   Now that Meta is actively rolling out its content policy changes, we are deeply concerned that they will harm vulnerable people. If the company truly values free speech—and its users—it’s moving in the wrong direction. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/metas-new-content-policy-will-harm-vulnerable-users-if-it-really-valued-free

     Meta has a clear and disturbing track record of silencing and further marginalizing those who are already oppressed, and then being less than forthright about their content moderation policy. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/metas-new-content-policy-will-harm-vulnerable-users-if-it-really-valued-free

     While human rights and digital rights groups, as well as its users, have won important victories from Meta, these changes indicate the company will backslide rather than make improvements. We urge the company to redirect its focus to empowering historically marginalized speakers, rather than empowering only their detractors.

     @eff The simple announcement that they were moving the moderation team to Texas should have been a big enough red flag…

     "It was our mistake to formulate our responses and expectations on what is essentially a marketing video for upcoming policy changes before any of those changes were reflected in their documentation."

     Good on you to be clear this was your mistake. Ya shoulda known though.
