But Facebook is the one deciding I should see my conservative relatives bitch about being silenced. If I had my way I would never hear my uncle's take on whether trans women are women, an issue which he apparently holds so close to his heart that he can't go ten seconds without posting about it

You can, quite easily, unsub from your uncle so he doesn't show up in your feed. He'll still be your Facebook friend and won't even know you aren't seeing his drivel anymore. You can do this. Facebook doesn't need to be the arbiter of morality.

It's ok if you block them for you. It's not ok if Facebook blocks them for you without your input. It's especially not ok when they do that in mass to control the political landscape.

I very strongly believe that filters should not be imposed on people, but rather be privately curated.

It's also not okay if the president shoots people in broad daylight. Seems weird to complain about how they could potentially that when they ain't doing that

Nexus mods is doing that. Facebook is doing that. Reddit is doing that. They're all deciding which arguments you're allowed to see and which ones are strawman. You're all tribalistic and only see sides instead of methods.

Nexus mods might be doing that, but I think they're well within their rights to say "no abject homophobia." Reddit and Facebook are super not doing that, hence my constant seeing people whine about it even though it isn't happening

Facebook just paid Harvard 500 million dollars to silence people who were investigating how Facebook is doing harm by controlling the narrative with their analytics.

Google Link because I have no idea which journalists to trust anymore.

I know Reddit is doing it because they did it with me when I moderated a huge sub and tripped their analytics.

Everyone is trying to control everyone else because they think it makes them safer. The means they use cause harm. Censoring like this is wrong, whether it's their right or not. Don't use Nazi tactics to get rid of Nazis.

God DAMN how deep is your head buried in that sand?

I guess the sand is full of my conservative family members screaming incessantly about the things they're supposedly being silenced about
