We applaud Meta’s efforts to try to fix its over-censorship problem but will watch closely to make sure it is a good-faith effort and rolled out fairly and not merely a political maneuver to accommodate the upcoming U.S. administration change. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/eff-statement-metas-announcement-revisions-its-content-moderation-processes
@eff OH, so you applaud being able to associate people's gender identities and sexualities with mental illness?! you applaud being able to make racist statements about chinese people and COVID19 with no consequence?! that's what you applaud?!?!?
@cairobraga @eff What makes you think EFF somehow endorses hate speech? Did you perhaps see the term "over-censorship" and instead of reading the article jump straight to imagining the worst and throwing around unfounded accusations?
FB does indeed over-censor. For example, I was replying to a post containing disinformation. My reply contained a link to the website of the same fact-checking organization FB used for their fact-checking program. It got removed, while the disinfo post stayed.
@cairobraga @eff Thank you, I did indeed miss it. It would be clearer if you started with this link.
@cairobraga @eff There's always a lot of lurkers. If I didn't engage, I'd still not know about it.
