Content moderation at Meta is a joke now. I reported an account multiple times for hate speech. The account's photos were comprised entirely of racist caricatures of black people. Like absolutely vile, hateful shit.

Each time, I received a notification along the lines of: [paraphrasing] "We found that the account in question did not violate our community standards. Therefore, we did not take any action. Thanks for the report."

Yeah, OK. Gross.

I don't think I've ever gotten a response from a corporation other than "this totally obvious Nazi adjacent content seems fine to me".

Why would they restrict speech?

Your policies help to enable one genocide in Myanmar and suddenly people expect you to have standards.
