Read the article guys, don't fall into the headline trap. Facebook is definitely a bad guy, but it's not the bad guy here.

Another case of Meta cowering in front of local extremist laws. For those arguing that it should follow the local laws, hell no and fuck you. Do you realize Saudi Arabia for instance officially calls atheists terrorists and that we could imagine Meta handing over lists of atheists based on private conversations to the Saudi government to have them beheaded using some bogus anti-terrorism search warrant? We're not very far from that if we still believe Meta did nothing wrong.
