicdence that it was near Jan 20th. Maybe I am looking to deep but looks like USA is trying to be North Korea or China . Use Windows face recognition and telemetry to to track users, censor alternative OSs from public knowledge.
Why do try to ban Linux mentions? Linux doesn’t show ads unlike Windows 10+ so their ad campaign is useless on Linux therefore malicious in their eyes.
People still use Facebook?
