“The Kansas Reflector published an artical about Meta censoring environmental articles about climate change — deeming them ‘too controversial’.

Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”

:troll: Yes, but isn't it more censoring to not be able to reach all people locked up in the walled gardens?! Think Aral! Big brain style! Size matters!!! The Fediverse must grow. Because with federation everything else grows too: freedom, fairness, equality… :ablobcatrave:

I doubted they would ever federate this far, but assuming they go all the way, won't their shitty policies lead people to move from there to here if the lock-in is gone? If none of fedi federated with them, wouldn't you expect them to retain their users and grow faster than the fedi does? I see a growing #threads as a way to kill #xitter, and federation eventually killing them. Threads talking about federation is good PR for us too. #SocialWeb

what's your nightmare scenario?

Meta would just distort, restrict or shut down federation if it threatened their numbers.

The same behaviors are happening with Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, and CoPilot. It's relatively easy to spot AI bias when it is amplified, it's more insidious when there is omission, obnubilation, and obfuscation.

Reminds me a lot of Google, which censored critical articles on its Google Plus platform.

Google censors at every level—it's just what they do

Google censors at every level, whether it's innocent Google Plus posts or its planned search engine for the People's Republic of China.

Facebook / Meta's censor-bots are out of control.
They are refusing to review or let me post an article about Estonian deportations: https://estonianworld.com/life/25-march-victims-soviet-deportations-remembered-estonia/
that I picked up from Estonian World's page on Facebook

The victims of Soviet deportations remembered in Estonia

On 25 March 1949, over 20,000 Estonians were seized in a few days and deported to remote areas of Siberia by the Soviet Union.
