Every major media outlet in the world is going to cover Meta's decision to allow Trump back onto Facebook and Instagram.

Almost none of them have covered the systematic censorship that Arab and Muslim folks, sex workers, and trans activists face on those same platforms.

Almost none of them will cover the ways platforms bending to the will of authoritarian governments abroad.

By letting Trump make himself the center of attention, we’re utterly failing those most impacted.

@FeralRobots i mean, for what it's worth the ACLU has consistently opposed legislation like SESTA/FOSTA that led to widespread deplatforming of sex workers, and has opposed platforms' over-removal of Arab and Muslim speech, etc. They certainly could and should dedicate more resources to this. But it's also wrong to imply they haven't been part of these fights.
