Hrant Dink prominent author was assassinated by a Turkish fascist back on January 14, 2007. Alin Ozinian, another Armenian reporter, wanted to mark the day by sharing his portrait on Instagram. The photo was removed citing "dangerous organisations and individuals" community standard.

Possible translation:

Instagram found Hrant Dink's photo dangerous and removed it. Let me write them an email saying 'they killed him in the middle of the street, rewarded his killers, don't be afraid of his dead body either.'

(machine translated)

Potential interpretation:

Instagram has removed Hrant Dink's photo, deeming it dangerous. Let me write them an email: 'They killed him in the middle of the street and rewarded his killers - at least don't be afraid of his dead body.'

To play devils advocate here, a bad translation of the post might interpret the first half of the sentence as "they should keep murdering you" instead of "even if they keep murdering you". But it's Facebook, so they could also just be on the fascists' side.

No meta platform gets the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. Unless they can show it was a benign action, their history tells me they were probably being malicious.

And people got mad at meta moving to community notes instead of shadowy truth police.

You think the company doesn't have the ability to curate the notes allowed by the community or to farm their own? It's always possible for a site owner to shape the messages on the site, even if it comes to a point of direct database manipulation.

Well, obviously something more open is better, but progress is still progress.

You can't "assassinate" a portrait.
