Qasim Rashid, Esq.

I've been on Facebook/Meta for decades, and just yesterday for the first time ever, they censored an article I wrote. The topic? Criticism of Netanyahu for his war crimes.

This is a deeply concerning trend and one that undermines human rights. My latest: https://qasimrashid.substack.com/p/meta-facebook-has-begun-to-censor

Meta (Facebook) Has Begun To Censor My Writing

A reminder of why we cannot relent in our advocacy for human rights and justice, and why your support to counter this censorship becomes increasingly important every single day.

@QasimRashid I just deleted my FB account for this reason. Not me getting censored, others that I follow. Now you too. A growing trend for maga and the far right.

@QasimRashid When #Biden is Netanyahu's staunchest allied, and cinically has chosen to ignore the ongoing #genocide , more so a private company such as Meta ... #Israel #palestine #gaza

@QasimRashid
Does any human ever read the stuff that is censored? Or are postings banned if certain code phrases are used?

Welcome to Mastodon.

What might be the magnum to the skull of 'big social media'.

They didn't censor me, that I know of, but they allowed the brain washing of my family, so they gotta go.

@QasimRashid Facebook is owned by ?. Social media with a subliminal agenda.

@QasimRashid
part of the reason I'm here. it's not just your writing, many of my posts are buried and none of my friends even see them.

@QasimRashid maybe consider leaving the corporate hellscapes?

@QasimRashid As someone who had a Facebook account and has seen people get censored for criticism of Netanyahu's war crimes, I can confirm that Meta/Facebook has censored a lot of people's writings for the same reason

@QasimRashid This is very worrisome. They just censored my post from October last year about actions Stefanik took to help Trump's efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results.

@QasimRashid They took down a Democracy Docket article I had posted months ago. So I sent Democracy Docket another $25.

Fuck FB, fuck Zuck. Just more fascism.

@QasimRashid They did the same for me for an article about Donald Trump citing "Cybersecurity".

@QasimRashid And the kicker is, since they’re not responsible for the content, they’re not responsible for the moderation of it either!

Nice legislation there, USA.
