Frances Haugen asks Government Pension Fund of Norway to sell out of Meta

While the title is in Norwegian, more appropriate title: "Frances Haugen asks Government Pension Fund of Norway to sell out of Meta".

For context, the Government Pension Fund of Norway (commonly known as Oljefondet/The Oil Fund), owns ~1% of Meta.

That FB are removing anti-Facebook ads are not mentioned in the article, and hardly news either way. What got removed were promotions for the event at the Nobel Peace Center where Haugen was debating.

I still cant believe how people with 6,7 digit salaries get convinced that more money is better than some amount of society responsibility. Dont they think that in 10 or 20 years down the line, many people (including them) will feel the pain of their actions.

so much for freedom of speech

> The Nobel Peace Center advertised the event precisely on social media, but the ad on Facebook was removed, without further explanation, as "political advertising". The center has been able to advertise other events on Facebook without any problems.

I guess this is the one line that prompted the header, on an article that is primarily about the ex-Facebook employee's petition for Norway to divest from Meta. Admittedly I'm more inclined to just think that once again the ML enforcement models that the company uses have thrown a false positive more than there being some shady desire to silence the event (or I guess a true positive given how vague the message is, who knows what rule it may have violated).
