Facebook has pushed back on those claims.

I recorded that, just can't wait to watch how they manipulate people for the company gains.
--- Quote from: For Real on October 04, 2021, 15:18 ---Any thoughts on why Facebook and IG are down? Of course they are not removing any data that might hurt them from what the whistleblower said 8)

No thoughts, I don't really use FB and Instagram I thought died years ago? Messenger is so stupid, I'm thinking of blocking everyone, but now and then, on a rare month, I'd actually like to see something from a specific friend.
I think it was Netflix’s ‘The Social Dilemma’ that was really scary, Former employees of Google, Facebook and others, reveal the inside goals and directives. Some of it is drama, but based on history and reality.

Based on that logic, this forum may also be guilty.
We can't blame the paper producer for the news printed on a newspaper, or the post office for delivering hate mail, or newspapers spreading misinformation.
Hate, violence and misinformation existed long before FB.
It's human nature. People on FB are hateful, violent and liars, not FB.

NRA always states--People kill people not guns. I do agree with that people are the ones responsible. Just like on this forum we can remove nasty comments if needed.

And to a large extent, FB is already deleting or hiding nasty posts. Serial offenders are banned, including a former president.
Obviously these people are accusing FB of censorship, while as we can see in that report, some others are blaming FB for not doing enough policing.
Both groups are wrong. FB is a private company and it should be free to design its own rules, to prosper or die as a consequence of its decisions.
Those who don't like it, from either side of the argument, are free to leave and chose a competitor.
