I wonder if they would allow TERF ads. Or is that still too feminist for them?
thankfully TERFs are never about the F part, they’re mostly just TERs.
Trans-Exclusionary Radicals
They only react with cis isomeric alkenes?
I’m sure they would, until the terfs are no longer useful to them
Yet half of the ads on Mega platforms are literal scams
It is a good thing.
Haha I think so too but Lemmy won’t agree. :)
Regulating Meta which is truly accountable nowhere is like trying to find a good place to store radioactive waste for tens of thousands of years. Everyone outside the US should just ban them.
Get out of here with your pro-oil propaganda.
Are you drunk? Solar and wind is better now and eventually fusion will be.
I see incredibly violent and bigoted content all the time on Meta platforms and always report it. Rarely does anything get taken down. But feminism bad I suppose.
Nazi? Fine. Hate? No problem. Scams? That’s free speech.
Women? Oh it’s time to do something!
Racism? Yeah, that’s cool.
Wishing racists were dead? That’s a banning.
feminism is a contradiction to toxic manosphere thats why, and meta needs a conservative voting base to stay alive.
That was last week
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added.
Yet “social topics” they don’t agree with are banned lol
Also
they were able to earn money on their posts through the platform’s “Content Monetization” program — which is invitation-only.
I’m actually glad it’s invitation-only because there are some subjects on which I could write great informative content that would likely have great engagement from the people interested in those niches, but this way I’m not even tempted to log in and start posting lol
Once again, Zuck the suck.
The CIA via its VC fund InQTel is the architect of today’s information landscape. All of this is very much on purpose.
what did you read to learn this? i wanna read it too
It’s the same company behind the Pokémon Go app that was actually a cover by the CIA to map entire places around the world.
The fact that these morons are destroying the world with impunity, openly, and no one is even attempting to regulate it is the wildest part of this timeline. They’ve brainwashed how many countries now? And people are just watching and waiting to be picked off.
People realise they can just stop viewing social feeds and the quality of life either doesn’t change or sometimes improves?
No they don’t unfortunately. Social media and any other institution only has as much power as we give it. For some reasons people just can’t quit social media even while they actively protest it.
“After reaching out to Meta about why the promo campaign had been stomped out, the company replied that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.”
Wow.
not that i’m a meta fan, I fucking hate that company, but this swings both ways. Imagine your local coffee shop is boosting posts about traditional marriage and pro-life themes. They get blocked as well.
We going to ban Churches from showing the cross next?
ya bro, we’re going to ban churches from showing crosses next. you got it.
They do pay “content creators” who have views on the opposite side of the political aisle and when caught paying far-right activists, they said:
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added.
While PAYING to advertise a book with feminism as a theme is not OK. They’re clearly pushing an agenda.
I just don’t go to that coffee shop. Problem solved. They can say whatever they want. If I don’t support it I don’t go. I don’t see how the coffee shop argument hold up. And if enough people hold the same views they close.
Meta however is too big to fail. Which gives them a free pass to pass their cancerous views onto society while knowing no matter how much the general public hates them and their shitty views they will continue to use the platform because their friends and family still use it. Enshittification. If my coffee shop enshittifies I tell them to pound sand.
There’s no way to get around “any mention of civil rights” though. That covers all humans.
Maybe. This was an advertisement for a book that had those themes.
Personally, I don’t want either to be excluded.
God forbid you talk about social topics on SOCIAL media…
advertisements shouldn’t look like actual content, not like that stopped them before but ads really shouldn’t look like real content
Sounds like you need some reeducation.
When I read the first 4 words I had a hope…
Fuck zuck. Of course a pathetic man like him would fight feminism as soon as he felt comfortable doing so
Lol. Feminism should be the standard. Everything else is simply sexism.
This is the problem with social media. Outrage drives clicks, so “feminism” is portrayed as a caricature of brightly died hair, “ugly” women, feeble men, and the stereotype of unemployed art students.
It’s exactly what we were warned about in books like 1984 and animal farm. The media controls thoughts, who controls the media?
Nah. It’s more that feminism started as equal rights, which everyone agrees with. But now it’s a hostile movement that doesn’t respect men and masculinity at all. Anyone can see that but they think it’s OK. Who needs masculinity anymore right? :)
You’re kinda stupid, huh?
Feminism is not single coherent ideology with a linear development. It’s a movement with numerous offshoots who disagree vehemently with each other. There are anti-trans feminists, and there are feminists that are indeed hostile towards men.
The vast majority of feminists I’ve encountered in my actual life - not online - just want rights for women in a world in which the global majority are still denied basic autonomy.
I think its different in different countries too, so this topic will definently divide people. Depending on where your country is on the feminism scale, it may just have started fighting for equal rights, or it may have gone way too far in the female direction, and started attacking masculinity and pushing down men for doing ordinary masculine things like watching a woman or talking to a woman.
Women don’t stop wanting more control over men’s behavior once they have equal rights. It becomes about controlling men’s behavior so it suits the woman. Things like thinking guys are creeps for watching a woman (unless he is attractive, then its fine). The woman decides if he is attractive and therefore if he is a creep or not.
That last sentence speaks volumes as to your character
And it is wanting.
this is not true
So would promoting a play about how great capitalism is get filtered out I wonder?
I’m fortunate to be of the age where I’ve grown out of Facebook so never bothered to setup Instagram.
Moving on from WhatsApp is hard though 😡
Use Signal instead.
I forced my family and all my friends onto it many many years ago. Fuck Zuck.
Did you know, if you use uBlock origin, you can add these to your “My Filters” custom filter list:
||facebook.com^ ||instagram.com^And you’ll never accidentally surf to one of those again?
Sadly some restaurants use Facebook for their menu or specials…
Those are the restaurants I walk back out of.
That’s a shame. Businesses gotta market themselves and sadly social media is often used.
Theres a bbq spot near me with the best ribs/brisket in the area. Standard web menu with ecommerce. With weekly specials on Facebook. I’d never have ordered a brisket bomb sandwich without the FB image.
If I had to describe that meal in a word. Mouthgasm
Hate the platform. Not the restaurant.
I used fetchrss.com to create an RSS feed for my favorite TTRPG store that uses Facebook as their website. I haven’t had a Facebook account in like 15 years, but I can still see when they post something now.
this is not a shame, this is a rational decision.
