That’s what happens when you sukk the zukk
Instagram is Facebook so no surprise there.
My wife is very progressive and believes in human rights. Her Facebook feed went conservative about a week ago now with constant right wing propaganda.
Big tech has gone full fascist for a bit now
How else you get big bucks from selling surveillance tech to the state? Not with principled politicians.
It’s really disturbing seeing social media start leaning this way. It’s very obvious controlled fascist propaganda. Have you seen what Twitter is now? It’s actually creepy and insane.
This is how everything works under capitalism.
Yep. Has been since before I was born. I don’t know if it’s ever been this blatantly obvious before. But I guess it always seems that way when you’re living through it.
Capitalism? Are these paid services? This is bribery. They are getting something from the government for pushing their agenda.
They are paid services. The ad companies pay the services for access to the services resources.
Ads? Are they not talking about user generated content?
Remove yourself from algo driven sites, set up an rss reader and hand pick your media, subcribe to newsletters of trustworthy media sites, delete useless apps from your phone or better jailbreak it and install graphene, get an e-reader secondhand and start reading etc etc.
“We use technology or a review team to identify content that should be covered,” a notice obscuring the post reads. “This post doesn’t go against our Community Standards, but may contain images that some people might find upsetting.”
Yeah, I bet.
“What the f**k, Instagram?” a Bluesky user wrote.
k.
“We can say ‘fuck’,” this lemmy user wrote.
This is a direct quote from the article
Welcome to China.
Facebook is a privately owned company that is responsible for their own actions.
Something interesting to me is how the left takes these things on the chin. In these comments there are lots of comments like “yea well they all do this”. Compare that to the right during covid who would take screenshots and make sure everybody knew this was happening and not only that it was happening but how this would lead to dystopian authoritarian rule that threaten each and every person. I see this over and over again with each and every opportunity to show people how bad things are getting. But instead we snuff out these things ourselves and just move along.
The left have no bite. They are all bark
Can we make this character be the face of leftists from now on. Because its most of you.
Compare that to the right during covid who would take screenshots
Be more specific. Do you mean how sites were taking down covid conspiracies that were getting people killed?
Also, these sites aren’t free speech platforms. They’re advertisement platforms. They should be burnt to the ground.
Yes because the right mobilized and overwhelmed the sites with complaints. Add to this the mass cancelling that created panic in any celebrity made them all support each other. So now you had Joe Rogan bringing Zuckerberg on and really drilling home how problematic the left was and how they needed to stop it. The left went full toxic ex girlfriend. They were keying cars and lighting fires everywhere and never understood why nobody wanted to associate with them.
I never saw any cars getting keyed near me. I actually don’t have any political messaging on my truck because I’m worried about my mirrors getting smashed though. I think you’re living in a fantasy world created by your social media bubble.
The dichotomy between the left and right on these kind of issues are probably more economic than anything else.
The people I know that freaked out about these sort of things were typically maga types. Lower income, lower education, and relied on social media for all kinds of news, human contact, and such.
Meanwhile most liberals and conservatives that didn’t, lived more comfortably with higher career and education levels. This isn’t even really a left wing vs right wing kind of thing. Even the conservatives I knew that had higher education and career accomplishment freaked less out about Covid and social media “censorship” too because they could just do without.
If you can live comfortably and it doesn’t affect your living, you tend to not rock the boat
Yes, clearly the handful of people with no power that advocate for Socialism or Communism are what is wrong with our country now.
I think you are confused and are perhaps really wondering why centrists keep getting moved to the right.
Both dominate political parties in the US are fascist in nature. You have the authoritarian fascists and you have the neolib fascists.
Picking on the left is just a convenient scapegoat at this point. It is low hanging fruit and is pretty pointless.
Check out Mr. Militant over here. You’re doing your part by moaning on Lemmy. Well done you. Be the change.
100% more effort than anything else going on with Lemmy or leftist.
The left are so anti left that they’re regressing so rapidly that women can’t even get an abortion anymore. Their excuse is “money”. The actually cause is that the average leftist is dumber then the average person on the right. They’re on average less effective. The past decade is more than enough proof of this. I don’t care what you’re going to reply with because I know it’ll be some sassy comment to make you feel better. But it’s not going to change fuck all. The left is fucking cooked.
Meta is not your friend, despite how addicted to it everyone is
I think I stopped using Facebook more than a decade ago. Never had Instagram, never had tiktok. Dropping Whatsapp is my struggle.
In fact, it seems like all Info and Tech companies really hopped in line with Trump like fucking right away and I’m worried that not even that critical mass of 3-4% of the country is even able to protest, much less if that many people even want to
They were complicit in the coup
Did you all forget Insta is just Facebook for people under 65?
Same parent company. Same priorities. The same people pushing AI gen antarctic ice wall and horse dewormer content on your memaw are deciding what you see too.
Meta is actively pursuing government contracts for uses of its supercomputer it’s putting online next year and it’s AI investments. They are becoming a defense contractor essentially. To acquire contracts during this regime, I’m sure they will give any backdoor and facial recognition assistance the Pentagon asks for.
Being redundant to say this. People are actively posting pictures of themselves, their families, and their locations continuously and sending them to a government defense contractor. Posting their activities, hobbies, who they interact with, their food, et cetera.
If news companies cared about people’s privacy, they would be broadcasting that on every network warning the population in my opinion. But that would piss off the U.S. government, and they don’t want that.
You mean the app that’s run by a fascist and that promotes genocide? I’m shocked. SHOCKER!!! \s
(Seriously use Pixelfed instead, even if only partially for support.)
Funny how such glitches never happen to nazi posts.
Meta sucks
So what are you all going to do about it?
Continue to not use Facebook/Instagram.
I switched to Lemmy when Reddit came out in support of people who abuse children. I don’t even mean Trump, I just mean in general. I suggested abusers in general should face harsher penalties. They banned me for it. I said “holy shit you just did me a huge favor, apparently I was on the wrong site because our values are 100% incompatible.”
I mean, there isn’t even a debate. I’m not talking about people who find themselves attracted to kids. I’m talking about people who actually went out and hurt a real child facing longer, more meaningful sentences and they said nah, those people are people and need to be protected.
I’ve moved social networks on account of incompatible values and I think others will, too. Maybe not the majority but I think some others will. Especially as things get worse. There are networks for people who hate (like Truth Social), and networks for people who don’t care (like Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp), but I think as things change, more people will care and will look elsewhere. Not everyone but some people.
I got banned for suggested someone stab a can with a knife to open it (they didn’t have a can opener). They said I was promoting violence. I appealed and a human still banned me for that. What a crock lol
I mean, there isn’t even a debate.
Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane.
Most people will continue and have continued to use the same big name social media, and expecting different from gen x and older is foolish. And these are still massive blocks of politically important people. Never mind the swarths of people in younger generations who will and are falling for the same dumb shit.
So nothing
Move to mastodon and lemmy
Give the right the eyes and ears to everyone sounds like a great idea while we sink into the corner
They censor everything, also pro abortion posts get removed
Classic
