"If these issues are not resolved quickly they risk fuelling conspiracy theories and damaging Meta's reputation."

Meta has a reputation? Surely, that thing was mutilated beyond all recognition a decade ago. And conspiracy theories are Meta's bread and butter.

While users who type "#Democrat" or "#Democrats" see no results, the hashtag "Republican" returns 3.3 million posts on the social media platform.

By manually searching Instagram for "Democrats", rather than clicking on a hashtag, users are greeted by a screen reading "we've hidden these results".

"Results for the term you searched for may contain sensitive content," it says.

There are also limited results when people search for "Republicans" as opposed to "Republican".

And I'm sure the "free-speech absolutists" were up in arms. /s

TBH, if you're searching Facebook for information, all you're gonna get is ragebait anyway, even when it works. Also, why are you still on Facebook?

They say "resolved quickly" as if it was an error and not something intended.

It was either a test or a flex. It was certainly not a mistake in terms of…oh, I accidentally uploaded a censor list to the platform.

It is a signal to the orange guy, as removing fact checks. Meta(facebook) just wants to profit from corrupt government, just like the other big tech.

They say accident on public but show how they have power over their user base.

As the Hitler greeting of mr Musk is only a “accident” officially, but a clear sign to nazis that it is now OK to show themself. As the pardoning of about 1000 Nazis was from trump.

If you are in America and not a Nazi, I fear it is time to arm yourself…

This constitution needs a revision, and anti democracy laws that disturb the aberration of power (executive, legislative, judical and investigative reporting) like pardoning, fillebuster, etc.

Supreme court needs revork as well, it can not be, that a single person chooses who is on those seats and that they stay forever till death is very flawed.
