Meta rep flagged "critiques of tech industry figures" as "sensitive or controversial content." I spoke to @gilduran about concerns over how free Meta's new "free speech" policies really are https://www.usermag.co/p/meta-rep-flagged-critiques-of-tech-industry-figures-as-sensitive-or-controversial-content
Meta rep flagged 'critiques of tech industry figures' as 'sensitive or controversial content'

Meta said that the journalist "should never have received this response," but the incident set off a wave of concern over censorship online.

@taylorlorenz @gilduran Everything they „dislike“ is framed „sensitive“, yet they may bully anyone, as they like.

Not surprised, last week Meta blocked searches for info on a current cyclone threat because they "broke" community standards (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-05/meta-blocked-facebook-searches-cyclone-alfred/105013014). Their community standards model is simply broken as it uses broken automation models.
Facebook searches for Cyclone Alfred were blocked for containing content breaching 'community standards'

Despite hundreds of thousands of accounts talking about Cyclone Alfred on Facebook, social media giant Meta was blocking or hiding search results about the impending storm before being contacted by ABC NEWS Verify.

@taylorlorenz @gilduran as always - if someone offensively makes free speech arguments, be careful! More often than not they mean the freedom of very certain kinds of speech and want to distract you from their favorite "censorship" issues.

Greetings to Columbia University in the land of the free from tyrannical Europe where you're being imprisoned by ICE for your speech. That's what JD Vance meant, right? 🤔
