#12I'm fighting Facebook by not participating. I implore the rest of you to do the same. As we leave, the folks remaining will have less reasons to stay. A trickle can turn in to a torrent. Don't worry about an alternative even, we'll find something new when we do, until then, a bit of a detox from the feed will do us good.

#13Censorship is always abused. Maybe this time or maybe not. But it's always abused. And yes, it's worse than misinformation.
I'm not sure it's worse than misinformation. In my field, bad data often has a more damaging impact than no data.
But I suppose it will depend on the circumstances, and I'd honestly be interested to hear your thoughts on why censorship is worse.
As for the inevitability of abuse? When it comes to corporate interests, that seems to be nearly axiomatic. The Verge's list of fascinating & horrifying exchange at Apple about app approvals & secret deals makes for a great case-study in this. [0]

#14This part is interesting...
"We have fewer reviewers available right now because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak..."
That smells fishy. Seems like a job that would be a really good fit for work-from-home. Wouldn't you then have more reviewers available?
Or maybe the exposure to graphic content means they do this in the office?

Haven't used Facebook in years. Only reason I ever access it is to see some business info. As for some stupid reason they don't have proper internet presence with up to date information.

It’s actually outsourced to Accenture.

#17This seems like an anticompetitive practice Even if its toward an open source federated network that has no head and can host marginalized content The implementation here seems to be an anticompetitive practice, which is sanctionable by governments in the US
One can dream. That's still free.
I'm looking forward to dreams as a service, with personalized ads sprinkled in. Only 9.99 a month!

#18Remember private platform and only governments can censor. Also first amendment. Free speech only applies to government not private companies. They can show you door if you try to use their platform to market your competing product...

It seems perfectly plausible that the reviewers they do have are busier right now, because more people are using and abusing facebook, so they have "fewer available".

There was a long article about how they have to do it in an office, and how you can't bring any electronics with you, and how you have to click a special button when you go to pee, and there's a daily limit on how much you can use it.
