Can you also post: 'Kill all the CEOs" or "We need more Luigis" or will that not fall under free speech Mr Suckitberg?
- Those get you deboosted, or even banned.
It's always the same "free speech" they're being censored for
How about "billionaires are edible" or "Tech bros are welfare queens" or "Watch out for a-luigi"?

  nevermind
Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms. Consumers also have the right to choose which services they want to use.
I encourage everyone to stop using anything involved with Meta. I personally have a list of Meta domains blocked on my home network.
If enough people did this, the problem would resolve itself.
- This is why its important for us to retain the right to what Cory Doctorow calls "self-help".
  Our right to access and modify things are being stripped away and that gives the platforms even more power!
  Today, if you released a tool to bring your Facebook friend list to another platform you'd get sued into oblivion.
What's crazy to me is just how inconsistent it is. You can call a group of people trash and that's okay, but calling them vermin isn't?
- Wonder how far you can take insulting CEOs
  
  Credible threat probably.
Leaked? They're on their official "hateful conduct" guidelines
Look on the bright side: they're saying these things under their legal names. You'll know who they are and where they live.

  Facebook has plenty of promotional accounts, stale accounts hijacked by scammers, and straight up fake accounts. Hell, Meta's been premiering entirely AI generated profiles.
  You could be getting N-bombed by a fully automated synthetic personality before too long.
