Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.
This bullshit is just going to get worse and worse.
This is probably due to people mass reporting these pages or profiles and them being automatically blocked or some shit. But yeah, @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com is right. It’s really a funny coincidence.
I’ve always been curious if it would be worth someone setting up a movement of people that set up meta or Instagram account and then just go through in Mass report. Obviously they don’t pay for moderators so like eventually the system will autoflack the post and take it down.
Basically do the same thing that Facebook is doing to suppressors but to the opposing side.
I don’t use Facebook myself so I would never be able to do something like that but like surprised someone else hasn’t
Considering the recent policy change saying it’s ok to specifically accuse lgbtq+ of being mentally ill, no, it’s not just reports. Not a chance. This is by design.
It’s only been one week and I’m already fucking tired. There’s going to be four fucking years of this fucking bullshit. That’s if we’re lucky and he doesn’t transform the US into a full blown dictatorship with president for life status.
This will not happen, due to the end goal of what they want being directly against the constitution. And even if it did we would see a full reversal of power in the other direction. There is no way that they would be able to accomplish something like that without a full Civil War again, but this time I’d be even worse because instead of just fighting the South in the North you’d be fighting your neighbors cuz it’d be red versus blue.

I may be hitting the copium, but I feel like this will not happen. It feels like having influence over social media platforms is really powerful, but the Internet is still there. It’s easy to send or find information if you want to, much easier than before the Internet. It’s much easier for set up or use a new information outlet than it was to start a TV station or newspaper. I thought no retailers could beat Sears, until Walmart came. People protested Walmart saying if they don’t like your CD for political reasons, people just won’t buy it. No one can touch Walmart. Then came Amazon. I think social media platforms will be even more short-lived in their influence, especially considering how easy it is to “change the channel” or start a new “channel”.
The people in China, and to a lesser extent Russia, want to have a word with you about how the government can control the internet.
It’s not happening year yet. I’m hopeful that people will just go around the censors to get the content they want. I’m concerned that when Tiktok shut off its service and some people wrongly thought the gov’t “blocked” the packets, many Americans were okay with that.
