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.

    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.
