Just saw this scrolling through Facebook. I don't know anything about the matter, but my point remains valid: using other people's platforms does not and never will guarantee the safety of your data.
@_elena 's video is extremely relevant: https://tube.bsd.cafe/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
@sam thank you!
@distrowatch please, did what's described (in the Tom's Hardware article) ever reach a conclusion that was satisfying, or less astounding?
@_elena https://www.facebook.com/groups/linux.fans.group is present with 373 thousand members, so I guess that deletion (if that's what it was, technically) was reverted.
This is not to promote Facebook, I'm simply late to the party.

@grahamperrin @sam @_elena @stefano After about a week of appeals and protests we were told users were able to post about Linux and link to DistroWatch in most regions.
It seems each Facebook region/country has its own rules though so whether we were blocked (and whether the term "Linux" was blocked) would depend on where you live.
