Meta was throttling pro-palestinian accounts on Threads. I couldn't post anything but pictures for 2 days.
Remember Instagram's auto translate "bug"?
what was it?
Instagram ‘Sincerely Apologizes’ For Inserting ‘Terrorist’ Into Palestinian Bio Translations
The "see translation" feature for user bios was auto-translating phrases that included "Palestinian" and “alhamdulillah” into "Praise be to god, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom."

shit website
There's mull for android. On ios you can use firefox focus, ddg, or brave
On Android, you can also use Firefox and install unlock origin. And dark reader. And whatever other extension you want.
While true, this is a relatively new feature on the Firefox app. Yes, I know it was available on Nightly for awhile.
uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android is not new. I'd guess at least 10 years old at this point?
To be fair, Firefox on Android used to support all extensions. Then they killed it for some boneheaded reason, brought back ublock and a handful of others, and recently opened it up fully again.
Its 2023 my dude. Use nextdns on router if you have one or ublock origin addon with Firefox.
Shit website but the damage it can do to modern society is real.
There is a wave of censorship and McCarthyist witch hunting against Pro Palestinian voices happening in the West. It is profoundly disturbing and shows how hollow the West's claims to championing personal liberty is.
This is the sort of thing that freedom of speech is supposed to protect, but that idea has become so completely destroyed by Western people that I don't see any hope for people like that poor influencer.
He'll have to make his own website, or move to PixelFed or something.
It's almost like social media companies are pushing biased narratives...
Wow look at all these big horrible corporations that everyone knows are horrible siding with modern day nazism. And all of this could have been avoided if they gave these fucking companies china consequences the instant they started misbehaving instead of doing fucking nothing.
if they gave these fucking companies china consequences
Post a photo of the Tiananmen Square massacre and see what happens.
Are you actually saying something here or are you just being sinophobic?
Giving criticism to something is a phobia now? lol this place makes Reddit look like the Platonic Academy of Athens.
Pardon me for getting them mixed up with the racists who go around shouting Tiananmen Square Massacre whenever China gets brought up.
the racists
Criticizing a nation for murdering it's own people is being racist against those people. That's totally not retarded.
How is it that this article doesn't state why his accounts was suspended? What did Meta say the suspension was for?
Because Meta has not given an explanation to him or anyone. Hence why the article says "His Twitter account is still suspended for unclear reasons. "
I'm going to guess that X number of people reported the account in Y hours so it was temporarily banned until some third-world, minimum-wage worker had time to look at it.
Of course, can't have people facing reality and risking them not consuming content on your awful platform now can we, must capture attention spans at all costs and reality just ain't cutting it for them
Capitalists gonna capitalist, no surprise there.
To think that a company like Facebook could care less about some dead family members would be a mistake. They only, at best, occasionally pretend to care to ensure they keep the money coming in.
