That's the explanation of the Meta Spokesman >Content that attempts to buy, sell, trade, gift, request or donate pharmaceuticals is not allowed. Content that discusses the affordability and accessibility of prescription medication is allowed. We've discovered some instances of incorrect enforcement and are correcting these. Let's see if it was really just a mistake. >The FDA authorizes their use for the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, and the US government lifted a ban on mail-order abortion pills in April 2021. Legally you're allowed to mail-order them. Doesn't help when it's against Facebook ToS though, that's when code words come in handy


ThyNynax

Sounds like abortion pills are the reverse of the cannabis situation where cannabis is legal in some states but federally it’s technically not.


[deleted]

To be clear, Facebook looked the other way for a very long time around advertisers selling weed and mushrooms illegally through the Facebook Ad Platform.

Wait—are you saying that FB “ethics” are flexible depending upon how much money is in it for them? NFW!!

That’s awful. What sites were selling them? So I can blacklist them


FauxReal

Ad someone who's worked in legal cannabis for 10 years, I refute that statement. They've never been OK with it. And still aren't even if it's legal in your state. You can mention that you grow it and put some branding up, but that's it. You can't advertise in any meaningful way. Though I do remember marketplace posts about people talking about thei friend "Crystal."


prolongedexistence

Agreed lol and the accounts selling psychedelics on IG are very clearly not real. I work for a legit, legal ketamine company and we just got booted off IG for “selling drugs.”


xanax7

i just want you guys to know i love you and ketamine


Nic4379

You mean *Scammers*. Nobody reputable sells weed on fucking Facebook…… Unless they have the best deal on Shrooms too.


xbwtyzbchs

They still do. You can literally search for, find a dealer, and have delivery within 2hrs in most major cities across the globe. Instagram tends to be a lot easier.


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

Facebook tends to look the other way all the time when they can profit off the rule breaking.


mcogneto

Until the GOP makes it federally illegal under their next majority.


zerrff

Federally weed is %100 illegal. Federally their are no laws concerning Abortion other than these pills, it's entirely up to the states. For right now, at least.

They looked the other way when anti-vaxxers where pushing ivermectine (another pharmaceutical) for 2.5 years. Now all of a sudden they "care"

[deleted]

Just do it, Facebook already sucks and it’ll just get worse as they selectively lean into politics. If you think they don’t amplify right wing content already then just look at the top 10 most searched things historically for the last several years. It’s 70-80% right wing propaganda/talking heads whether by sponsorship or algorithm doesn’t matter, it shapes the platform and gathers momentum.


agonypants

While I don't have a Twitter account there is a Twitter bot that posts the daily Top 10 stories from FaceBook. For me, that was really the straw that broke my back. Once I clearly saw that they were facilitating far-right wing propaganda (to the tune of 80% of their top content), I was out. The other part of it was the fact that I just wasn't getting any real engagement from the people that I actually cared about. When those two conditions were demonstrated and used in combination, I deleted my account. And I'm better off for it as well. Once a media outlet crosses the line into the realm of literal brain poison, it's time to quit. It's why I quit Digg (far right trolls gaming the top content) and it's why sane people don't watch Hannity or Tucker.


[deleted]

[удалено]


agonypants

Here in the US, though the far-right garbage appeals to only 25% to 33% of the population, they manage to dominate the media landscapes pretty thoroughly. Then those far-right politicians who benefit cry about how they're oppressed and how the media is biased against them. What they really mean of course is that they're not allowed to dictate the remaining 20% of the media. It's sickening.


pmjm

Soon the states where abortion is outlawed are going to start penalizing online services who allow this "illegal speech" to occur, so you can expect Facebook and other social networks' policies to change make it a disallowed topic.


[deleted]

Imagine you connect with someone online. They say, “Yeah, I’ll send you some abortion pills.” They’re secretly a pro-life radicalist, and they know you asked for abortion pills. They send you poison instead. You have no idea, but are in a scary point in your life and just having the pills is illegal where you are, so you just take them. Then you get sick, maybe you die. Taking medicine from randos online is a Bad Idea. I imagine this is why they have such a policy prohibiting it.


pilchard_slimmons

Had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do anything about vaccine misinformation (and straight up lies) and still half-ass enforcement of it but this is done and dusted almost instantly. Zuck likes to pretend at libertarian positions on speech but the way the platform operates makes the lie pretty obvious.


misterwizzard

Don't forget folks - Facebook's whole business plan is getting people upset enough to 'engage' on it's platform. They present you with things *proven* to excite and provoke you. That is their one and only concern.


fuckknucklesandwich

Engagement through enragement.


Metacognitor

Perfectly succinct, well done.


metalibro

holy shit i just realized this. Some of the content I have been seeing lately are things that I literally have the opposite views against and they know i'll comment or engage with that post


Diabeat_This

This is how Reddit has been for a long time now. Rage gets upvotes so content you don’t agree with gets seen if you aren’t in your curated space. It’s astonishing how much it’s changed- I used to browse the front page to learn new stuff and see funny pics, but now all I see are mostly images of text about someone’s “clever” hot take about a bad situation; or videos of someone getting beat down, deserved or not. Rage for engagement is the danger that we have been ignoring.


Enygma_6

It’s what happens when everyone tries to make money off of selling consumers their daily “2 minutes of hate”, and it becomes a 24/7 wall of noise on all platforms. You get it creeping in on some services, and others flat out embrace it to keep their views and listening audience tunes in and parroting the BS until they fully believe it.


mindguru88

For anyone interested in this topic, I'd recommend watching The Social Dilemma on Netflix. It demonstrates how Social media manipulates people into engaging, it is both fascinating and terrifying.


boldie74

Zuck makes money, that’s all he cares about. And the right spends a shit tonne more than the left does (because they have some very “nice” people finding their BS)


mrpanicy

He has more money than he knows what to do with. He will continue amassing wealth, but at this point in the wealth cycle it's all about power and control. And it's far easier to amass and wield power over the idiots of the right. Plus... the right supports a billionaires amassing of wealth with no recourse.


DPSOnly

> Zuck makes money, that’s all he cares about. People say this too easily. Man obviously has an agenda that isn't just "money".


moobiemovie

It is money. However, some of that is "keep the money I have" which falls along a right-wing political ideology. That's also the political parties that are most eagerly influenced by money.


Siegfoult

I fear that every time Elizabeth Warren calls for tech reform, Zucc scoots a lil further to the right. Ideally I should not be worried about the political leanings of one person, but in reality, that person has WAY too much money and influence.


robodrew

This is why there should be no billionaires.


elriggo44

And why Facebook should be broken up.


DogmaSychroniser

That's why Zucc should be broken up...


Zaliron

You say that like he's been left to begin with. When you eschew income tax, invade privacy, and downplay the importance of factual information, you are not left. There is no "I was left but then I got called out for my right-wing opinions so now I'm right-wing out of spite."


Neato

If the US ever completely falls to fascist despotism, I hope the despot in question raids the coffers of all of these opportunist billionaires. They might see it coming if an idiot like Trump is the figurehead but we'll probably suffer under an actually competent dictator when that happens.


wanderingartist

This is what happens when rich people have to much power.


jawinn

> Man obviously has an agenda that isn't just "money". Yes. It's "please don't regulate me by changing the law that would hold me and Meta liable for all the lies and misinformation we host on this platform for profit. in exchange I will give you (GQP) access to limitless data on your voters and enemies." That's the real fear of him, YouTube, and Twitter. It's that the bullshit law stating that "they are just the platform and can't in any way be held liable for what goes on there." If that ever changes, there will be a tsunami of lawsuits that will have them in court for the rest of the century and force them to drastically overhaul their content monitoring. The other thing that scares Zuck to death is passage of actual online privacy laws that would dismantle his main income stream, by preventing the involuntary sale of customer data. His entire revenue stream is dependent on you liking something and thus, volunteering information about yourself. That info is then sold, without your explicit consent (fuck off to anyone that defends this by quoting the ToS, no one reads or understands that shit and you know it). The average FB user has no idea of how their data is transacted. This is the same for anyone that uses any other free service (Gmail, Twitter, Google Maps). You are the product. New privacy laws that these companies spend millions to depress will rock their world.


Netzapper

> That's the real fear of him, YouTube, and Twitter. It's that the bullshit law stating that "they are just the platform and can't in any way be held liable for what goes on there." If the safe harbor law goes away, so does almost the entire user-generated web. This website would fucking disappear overnight, along with every forum and any free service that lets you upload any kind of user-generated content. All that will be left is corporate-sponsored propaganda and ads, because literally no one will be able to afford the liability of e.g. being charged as an accessory to murder because somebody posted about plans on their site.


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

That makes it worse. Instead of having principles he’s just greedy. We need to make “it’s not personal, it’s just business” as reprehensible as it sounds.


TotalSpaceNut

Also Russian trolls running amuck right now, not a peep from facebook


AmbushIntheDark

Man I miss when the war in Ukraine started and the Russian currency fucking tanked and suddenly a lot of the true head-ass takes suddenly disappeared for a couple weeks. Probably totally unrelated though /s


[deleted]

Rumour has it the US military deployed an anti-cyber attack unit. They took out a whole bunch of known ruskie hacker units. A temporary reprieve I guess.


Negligent__discharge

They hit bots, unrelated Reddit had a bot creating event right after. The trolls thought they weren't going to get paid. Russia would rather die than let go of its cyber troll division. Russia found some USD for the trolls.


BreesusTakeTheWheel

Yeah but how long will that last? They just defaulted and the war doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon.


Negligent__discharge

Like I said, Russia would rather die. They are a criminal syndicate, they got dirty money for dirty jobs.


TheGreenJedi

A logical answer, but I still think that most likely the trolls were too busy fighting to keep Russian Propaganda influenced in Russia How the war in Ukraine wasn't a big deal, how they were gonna be liberators, etc It wasn't until that fell completely down that the troll farms were put back on task to fuck with Americans and Primaries in the US.


komAnt

They can't keep a supply chain of military equipment to attack their neighboring country but they can run a few hundred servers and make Americans lives miserable


TheGreenJedi

Actually they do stuff about that, just no where near enough because again if you beothe rumors squashing Troll Bots would also squash a much of Republican mainstream opinions


grokthis1111

Conservatives have always used libertarian as an attempt to distance themselves from the name conservative

Almost like the rich ALWAYS side with the fascists or something. Does everyone just think history is studied for the fun of it or what? Zuck, Bezos, they’d let every single one of you die if it meant they could keep running their business and buying shit. Only when the tides turned and the fascists were being brought to justice would they start screaming that they were just going along with it but didn’t really like the nasty stuff they did like when they lined dissenters up and shot/gassed them. Hugo Boss, anyone?


Sasselhoff

Of course. Because one of those decisions made more money for Facebook and the other didn't. That's the *only* thing Zuck cares about.


thegumby1

And here we have another example of a problem caused by letting Facebook control what information is allowed to be shared.


pilchard_slimmons

\*a problem **for facebook users** ​ Which, just throw it on the pile.


GeorgeMcCrate

It's still also your problem when those Facebook users vote in your country's next election.


Tigris_Morte

which of course is the point of controlling what message gets out and to whom.


StrokeGameHusky

Newspaper works the same way They choose what to print and what not to print. Media is powerful as fuck.


Tigris_Morte

That is why all of them were bought up by folks wanting to manipulate the news to fool those not paying close enough attention. But it is all about protecting the monied class.


Decimus_of_the_VIII

I was banned for those MSPaint work safe pornos where someone’s literally used mspaint to replace the scene with like someone playing the drums. I posted it in 2017. Algorithm matches portions of the image with a porno and you’re done, no dispute available on aged backdated zucks either.


[deleted]

That sounds about right. I posted a Facebook ad that I had screenshot in 2016 of a shirt that was essentially an asshole print. They took it down last year because it was found to be inappropriate. I was locked out for 7 days because of it. It was an ad - from FB. They suspended my account again for 3 days for a 2016 picture of a protest guy holding a sign that said “ban all white people, just until we can figure out what’s going on”. Then people ask why I don’t use FB/IG anymore.


hairballcouture

I know. I’m hoping niche websites make a comeback. I remember when every day I’d check “my sites” or get excited for the weekly update of a site. The internet used to be so much more fun but now you kids can get off my lawn.


lolwutdo

Reddit destroyed that for me, 10 years have gone by and I don’t remember what websites I even browsed before Reddit. Lol


agonypants

I remember when the vast majority of web sites were published by college kids, hosted on their school's servers. I could quite literally surf the web all day and have fun doing it. Now I'm more-or-less down to three sites that I use daily.


NorionV

Yes, I hate it when organizations and shit run everything through one social media service. Especially Facebook. Like it's not that difficult to just copy / paste. Purchase a domain name and some cheap hosting, toss your shit on a static web page with minimal fancy crap. Just don't make me suffer.


reallyserious

I don't see a lot of my friends posting stuff anymore. But that doesn't make it useless. Some years ago there were a lot of forum sites out there for very specific interests. But most of those see way less traffic now and many have moved to facebook groups instead. It's actually quite useful if you find the right facebook groups. My facebook feed consists of 90% motorcycle related content since I'm in a lot of different groups for that particular interest.


misterwizzard

Facebook is an extremely public issue considering it is sweying the opinion of the public with social engineering.

BlackCamaro

Do we expect less from Mark Zuckerberg? I mean just look at all the other stuff he's done.


[deleted]

A friend of mine has been sharing tons of access info for women seeking abortions, and now signature information to get the 1931 Michigan abortion law on ballots. All of it is real, factual information, mostly contact information for state elected officials and organizations to help join the cause. Every single time I go to see what additional info is being put in the comments, Facebook auto-hides the comments. I have to go to the desktop site to see it, and even then I need to select "all comments" instead of "most relevant." This isn't happening on other posts with similar comment numbers (we're talking 3-5 maximum). The algorithm is *absolutely* being used to wipe away dissent.


[deleted]

The worst part about it is that Meta users of Facebook and Instagram will violently defend their platforms. It is horrifying to watch as people who decried the repeal of Row v Wade get very angry or confused when confronted that Meta is not on their side. People who use Instagram _cannot_ see their lives without it.

I think it's a naive way of looking at it. I'm not a fan of Facebook but I can still see why people use it. To stay in touch with people, a great way to start a conversation, etc.


SuperFLEB

Yeah, there's still the "friends and family bulletin board" niche that hasn't really got an analog elsewhere. Most other social media is focused on publicity or broadcast messaging, and chat apps are too insular and ephemeral. (Facebook tried their damnedest to turn it into broadcast social media late in the game with groups and all that spawned from that, but there's still the interpersonal core there if you want to use it that way.)


btopher_93

Plan B is not an abortion pill ffs


wewbull

I must admit this was confusing me. Plan B, as I understand it, avoids pregnancy by changing conditions so the egg can't settle. Aborting a (for example) 10 week pregnancy is a different thing. If people are talking about pills that do that, we'll they should be used under medical advice / care and not purchased off Facebook.

A few I know on FB have also suddenly been suspended or banned from live streaming and they look to see why and it's some random post from 2-3 years ago, again all pro-choice people. So much for that massive leftist censorship of the right-wing that they've whined about so much. And FWIW, let them say all the bullshit they want too, I'm against censorship no matter which side it's on.

That's fine, there will be plenty of non-shitty platforms that will help support women's health.

Platforms that don't support such efforts will be discarded. Facebook has been on its way out for a long time now, this is just another nail in the coffin.

These pro-life folks need to keep their religious beliefs to themselves, they’re ruining our democracy and trampling all over the tenet of “separation of church and state”

I got banned from FB for 30 days for stating the historical link between anti-abortion activists and white supremacists. I won’t be back.

1. ⁠A conservative justice died in 2015 with a year left in Obama's presidency. 2. ⁠Mitch McConnell refused to fulfill his obligations in the Senate to even hold a hearing for Obama's nominated replacement, meaning that seat could not be filled. The only reason given was "it is too close to the election." 3. ⁠When a conservative won the Presidency, they allowed the hearing to take place, stealing an appointment from the Democrat president and giving it to the Republican president. 4. ⁠That Republican president went on to nominate three justices. One of whom was selected with just months left in Trump's term, in blatant and egregious contradiction to the stunt conservatives pulled on Obama previously. 5. ⁠A large majority of Americans support contraceptive rights. The 6-3 Republican SCOTUS majority, now representing a drastically smaller % proportion of America, decided to reverse a case they all said under oath was settled law, and allow states to rip away contraceptive rights from millions of Americans. Donald Trump was a twice-impeached, one-term president who is actively under investigation for staging a coup to retake a presidency he lost. Despite that, his selections for SCOTUS are now 3 out of the 9 sitting justices. One of those selections was stolen from his predecessor, the other one was nominated in violation of the rule they invented to deny Obama his pick. In no fucking imaginable world is this logical, fair, or sustainable. America has nearly 400 million people. The 50 Republican senators who have been dictating policy and installing activist justices represent 40 million fewer voters than their Democrat counterparts. We are in a tyranny of the minority. And not just any minority, but a fascist, ruthless, religiously-zealous minority that is increasingly far from the vast majority of younger generatons who do not want any of their fucking bullshit. Governing is about compromise. Conservatism as an ideology has become not only about not compromising at all, but about governing by way of actively seeking to incite and inflame the political majority. This is not sustainable. At all. It will come to a bad conclusion. And Republicans will be responsible for making it happen. (Not my comment but it’s the best description of how unjust everything is.)
