This is outrage bait and pretty low even for CNN.

They made a report showing alleged prisoner in Syria who turned to be an intelligent officer in Assad’s regime. So don’t expect any better. Source https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/16/middleeast/syria-assad-pr...

Those two things certainly aren't in conflict, jailing your own people is pretty typical.

You didn’t watch the report, did you?

It was a clear setup

Why do you say that? I checked the policy change and they have removed the literal "don't do this" example and the whole category above it.

Seeing as FB moderation was already lax on hate speech, do you think calling women 'household objects' will not be permitted in the future FB?

What happened to Zuckerberg? I thought they were the Democrat side, they had to testify in congress about it, and now Musk bought out twitter and the Republicans won the elections. Is this a move to avoid getting facebook and instagram getting killed somehow by twitter and the republican government?

FB moderation has been a complete failure compared to Twitter’s community notes system. This is Meta switching from authoritarian moderation to community-driven notes. This should be presented as a good thing, but every news outlet out there is spinning it negatively as “Facebook is removing all moderation.” No mention of what they are adding in its place.

October 7th happened...

The turning point had been last year when Zuckenberg explained to Congress that Administration forced Facebook to manipulate public opinion but he now regrets it.

He's on the "winning" side. Even Apple (Tim Cook) along with all the other major CEO's are groveling understandably since the upcoming administration could severely damage any of their businesses once in power.

I just hope we can get past the era of people, and the media, being so outraged by everything.

Salem witch trials, degenerate art, red scare blacklists.

Many eras and errors.

Cyclical. Maybe the next gen will celebrate its version of dumb phones and acid.
