Facebook Censors the Falling Man (reclaimthenet.org)

If they censor everyone is angry, if they don't censor everyone is angry they didn't.

This is one of the core reasons censorship is a failed idea btw, no two people agree what should be censored or allowed. So no one actually wants censorship, or rather they all want different mutually exclusive forms of censorship.

But people, short-sightedly believe they will get their version...


Well said!


The big tech companies censor all kinds of crazy things. Channels discussing Ukraine war, for example, must use euphemisms. They cannot say RU soldier was killed. Instead, they may say something like RU soldier was 'demilitarized'.

And then, if you follow the advice to create your own forum elsewhere, big tech companies go after the basic internet services you need to run a site based on the flimsiest of excuses.


Do you mean flimsy excuses like, you’re inciting violence against others? You’re allowing your users to coordinate stalking?


Thank you FaceBook for preventing suicidal behavior among us. What a disgusting photo indeed!
