sound like a great reason to stop using Facebook
Toss it on the pile.
Wow, I didn't think "Facebook sucks" would be such a controversial statement on a place like Lemmy or kbin
I wonder if people would have the same reaction if the person in question was a known Islamic Terrorist. If there were Facebook groups praising the legacy of Osama Bin Laden, would Meta be then justified to carry out similar censorship?
This guy isn’t a terrorist, or at least is not demonstrably so.
His only crime is wanting to create a place for Sikhs. Maybe he uses violence but I don’t see that in a Google search.
Besides which, if india had credible evidence he was a terrorist…. Chances are solid that he’d have been extradited long before now. It sounds like he wasn’t actually a citizen, but a refugee
This guy is a wanted terrorist in India. I agree he wanted a place for Sikhs but on what cost? He wanted to split the nation and it is unacceptable. He created so much violence inside the nation for that, many people were killed. It is like those proud boys want to split America and make Texas a country.
And if the leader of the Proud Boys moved to India, I wouldn't expect Americans to assassinate him, nor would I expect that to be tolerated.
Yeah a random minute wage Indian worker applied policy wrong. Absolutely fantastic reason to not use the platform!!! 🤦♂️
This type of shit is exactly why nobody listens to privacy advocates. People see this reaction and just laugh.
