“After reaching out to Meta about why the promo campaign had been stomped out, the company replied that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.”
Wow.
God forbid you talk about social topics on SOCIAL media…
Sounds like you need some reeducation.
advertisements shouldn’t look like actual content, not like that stopped them before but ads really shouldn’t look like real content
not that i’m a meta fan, I fucking hate that company, but this swings both ways. Imagine your local coffee shop is boosting posts about traditional marriage and pro-life themes. They get blocked as well.
I just don’t go to that coffee shop. Problem solved. They can say whatever they want. If I don’t support it I don’t go. I don’t see how the coffee shop argument hold up. And if enough people hold the same views they close.
Meta however is too big to fail. Which gives them a free pass to pass their cancerous views onto society while knowing no matter how much the general public hates them and their shitty views they will continue to use the platform because their friends and family still use it. Enshittification. If my coffee shop enshittifies I tell them to pound sand.
good for you.
There are other options. Friendica? People have no boundaries. Society deserves what they get at this point.
There’s no way to get around “any mention of civil rights” though. That covers all humans.
They do pay “content creators” who have views on the opposite side of the political aisle and when caught paying far-right activists, they said:
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added.
While PAYING to advertise a book with feminism as a theme is not OK. They’re clearly pushing an agenda.
wouldn’t doubt it
Maybe. This was an advertisement for a book that had those themes.
Personally, I don’t want either to be excluded.
We going to ban Churches from showing the cross next?
ya bro, we’re going to ban churches from showing crosses next. you got it.
I see incredibly violent and bigoted content all the time on Meta platforms and always report it. Rarely does anything get taken down. But feminism bad I suppose.
That was last week
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added.
Yet “social topics” they don’t agree with are banned lol
Also
they were able to earn money on their posts through the platform’s “Content Monetization” program — which is invitation-only.
I’m actually glad it’s invitation-only because there are some subjects on which I could write great informative content that would likely have great engagement from the people interested in those niches, but this way I’m not even tempted to log in and start posting lol
Nazi? Fine. Hate? No problem. Scams? That’s free speech.
Women? Oh it’s time to do something!
Racism? Yeah, that’s cool.
Wishing racists were dead? That’s a banning.
feminism is a contradiction to toxic manosphere thats why, and meta needs a conservative voting base to stay alive.
Yet half of the ads on Mega platforms are literal scams
I wonder if they would allow TERF ads. Or is that still too feminist for them?
thankfully TERFs are never about the F part, they’re mostly just TERs.
Trans-Exclusionary Radicals
They only react with cis isomeric alkenes?
lol.
I’m down with trying all kinds of chemicals and see what reacts and what doesn’t.
I’m sure they would, until the terfs are no longer useful to them
Fuck zuck. Of course a pathetic man like him would fight feminism as soon as he felt comfortable doing so
The fact that these morons are destroying the world with impunity, openly, and no one is even attempting to regulate it is the wildest part of this timeline. They’ve brainwashed how many countries now? And people are just watching and waiting to be picked off.
People realise they can just stop viewing social feeds and the quality of life either doesn’t change or sometimes improves?
I know I did
No they don’t unfortunately. Social media and any other institution only has as much power as we give it. For some reasons people just can’t quit social media even while they actively protest it.
Once again, Zuck the suck.
When I read the first 4 words I had a hope…

The CIA via its VC fund InQTel is the architect of today’s information landscape. All of this is very much on purpose.
what did you read to learn this? i wanna read it too
It’s the same company behind the Pokémon Go app that was actually a cover by the CIA to map entire places around the world.
Honestly lots of different things. A good start would be https://gizmodo.com/larry-ellisons-oracle-started-as-a-cia-project-1636592238
This is about how Oracle was initially a CIA project headed by Ellison.
It is a good thing.
Haha I think so too but Lemmy won’t agree. :)
Regulating Meta which is truly accountable nowhere is like trying to find a good place to store radioactive waste for tens of thousands of years. Everyone outside the US should just ban them.
Get out of here with your pro-oil propaganda.
Are you drunk? Solar and wind is better now and eventually fusion will be.
Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.
While allowing scam and porn ads on there that harm millions of people
It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?
They’re directly incentivized to allow scams, since over 10% of their total revenue comes from scams
Honestly, I think the dark web is a safer concept than X or Meta. The legitimacy of society’s most powerful people is far more insidious than backstreet markets and courtesans: they don’t make laws or support evil institutions across entire nations, nor able to leverage them as a club.
The ordinary pickpocket just wants money. A wealthy elite considers other humans to be decorative, to be used and disposed of.
It’s a catastrophe in double standards.
No one should be the World Wide Web’s self appointed censor!
If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content,
You misunderstand… Feminist literature is the prohibited content. I’m not making a joke here. That’s literally their policy!
