Summary
Meta’s Instagram faced criticism after searches for “Democrat” or “Democrats” displayed a “results hidden” message, while “Republican” returned 3.3 million posts.
The issue emerged after Donald Trump’s inauguration, which Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg attended.
Meta attributed the problem to a technical error affecting political hashtags and promised a quick fix.
Critics, however, flagged concerns over perceived political bias, especially as Meta has recently shifted content moderation policies and aligned closer to the Republican administration, including donations to Trump and appointing a Republican as global affairs chief.
Why do people seem to think I’m saying that Meta was blocking conservatives? Are Lemmykins that bad at comprehension or are they too just egged along by the rage machine to the point where they can’t think clearly?
Because those are the literal words you used?
So comprehension then. Thanks!
IDK dog if this many people misunderstood my point I’d be trying better not doubling down on blaming them but you do you
I’m happy to accept that there are a lot of stupid people on Lemmy, particularly the politics communities.
If you err, it is not correct to blame everyone else. Lest you want to commit fallacies
I did not err.
Okay, but it seems there are a few diaagreeing with it
As they pointed out - reading comprehension issues.
Because your literal words were “the same article but about how meta was blocking conservatives.” Please tell the class how saying “meta was blocking conservatives” does NOT mean “Meta was blocking conservatives.”
I used other words around those ones too. So comprehension is the issue. Thanks!
