Canada's public health agencies asked Facebook for faster ways to flag speech for removal.

It’s FACEBOOK. I have seen headline after headline of shit like this for over TEN YEARS NOW.

 

HOW IS ANYONE STILL SURPRISED BY THIS?

 


EDIT: So, apparently, the “censorship” was to get rid of right-wing misinformation. Different story, I suppose. Fuck right-wingers. No, I did not read the article. Yes, I feel foolish for not having done so. I have thus given myself a perfunctory slap on the wrist as punishment. I shall soak in the guilt henceforth.

Don’t feel bad. The first time I encountered this site, I thought it was legit too. It wasn’t until I had read several articles that I realized it’s a right-wing propaganda site.

Thanks, that actually makes me feel a bit better.

I appreciate you. :)
