Zuckerberg and his minions at meta all deserve the summary execution.

I never want to hear the normies say they’re the ones with repressed opinions ever again.

Bro, society panders to you over and over and over and like a spoiled child y’all still whine it’s not enough. They even threw a tantrum over the mid 2010s era where there was supposedly enough room for all of us.

You think you're oppressed? How am I going to explain to my children that gay people exist? ooooooooooooooh

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

They're also gonna allow outright disinfo when it comes to transphobia because it's "a controversial issue" where they don't wanna take a stance anymore (not that they did much previously). Brace yourself, shit's gonna get real.

Frankly I think this is in direct response to the huge number of young people identifying as queer and probably some porky-happy -brained logic that it's causing the (white) birthrate drops. They think they can close pandora's box.

only-throw No maintenance, only labor.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they just want to give in to the latest scapegoat to direct anger away from themselves. Fascism-style.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A little bit of this, but also it seems like the tech industry across the board is casting their lot with the right. They have nothing left to gain by wearing the mask of a dead ideology (progressivism I.e. status quo but you only use slurs at home).

I also think part of this is personal. Zuckerberg looks at Elon and the legions of dweebs who fight to defend his honor. Zuckerberg has nothing like that. He's trying to transform from the hermit nerd into some sort of "based" influencer. He has personal illusions of becoming a celebrity politician some time in the future.

Extremely evil to explicitly carve out bigotry as an exception to your policy against insults.

And oh wow, the cognitohazards never end:

sexual promiscuity or other sexual immorality

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Allegations" doing so much work here, it should unionize.

"Given political and religious discourse" finally a tech company admitting to allowing conservatives and religious extremists to do whatever they want. If a leftist called them "weird" you'd know they'd be put on the ban shortlist.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

love how you aren't allowed to accuse someone of dishonesty, because who would go on the internet and tell lies after all? but please, go ahead spew as much bigotry as you want.

this place is literally the only usable social media platform

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I can even tell conservatives to eat shit and I won't get banned!

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm guessing that Meta got some flack form this, because the new policy has changed.

Not that this allegation isn't true, though. Somehow I keep needing to double check because this shit doesn't feel believable, and it still keeps ending up as true.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

You did notice that they are still explicitly greenlighting "insulting language" (their words) for trans and gay people and immigrants, and all forms of transphobic discourse common in the US and UK, right?

[–] KrasMazov@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I expected nothing out of that hellhole, but damn.

I hope Zuckerberg gets pinched to death by a thousand crabs.

Im pretty sure Meta also has different policies for different countries but they don't make it official to avoid backlash from the west. You can make racist, sexist, homophobic comments and even direct calls to violence against athiests and religious minorities if you live in poor religious countries and their moderation team wont do anything. They only take actions when a comment/post or a profile is mass reported which is often impossible to do because being a minority means you're outnumbered.

There's also this https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/06/everything-we-know-about-facebooks-secret-mood-manipulation-experiment/373648/ https://mashable.com/article/facebook-employees-react-teen-spying-app-blind

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah you're correct with what's going on, a lot of comments on here are missing the mark. Facebook and their subsidiaries operate in many countries where it's literally illegal to be LGBT, and women's rights are not the greatest. So they definitely have a "flexible" moderation policy so that they can operate globally in those countries. Most people in the US and Europe won't even notice because they're never going to go on Ugandan or Saudi Arabian facebook communities, for instance. And in the reverse, most users from Syria or Iraq for instance aren't going to see the European anti immigration Facebook communities. And in the rare cases there is crossover, mass reported comments get removed as you said.

This is not a defense of this practice by the way, just an explanation.

Corpo freaks were never our allies!!

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The sheeple: “Waaaaaaah! We’re being oppressed! Our super popular ideas are being silenced by these guidelines telling us to be nice to people! You disgusting leftists and your disgusting morals would never understand what it’s like.”

Also the sheeple: “Hey porky, change your community guidelines so we can bully innocent people!”

Porky: “ok”

Still the sheeple: “WaaaaaH! Us assholes are sooo oppressed!”

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I could see an onion headline saying "Meta makes exception in bullying clause for trans people" but that'd be too on the nose for them.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

"School makes exception to zero-tolerance bullying as long as it's losers being bullied."

[–] VernetheJules@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

They kinda have one but it's about their solemn duty as journalists to endanger as many trans lives as possible

[–] T34_69@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Love to create religious exceptions for bigotry

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

As soon as Trump got in the WH meta threw out the rainbow love is here yada yada yard sign into the trash.

I hope that giant statue of his wife falls on Zuckerberg and crushes him to death

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Upon further reflection I hope the statue manages to fall on his balls before crushing the rest of him so his last conscious thought is "ow my balls."

But I bet if I say someone is a fascist I'll get a ban for 14 days

Do it anyways, I find it quite cathartic to call boomers on facebook all sorts of names.

Sorry sweaty, mental health is only important if you're a school shooter

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They'd only do this if they thought there was more to be gained from siding with bigots. They think there are more people who want to call us mentally ill, "it", etc then who would be bothered by this.
