Anyone else remember when the Bush administration considered people who read Linux Journal to be targeted for extra surveillance because they labelled Linux Journal an extremist forum for merely discussing the existence of Tor and Tails?
Further, anyone else remember when the Bush admin pushed Total Information Awareness, a program that was collecting the kind of information on US citizens that those same citizens give away freely to Facebook without needing to be surveilled?
the real malware is facebook

No fucking way, this is absurd.
Meanwhile
What a fucking dystopia you live in… Saddening…
been noticing this too in linux fb groups i am in. peoples’ posts linking distrowatch are getting banned.
I reckon, given the extent of voluntary submission to constant surveilance from corporations and the continued march deeper into oligarchy, that it’s only a matter of time until platforms that aren’t explicitly anti-privacy are going to be reframed as extremist and dangerous as a part of the global political conversation. Perhaps this will end up being the leading edge of that.
I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.
Just ban meta and x on the whole fucking site
Is there another example of this happening in Facebook aside for the openKylin post? I looked around and every article is only talking about this specific DistroWatch issue.
I just tested it out. Nothing so far
I bet they banned distrowatch.com, use https://distrowatch.org/ instead. Sadly they give up distrowat.ch
Discussing a specific linux distribution is not “discussing linux”.
Linking to a post on another website about a linux distribution isn’t either.
Should have phrased it differently: Banning a post on a specific linux distribution is not a “ban on discussing linux” in general.
Whatever daddy faceberg says, bootlicker
The linked article has a screenshot with a link to a post about openKylin getting removed. OP title is “Facebook ban on discussing Linux?” including the question mark. I don’t think it is accurate. At the same time I’m not defending Facebook in any way.
You defending corpo censorship and also title has a question mark either way.
If you didn’t mean to come off as bootlicker, then you need to work on that tone, “akshually”
