all animals are equal, but some animals are MORE equal than others...:

So telling that Twitter's new prohibition on advocating violence exempts those who want govts or militaries to kill. Thus, "I want US Govt to nuke N Korea" or "Israel should obliterate Gaza": permitted. But: "it's justified for Muslims to use violence in self-defense": banned.

In case anyone wants to know how Face book suppression works - I have 330,000 followers there but they've stopped showing my posts to many ppl. I used to gain 6,000 followers a week. I now gain 500 and FB unsubscribes ppl w/out their knowledge - so my total numbr never increases
 

It will be fine

facebook isnt free, they data mine like crazy.

and its dishonest. google is now doing the same thing. theyre all in bed with big government.
We've known that for years. You said someone's gotta do something. Do what? And who's gonna do it? If you don't like Facebook don't visit the site, no one is forcing you to use it.

You still seem able to easily obtain all the crazy communist programming you're looking for, so I don't see much of a problem. I got bored with the info my Facebook feed was presenting me so I stopped using the site. Life continued.

Just because an algorithm decides these people aren't worthy of a top hit on a search or news feed doesn't mean they're being censored.

Search results have always been a game in the internet business.

What's dishonest about this ... it's described in their Terms of Service.
Not only that ... everyone knows about it from all news coverage about it.

As far as I am concerned, I use FB and Google for a lot of good reasons for me.
I think I am getting a great deal.

the algorithims as you know were for taking out "fake news" but instead of dropped the search results of many left wing websites.

julian assange has said either we control the AI, or the AI is going to control us.

this vid starts off with julian assange and then goes to someone who works at WSWS and chris hedges.

Funny, it's usually conservatives who complain about their stuff being censored. I wasn't getting updates from any of the groups I was part of for a while, political or not. I just wanted tips on increasing yields from my garden, but Marky Z and Big Brother were working together to supress that information. :laughing:
I think it takes into account when people select "see less of this", or however they're doing it this week, so if you want to continue to gain more followers, you need to appeal to a wider audience. But some people don't want to change their message, and will get the followers they get.
