TRUMP PIC BEING BANNED BY GOOGLE & META!!!

This one image has done more to shift people to support Trump than anything else every has.. that is why they are banning it.. Facebook and Instagram now join Google in banning this image.

Follow @renegademedia

---------------------------------------------

We all should consider cancelling our FB, Instagram, Whatsapp and Google accounts as well as anything else they own! This is blatant censorship for no good reason!

Rosy: My husband was told to remove these videos in order for his account to go back to normal. This list includes videos of the IDF stealing rugs, riding stolen bicycles, and dancing in celebration of the destruction in Gaza. Meta says they go against their "guidelines on weapons" but I'm sure Israel is pressuring Meta to remove posts that make the IDF look like the a-holes they are.

Caption: Straight up CENSORSHIP!

akbarpirani content can't be shown to non followers anymore. Meta told him if he takes down these videos, they will restore his account reach.

Why dies Meta want these particular videos down? There's no use of weapons in them.

This is so disgusting. @Meta keeps shutting down fundraisers meant to keep people alive - actively starving people. Follow all the Ibrahim For Gaza accounts below, give 💸 whenever you can, and amplify their message - Gaza deserves to live!

Meta unexpectedly shut down our main account @ibrahimforgaza with no warning or explanation.

This account is a mutual aid humanitarian account focused on documenting our many mutual aid projects on the ground. This account was built up with the intention of increasing our reach in order to support our people surviving this catastrophe we are collectively experiencing. Meta’s censorship directly impacts our ability to fund our projects and support our people. Meta is complicit in the our people’s destruction and we demand that our account be reactivated.

We need your help! We need you to:

✊🏽 tag meta and bug them continuously to reactivate our account. Email them, DM them, tag them, do all the things! Tell them to reactivate our accounts @ibrahimforgaza, @ibrahimforgaza2, and @ibrahimforgaza3

✊🏽 take a moment to give a gift today:

✊🏽 help us get eyes on this!

Friends, I just wanna mention that my Instagram is severely suppressed because 99% of my stories are about Palestine. I noticed months ago that my engagement is nearly non-existent. As in, 10 views on a story, 10 likes on a post, etc.

Anyway, screw meta, screw Isnotreal and Free Palestine byotches and follow me there to engage more with Palestine content just to spite them.

In spite of everything they’re trying to do to block our voices, I just see their actions as the pathetic floundering of someone who’s lost so badly yet doesn’t have the self respect or dignity to accept it 💅😌

The @palestinaemportugues (https://t.me/palestinaemportugues) page has been inaccessible for several hours. Before being censored by Instagram, this page already had more than 20 thousand followers, and its publications reached hundreds or thousands of people daily.

This is the latest in an extensive list of pages that have been deleted or whose publication reach has been greatly limited by Instagram and Facebook. The silencing of pro-Palestinian voices makes Meta one of the biggest accomplices in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

We reinforce the appeal to our followers to follow us here on Telegram and on our website: http://guilhotina.info

I made a comment on an Instagram post some minutes ago, it was immediately taken down. I made the exact same comment in the same post some minutes later, and I removed only the two tags I've used previously. The comment is still up.

The tags I removed: #freepalestine🇵🇸 #gazagenocide

Via Key48return @IG this morning

So glad me and others screenshotted all 11 slides of the truth about Al Aqsa Flood because META of course has now censored it entirely!

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days. That was a guesstimate based on a different person saying that's when Congress is back in session and may be false.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass Congress.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

What will it passing do?

Nothing much, only prevent any education on LGBTQIA+ (it's that stupid fucking argument about us grooming kids again), shut down nearly every fandom space on the internet, and make it required for most big tech companies to have your ID.

Want to have resources for kids to discover their identity readily available? Yes? Then fucking speak up against this stupid fucking bill.

Fandom spaces like Tumblr, Twitter (? I thought the MAGA assholes liked Musk?), Tiktok, Archive Of Our Own, and any other website that hosts fanfic or fanart? Either shut down permanently, forced to uproot to a different country and down for a while (best case scenario, and they likely won't be able to send any data, and therefore fanfics, to the US), or gutted so that you only get to put G rated cishet ships on there, if any shipping at all. How to avoid that? I've already said it: Call your fucking representatives.

Want to avoid the fucking dystopic task of being legally obligated to give big tech your government issue ID? Again, cause an uproar. Call your goddamned representatives.

If they can pass this, the ripple effects could be catastrophic.

So, for fuck's sake, any Americans that can impact this stupid fucking bill and see this? Do everything in your power to shut it down because you have until February twenty sixth (26th) to send this bill back to where it belongs.

And if you can't do that? Reblog, copy my tags, and boost the signal.

Sorry not sorry for ranting, making you scroll through that, and swearing a probably excessive amount, but KOSA is a bill with a GLOBAL IMPACT being passed by ONE COUNTRY because some old people are scared of two guys with who were told they were girls kissing within five hundred miles of a child. Fuck this shit, I shouldn't have to worry about bad bills in America but I fucking do because I use the internet and would like to avoid mass censorship. Fuck this, fuck conservatives, and fuck the fact that some boomers make your country's policies.

Now, if you won't mind me, I'm going to be up until three in the morning downloading fanfiction or copying and pasting them into a a text file if I can't so I can read them by the end of the week.

Meta has engaged in a “systemic and global” censorship of pro-Palestinian content since the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza war on 7 October, according to a new report from Human Rights Watch (HRW). In a scathing 51-page report, the organization documented and reviewed more than a thousand reported instances of Meta removing content and suspending or permanently banning accounts on Facebook and Instagram. The company exhibited “six key patterns of undue censorship” of content in support of Palestine and Palestinians, including the taking down of posts, stories and comments; disabling accounts; restricting users’ ability to interact with others’ posts; and “shadow banning”, where the visibility and reach of a person’s material is significantly reduced, according to HRW. Examples it cites include content originating from more than 60 countries, mostly in English, and all in “peaceful support of Palestine, expressed in diverse ways”. Even HRW’s own posts seeking examples of online censorship were flagged as spam, the report said. “Censorship of content related to Palestine on Instagram and Facebook is systemic and global [and] Meta’s inconsistent enforcement of its own policies led to the erroneous removal of content about Palestine,” the group said in the report, citing “erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals” as the roots of the problem.

[...]

Users of Meta’s products have documented what they say is technological bias in favor of pro-Israel content and against pro-Palestinian posts. Instagram’s translation software replaced “Palestinian” followed by the Arabic phrase “Praise be to Allah” to “Palestinian terrorists” in English. WhatsApp’s AI, when asked to generate images of Palestinian boys and girls, created cartoon children with guns, whereas its images Israeli children did not include firearms.

Instagram has permanently banned the account of Columbia University’s Students for Justice in Palestine, according to a post on social media platform X. “As the school year is just about to begin, Columbia SJP has been permanently banned from Instagram.” “Our account was permanently deleted at 124k followers at the same time as our backup account, and when we made a new page it was deleted within 2 days,” the student group said. Instagram gave no reason for permanently closing Columbia SJP’s account, the group added.

Saw the director of Addicted Heroin Thailand had posted this on his Facebook account:

This man looked at the show that was the tipping point of the first big anti-gay censorship wave in China in the 2010s, and decided to remake it and intentionally self-censor, just to see if he could attract the "Chinese BL is superior because it doesn't rely on kisses or NC scenes to show the emotions" audience to Thai BL?

I am so mad about this.

The timing was ironic.

The Breach’s production assistant logged into Instagram on Friday to share a graphic asking readers to subscribe to our newsletter and bookmark our homepage in case Meta and Google cut off other pathways to our work.

Instead, she saw an error message. She clicked on our Instagram profile and saw another error message, the one that has been popping up on the accounts of other media outlets. “People in Canada can’t see this content,” it said.

All of The Breach’s posts, including a recent infographic exposing the climate harms of Canada’s 2023 wildfire season and a story summary about Quebec tenants fighting back against bad policy, were gone.

The Breach is an independent news outlet, funded mostly by readers, that operates as a non-profit. We produce investigations, analysis and video content about the crises of racism, inequality, colonialism and climate breakdown. Thousands of new readers discover The Breach on Instagram, Facebook and Google every month, or use those platforms to share our work. [...]

MXTX: so the story starts with the main character's death. Then we unravel his story and how he tried his best but had to resort to fucked up methods in order to create real change and save lives, how society supported him while it benefited them and then turned on him when it was convenient, how his complicated social status of being gentry-adjacent was intrinsically tied into every decision he made AND how he was judged before during and after those decisions, how he experienced abuse and abandonment and support and love, saved lives AND killed people. He sacrificed everything but never compromised his ideals once, and it got him killed.

MXTX: and then we close the story on the death of this other guy, who we're also shown having gone through ALL THAT SAME STUFF, except this guy compromises every single time and that ALSO got him killed.

MXTX: neither of them were killed because it was "right" to, or because they were "evil", but because those with power in society were done with them. Their past actions were used to excuse their executions, and it's kinda fucked up actually, wouldn't you say?
