“Meta” is censoring anti-war and anti-genocide dissidents on all its platforms, in service of US imperialism. They are now targeting progressive writer Caitlin Johnstone. Another good reason for everyone to totally boycott “Meta”… Snip:

I am at risk of getting banned from both Instagram and Facebook as both Meta-owned platforms keep censoring my criticisms of Israel’s US-backed atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon, placing strikes on my accounts in the process.

    I’ve had my posts deleted from Facebook as well. I got the same message too about “trying to get likes in a misleading way”. Super shady

      Same. With me, the post was hidden, so I have no idea what it was. But I always use lib sources with FB, so it couldn’t have been anything that radical.

    Silicon Valley has been turtles all the way down, but for feds, before it even took its first baby steps in the 70’s and 80’s.

    Google was notably founded on federal government seed money, with the express purpose of funding a company that will have plausible deniability when it feeds 100% of the data the feds want back to them.

    I can’t get over the amount of times in the past few years where I’ve reported very obvious Islamophobia on FB and I got the message that “unfortunately this doesn’t violate our community guidelines”. On reddit-logo, i just got banned from the sub. Zuck probably got that message that if he wants to be a billionaire, he needs to play ball with the national security state.
