They reported three posts! The scale of damage that must’ve been done to the vital ebb and flow of our corporate social media discourse is practically inconceivable, you might think.
But I’ve done even worse: I have reported more than five posts from spammers to fediverse admins who subsequently removed them. Tremble before the might of my awesome power of censorship, fedizens!
Wrong. They censored by what they are reporting/to be, at least 3 posts. For all we know it could be 10, 100 or 1,000, 10,000+. Also, worth noting that Facebook does not normally censor, they down-throttle posts. So they will be seen by a lot less people as a way to get around from later whitewashing themselves from the icky word of “censoring.” Despite the end result being the same.
“Health Canada finally had to provide the documents – two whole pages /s – no less than 11 months into being asked to release them. The documents concern the country’s government – specifically the Health Ministry – asking Facebook to remove “at least three” posts published by users.”
It is a good way to lie without lying, or lying by omission. Corps. Tech and otherwise does this type of thing all the time.
I so dislike Facebook.
Also, fun fact, FB’s “Fact Checks,” are just opinion. Sourcing the NY because it is not like CNN is going to report this.

Case Citation: Stossel v. Meta Platforms, Inc., 2022 WL 6791430 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 11, 2022)
Relevant parts of Judge Ruling for this are on page 12-14 from case were FB admits this. The whole case was ridiculous except for FB admitting this.

I feel sorry for the agent or LLM made to monitor me. It’s gotta be so fucking boring 99.975% of the time.
Every so often, you should search for furry inflation porn, just to make their job more interesting
