This is a positive regardless. Shaun king is a massive grifter.
Yeah seriously, one less blowhard on blowhard isle.
I cannot believe he still has supporters.
Meta suspended my personal account on FB just for posting that I was planning on leaving FB.
The ole “You can’t quit, you’re fired!” trick. Works every time.
Quite likely an intentional thing, like they found people saying they're leaving encourages others to leave. They might even view it like when reddit was blocking mentions of lemmy.
I mean you can say thanks to them for helping you then./jk
Good. Welcome home.
@return2ozma In response to this, every Arab country should ban Meta from processing payments or selling ads within their borders.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Meta has banned social justice activist Shaun King from Instagram, and he claims his account was disabled because he posted support for Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas war.
King, known for his social media advocacy on movements such as Black Lives Matter, had a following of more than 5 million users before his account on the Meta-owned platform was removed on Christmas Eve.
“The account was disabled due to multiple instances of praise for designated entities in violation of our policies,” a Meta spokesperson wrote in an email.
The organization analyzed patterns of “heightened censorship” around content supporting Palestinians, citing user reports of Meta removing their posts or restricting their access to certain Instagram and Facebook features.
“I formally appealed the night of the suspension, but have also now retained attorneys to proceed with the Civil Rights Division of the legal team at Meta,” King wrote in an email to NBC News Tuesday.
In his Facebook statement, he wrote that he is “safe” and that he had hoped his Instagram platform would serve as a cover for Palestinians who “cannot afford to lose their accounts” by documenting their plight within Gaza and the West Bank.
The original article contains 611 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I don't give a shit.
He should have done it with a MAGA hat and a swastika
Then Elon would have been cool with it
Elon has nothing to do with meta banning him though.
Good. I hope he comes here and Nina Turner, too.
Uh, aren't the two of them really shitty grifters that were also really abusive toward other leftists just because they disagreed with them on some things?
They both also cultivate extremely toxic fanbases they use to harass others.
Idk i really quit with politics some time ago; like I see if it blips across the screen, but I really think all politicians are corrupt, to varying degrees. It happens; we’re human. I’m more interested in direct action and mutual aid, but not in the space to do much, yet. It’s coming, though.
ETA: I’m very much interested in learning more, should you be wiling to shoot me some links.
Cancel culture isn’t fun when it comes after you.
Do you not know what that word means, or just trolling?
