   Either #Meta’s #AI does not like #ClimatChange articles or #Threads views #GlobalWarming as too controversial for the site.

   @deanbetz has reported that the Kansas City Reflectors websites were being blocked (than unblocked manually): https://kansasreflector.com/2024/04/05/facebook-apologizes-for-blocking-kansas-reflector-then-expands-crackdown-to-other-news-sites/

   Article that was originally blocked:

   👉🏾 When #Facebook fails, local media matters even more for our planet’s future https://kansasreflector.com/2024/04/04/when-facebook-fails-local-media-matters-even-more-for-our-planets-future/

   Maybe Meta’s #ArtificialIntelligence is trying to kill all of the humans‽ 🤔 Naaahh!! 😂

     @darnell @deanbetz I did some experiments with ad spending (low amounts) to push some of my articles. Facebook always rejected them as political, even though they were usually very technical, but climate-related.

     @hanno @deanbetz 😠 That is quite infuriating. I guess it explains their position regarding controversial topics, as Meta prefers nothing controversial on their site. Sigh…
