The Censorship has begun
What was that story warning people that if they use RedNote they’ll experience ‘Chinese style censorship’ for the first time?
US using the old if you can’t beat em approach
Yeah the US is making China look tame… Fucked up world we live in… Definitely the wrong timeline…

This is not mildly infuriating. Its incredibly worrying.
someone should make c/incrediblyworrying
Every day is a day closer to the electorate realizing certain luxuries have been removed from their cages. Here’s hoping it’s sooner rather than later. And don’t be pathetic and turn to the democrats to help you. They were bought and paid for and will be lucky not to be disappeared.
Luigi, that you?
Ugh, excuse me, I’m a “dirty lib” and you can check my credentials on that one.
In reality, though, I’ve been saying since Novemeber we are on a fixed rail now and if there was once a way off it just passed us by. The sooner everyone comes to realize it the better but I can’t make everyone do it. So just spreading the word and hopefully they know I’m not trying to scare them but prepare them for the not so distant future.
And if I go with the first round of cullings I’m happy too because the horrors about to be witnessed will break any good person and my heart is weak.
That wasn’t a denial lol
I politely disagree about our fixed path, but to correct it will be so much harder now, no doubt. Just gotta keep at it.
Derailment, maybe, I just don’t see how we can use the system to break the system at this point. It would be worth a try but anytime I say the word “strike” I get bombarded with the most derisive vitriol. So, I’m just putting 2 and 2 together.
Don’t get me wrong, it seems bleak for sure, but they are banking on ppl giving up or losing energy. The uphill battle sucks, but we need to regroup, re-evaluate, and definitely push forward. If too many ppl give up, we sign our own demise :(
Just tried it. It works fine. Granted, most results are from fascist accounts, but it does work
I wonder if that may be the cause of the block in the original post — i.e. if the fascist accounts were posting lots of “sensitive” content (such as stuff that would, in a different era, been far more likely to be removed if reported), then it might appear like the censorship that OP saw. I vaguely recall an instance of something similar happening, and if so, the “censorship” would be an automated error, and it being visible now would be after the manual intervention.
Occam’s razor disproves this to me.
It’s more likely that meta was testing censorship, but people caught on.
Than #johnOliver #bernieSanders #Democrat #proChoice etc. All being banned, but none of the conserve hashtags
Just testing the new Great American Firewall!
WTF
It’s not real. I can search the hashtag “democrat” and get results just like any other hashtag.
You don’t need to repeatedly post the same screenshot for people, damn. Chill
What’s a two party state that’s one party down?
Sounds a bit like a…dictatorship
Simple democracy.
So Zuck has declared the Democratic Party an unlawful extremist organisation before the government could do so?
Meta says its working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a “results hidden” message when users search for the terms “Democrat” or “Democrats”.
If that’s hard to fix, I recommend shutting down the servers forever.
It’s hard emotionally
Makes me wonder if it was something like a lot of people were scrolling those hashtags and leaving hate comments and it triggered some automated hide feature and now they’re trying to find some middle ground. That’s being very generous to Meta though.
I hope you’re right but something tells me this was intentional
I’m sure it happened just after Trump took office with explicit technocratic goals ENTIRELY on accident.
*technofascist
All I can think about is how Israel’s AI targeting program (lavender) is coming to a leftist near you. Combine with ukraines AI drones and we have a technofascist future where dissent gets removed permanently. Instead of banning your account they’ll be banning your life.
They’ve always been the same thing. If you took the concept of a technocracy at its most idealized form it’s still innately undemocratic.
It might, possibly, work, but it’s still authoritarian in nature.
But technofascist does strip their veneer of being actual engineers away I suppose, so it definitely has benefits.
Time in USA: 1935, Germany
Maybe we are witnessing a modern day version of the Business Plot.
Don’t share this. The stylization is too cool to allow the assholes to see it and use it.
Nah, I’d rather push them into embracing actual, full on nazi symbology. Believe it or not, the majority of the American public do not see republicans as nazis. The sooner they look like it, the sooner the last plausible deniability falls, and the sooner the “cheaper eggs,” “voted for the economy” idiots have to face the realities of their decisions.
Confirming this was the last straw and the moment I uninstalled all meta apps
Zuckerburg is furious that dems dragged him before congress and tried to blame Trump winning on Facebook.
