This would be a large and obvious escalation of meta's support for fascism if true and it's also very fakeable. I could believe it, but I'd need to see some people to verify.
I searched DDG for "el Salvador news censored by meta" and again but "by meta on Facebook" and got nothing, but that's not so unexpected. Where were these people who claimed to verify it?
Tested with a US VPN. Can confirm it only happens when using a US breakout.
You guys are in much more trouble than even the most pessimistic among you are able to grasp at this point.
I think you underestimate how pessimistic many of us are. People I talk to in stores or at work are grim.
Most humans don't take drastic action until they or someone sufficiently close to them is directly hurt. We can think of this as a moral failing or we can acknowledge that it's a witnessable fact about our species and do our best to plan around it.
The political system laid out by the constitution was supposed to prevent us getting here. But it's always been pretty shit, so no surprises that it failed to prevent this and is failing to stop it.
This was all over bluesky yesterday. Journalists reported seeing this themselves. I was waiting for a news report. It seems meta may have removed this censorship.
Supposedly a clip of Trump saying in an interview (with Oprah?), that republicans are easy to fool, then it turned out the episode was interrupted for some reason. There's a good chance it never happened, since none on the "breadtube" side of things used a clip of that interview around the time it supposedly still existed.
The sight "megauploads" is largely just a CP database at this point, and is likely a case of automatic flagging. Searching for "el Salvador prison" for instance doesn't yield the same result. Meta is a bad company, but this seems incidental.
