Facebook removes congresswoman's pro-Trans post as "hate speech" while favoring anti-trans congresswoman's response

Then why include their “Like” links at the bottom of posts on Boing Boing? When someone not on Facebook clicks on them they get encouraged to sign up.

It’s worse than that. I don’t see the Facebook SHARE link, just " / TWEET / 1 COMMENTS", which means that my blocks at the router and in hosts are preventing a fetch of something from a Facebook domain that could have been used for tracking.

Facebook just seems more and more evil every day. I love the platform for staying in touch with distant friends. But their policies seem so biased against fair treatment of the disadvantaged, and so pro discrimination and pro oppression. How do people that work there sleep well at night? Is it that their beds are made of million dollar stock grant padding?

If only people used it for staying in touch with distant friends and relatives…evidently the algorithms decided that that’s not never profitable.

“Facebook must be destroyed.”

Then why include their “Like” links at the bottom of posts on Boing Boing?

But (rhetorical question) surely

@tekk

As I understand it from an old thread on the topic, those links are essential

The share links are, officially, gone.

That’s not why. Rob had hidden the share link from the post.

Sadly, removing the links doesn’t affect tracking in any way, that happens at the ad level.
