    No, it means all speach is welcome. Freedom of speach is a fundamental right and anyone advocating for censorship should take a long look into the mirror before calling other people fascist.

      Free speech absolutists are so annoying. Your tolerance of the intolerant is so stupid. Yeah, protecting marginalized communities is fascism.

      Go outside and check the political landscape. Now figure out how this change of policy relates to that atmosphere.

      Now shut the fuck up about things you know not of. Protecting LGBTQ+ people is fascism? The fuck out of here with that.

      Clearly you didn’t read the article. The first paragraph is about Meta censoring LGBTQ+ content

      On Monday, Taylor Lorenz posted a telling story about how Meta has been suppressing access to LGBTQ content across its platforms, labeling it as “sensitive content” or “sexually explicit.”

      Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags including #lesbian, #bisexual, #gay, #trans, #queer, #nonbinary, #pansexial, #transwomen, #Tgirl, #Tboy, #Tgirlsarebeautiful, #bisexualpride, #lesbianpride, and dozens of others were hidden for any users who had their sensitive content filter turned on. Teenagers have the sensitive content filter turned on by default.

      When teen users attempted to search LGBTQ terms they were shown a blank page and a prompt from Meta to review the platform’s “sensitive content” restrictions, which discuss why the app hides “sexually explicit” content.

      People who comment on articles without reading the article itself should take a long look into the mirror before implying other people are advocating censorship.

        Censorship is a constant. Power dynamics is a thing and will always be. Thinking that any of those big players truly care about any ideology is a mistake and the only true way of seeking “freedom of speech” is really to find your “tribe” that can support itself.

        That’s why we came to Lemmy. We don’t want to be censored by big boss, we’d rather be censored by the owners of the Lemmy instances because at least they are closer to us.

        What’s going to happen is that you will now start listening more to people that were censored while your guy was in power, while they got censored for their opinions, as bad or as good as they are, you had your chance to speak, now as long as you are using mainstream media you will sit and listen like the good user you are.

        The choice is yours Neo, either wake up and understand power dynamics or sit and listen like a good cumsoomer.

        The choice is yours.

      Freedom of speech isn’t a fundamental right. If you doubt this try publicly and clearly threatening people with the intent to harm. You will be prosecuted for that action.

      You should avoid using words you almost cettainly do not understand which in this case is “fascist”.
