Is Facebook Against Linux? Posts Are Disappearing & Accounts Are Being Blocked.
Facebook, along with its parent company are owned by people who do not revere freedom, free speech and things that are synonymous with them. Facebook is an intelligence gathering organization.
The question that people should be asking, is why, after all the anti American violations perpetrated by the company, are people still flocking to that space. Why do people constantly seek to be in places where they're not welcome? Is it that important to gain the acceptance of people who hate them? It would take just a few unjust censorship violations, before freedom loving people, would quit outfits such as Facebook for good.
Anyway, it seems, that despite the words of CEO Zuckerberg, Facebook is still up to its old norms. There have been reports, that META limits the publications of posts about Linux on the Facebook platform. The administration of the social network began to block posts containing references to various topics related to the Linux operating system, as well as sites and groups on this topic.
The first to be blocked, was the Distrowatch portal a large information resource dedicated to the news and reviews of open source operating systems. According to the resource editorial office, the Facebook moderation system recognizes Linux as malicious software, and the groups associated with it are marked as a “threat of cybersecurity”.
Content blocking began on January 19, 2024. Users report not only the impossibility of publishing links to Distrowatch, but also about the blocking of personal accounts, after posting posts about Linux.
Representatives of Distrowatch tried to challenge the decision on blocking, but Facebook moderators confirmed that the topics related to Linux will remain in the cybersecurity filter. After filing an appeal, an employee of the Distrowatch employee was also blocked.
The situation looks especially paradoxical, given that a significant part of Facebook infrastructure works on Linux. Moreover, META regularly publishes vacancies for developers specializing in this operating system.
