"It’s a retreat from limiting harm to users….
It was never about facts nor should it have been. It was always about limiting harm to Facebook users and advertisers. No reputable company wants its product or service placed next to a gruesome image of sexual exploitation, violence or bigotry."

"As I reported on Monday, for months Meta has been blocking dozens of LGBTQ related hashtags from search and down-ranking LGBTQ content. Meta’s new “free speech” policies do nothing to ensure ''errors' like this don’t continue to occur.

Im so sorry (but not surprised) to read this.
Our LGBTQI friends need increased not diminishing support in these dark days.
It is all, indeed, putrid.
@Godfrey642 I agree — putrid, and LGBTQI people need strong support right now and will have even greater need of support once Trump takes over.
