Meta Is Blocking Links To ICE List on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

[SamuelTheThird]

Meta has started blocking its users from sharing links to ICE List, a website that has compiled the names of what it claims are Department of Homeland Security employees, a project the creators say is designed to hold those employees accountable.

Dominick Skinner, the creator of ICE List, tells WIRED that links to the website have been shared without issue on Meta’s platforms for more than six months.

1. K'n'R

2. At the same time that TikTok's new owners began blatantly censoring mentions of Epstein, etc.

3. This gives me a bad feeling. Why the censoring. ??

4. Because they are trumpers and want to protect pedo POTUS.

5. But DUers will never give up those products.

GIVE ME CONVENIENCE OR GIVE ME DEATH!!

6. I'll never understand it. Most of us here are older. That means we made it

to our 30s, 40s, or 50s before we became dependent on things like Amazon, Facebook, X, etc.

But life without them is just too hard for some to imagine.

(I say this, but I must make a true confession. I had weaned myself completely off Amazon for a couple of years, then my union switched healthcare plans and now I have to have Amazon as my prescription service. It bugs me no end.)

7. ugh! I understand if you are forced by your employer. That sucks!

But yeah, I quit Amazon, all the social media, etc.

I don't miss it. Yes, I'm living a slightly different life now, but I feel better about myself.

And, to be honest, I've rediscovered the joy of actual snail mail correspondence.

8. I never joined any social media other than DU, so I suppose it's easy for me to say,

but still. It's like begging to be hit in the face with a 2x4.

Next for me is trying to go back to cash as much as possible.

9. That's hardly the issue

A lot of (younger) people network and get all their info from these sites. Censorship of them has a marked effect.

[Coventina]

10. Younger people are being sold a censored view of the world.

I feel bad for them, but they better wise up quick or they will end up as cannon fodder in the oligarchs' wars.

[Skittles]

11. yup

it's pretty sickening
