this is likely to keep as much people on windows as possible in an effort prevent people from being able to disable (or not have at all) things like location tracking, telemetry, etc. the us govt is probably going to crack down hard on “terrorist” threats (aka socialists, palestine supporters, and even anyone moderately critical of us imperialism), so they’re gonna need all the information they can gather about people’s online activities
Would have been a good reason to leave facebook / Meta – but I already did …
The irony is that they said this from something running on a Linux box.
The funny bit is that I’ve seen multiple references to “Meta/Facebook finally stops censorship” from right-wing-ish sources (probably because they stopped fact-checking and removed some moderation guidelines). And now, this…
Yeah, they now no longer censor things like saying that LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill or that women are “household objects” or that all immigrants are criminals (regardless of immigration status). So, yes they stopped censoring hate-speech that far right people don’t consider hate speech because they consider those things as accepted facts.
This issue is more likely about the perception that anyone with an interest in technology is a cyber criminal. Same reason that the Bush administration’s NSA flagged subscribers to the Liinux forums. Knowledge is power and they believe anyone who wants knowledge is a threat to their power. They’d prefer to go back to the dark ages and die of dysentery than accept women as equal, gay people as human, or brown people as neighbors (which is even more ironic when coming from other brown people).
Gee. Sounds a lot like CCP. Oh well.

Your comment shows you fundamentally do not understand how societal expectations and rejection affect people psychologically. If half the world was constantly trying to make your life hell, I bet your mental health wouldn’t be the best either.
It is far too common to point at depression or anxiety as the problem instead of a symptom of the actual problem.
But making that distinction would require critical thinking, a skill that, for someone calling other people “brainwashed idiots”, seems to be sorely lacking…Removed by mod
You’re a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.

Statistically speaking most LGBTQ+ ARE mentally ill. This is not hate speech and you’re a brainwashed idiot if you think it is.
It’s disingenuous to equate statements like “Most LGBT people suffer from anxiety and depression” and “Being gay is a mental illness”. It’s the second kind that is the problem, and I don’t think anyone is worrying about the first. In fact it’s probably in the interest of the LGBT community to spread this message around and get more help.
You are so far up your own ass you somehow blamed the censorship of an operating system within a social media website on the entire far right. <…> How about you blame the oligarchs and big tech CEOs for reprogramming your mind to think and dislike what they want you to think and dislike.
“They” in the second paragraph seems to refer to the people in power, I don’t see where they are blaming “the entire far right”.

Trans rights are human rights.
So are all other LGBTQ+ rights.
You will never make me believe that Picard would have felt differently, and if you think he would have, I really don’t know how you missed so many of the fundamental messages across all Trek properties.
I didn’t see your comment before the mods removed it, but the beauty of Lemmy is it’s in the modlog.
.worlders come swinging with bangers like this.
How about you blame the oligarchs and big tech CEOs for reprogramming your mind to think and dislike what they want you to think and dislike.
The oligarchs aren’t reprogramming anyone. They facilitate right wingers to spread propaganda, but the actual propaganda is produced by right wingers. Do you think the oligarchs spend their personal time carefully crafting narratives, memes, posters, news article and Facebook posts?
Might be, but correlation is not causation. I can understand being anxious when people like trump come to power and I am the first target of repression.
Don’t they use linux for their own servers LOL?
It seems appropriate to describe Facebook itself as a cybersecurity threat because of the OS platform it runs on. Perhaps they should also ban all the technologies named on this page … just to be safe.
The irony is Facebook contributes to opensource linux, heavily for btrfs which they use for certain data storage.
Security threat to the US Fascist Government maybe. Maybe coinicdence that it was near Jan 20th. Maybe I am looking to deep but looks like USA is trying to be North Korea or China . Use Windows face recognition and telemetry to to track users, censor alternative OSs from public knowledge.
Why do try to ban Linux mentions? Linux doesn’t show ads unlike Windows 10+ so their ad campaign is useless on Linux therefore malicious in their eyes.
People still use Facebook?
The worst part about Linux is the people who use Linux
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little proprietry bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the FSF, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Apple patents, and I have over 300 confirmed bug fixes. I am trained in Free Software Evangelizing and I’m the top code contributer for the entire GNU HURD. You are nothing to me but just another compile time error. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am building a GUI using GTK+ and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can decompile you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my Model M. Not only am I extensively trained in EMACS, but I have access to the entire arsenal of LISP functions and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit Freedom all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking debugged, kiddo.
I’d just like to interject for a moment…
LOL, Model M. Fucking newbies.
Typed on my Model F.
Get 'im, boys!
