> The social network will also prohibit stereotypes about Jewish people running the world or “controlling major institutions such as media networks, the economy or the government.” Sure, the most well known social media founded by a Jewish person censuring conspiracy theories about Jewish controlling the media will absolutely not fuel the said theories... /s

It's as stupid as it gets. They are literally censoring the truth. Not that I have anything against Jewish people controlling/owning big corporations, I actually admire them because despite of everything they're still strong on the game. But you can't tell me that censoring talking about them won't have a backlash. I can already see it. "See, they own everything and have so much power that now they won't let us even talk about it".

  > But you can't tell me that censoring talking about them won't have a backlash. Yes, exactly my point. I find it very strange to fight a stereotype by acting in a way that could easily be casted into the said stereotype. If anything this will even make it stronger.

    Goes to a neighborhood with many XXX Tells them: "all of you XXX are violent, uneducated, and stupid" <gets slapped> responds: "Yes, exactly my point.

If anything this will even make it stronger." <gets slapped again> ------ Sometimes people should be slapped, censored or jailed, who cares if that is part of the stereotypical way people view the CEO of the the global company that enforce the policy in their company. Moreover, the fact that you are reiterating a stereotype that has nothing to do with Mark or Facebook. "If anything this will even make <facebook's case> stronger."

    I think that is the very reason that Fb has resisted this kind of action. Just alone the term "stereotype" is a gaslighting term invented by a Jewish person in order to gaslight and psychologically abuse people. Reality is that fb executives are wildly disproportionately Jewish and they are well aware of that, so the act of censoring the literal truth, so close to home, made them quite self-aware. But I think a combination of desperation/panic (people are increasingly noticing), buckling under the relentless pressure by Jewish groups, and hubris and drunken power has made them now relent/act. Even though the self-evident extreme abuse of the censorship they were self-aware of before remains. "No, in fact, all these Jewish people you see everywhere in control and involved in everything while only being about 1.5% of the US population, is only a "stereotype" (pavlovian bell rings) and a figment of your imagination." Let's see how Jewish YC reacts to this discussion topic. The good thing about digital censorship from the censor's perspective, is that there will remain no evidence of the censorship once thoughts and accounts have been disappeared. Poof… they're gone and the next person that loads the page will never know that this post or these conversations existed. It's like being a tyrant demigod; powers no other tyrant in human history has ever had at their disposal.

  It is the reiteration of an old mistake. Some say doing the same and expecting different results is madness. There has been content like this since the inception of the net and it was always a side issue and got new prominence exactly as there were attempts to ban 'hateful' content. True, there are some idiots actually trying to shoot up synagogues, religious Jews get the flak from thinks that are primarily associated with secular Jews, but that is to abstract for people insane enough to believe it. It just makes you so indescribably mad if content is banned in an effort to allegedly protect you. It also will increase animosity. Why not just ignore it? It worked extremely well... Jews were not oppressed because people had too much venues to utter their opinions, stupid as they may be. That is a complete inversion of conclusions that can be drawn from historical events.

  "They are literally censoring the truth" Far from it. The Jewish people don't control "the media" or facebook, there may be a person that happen to be Jewish that have a role or a job somewhere. Mentioning the "Jewish people" in this context does not make any sense beyond perpetuating stereotypes and the fact that you don't even seem to understand this makes Facebook's decision even more obvious.

    Weird, because considering that wildly disproportionate numbers of fb executives are Jewish, your point seems extremely manipulative, abusive, and gaslighting. So you are saying that reality is lying to us and you are telling the truth? Funny enough is that the very term "stereotype" was invented by a Jewish person as a trigger word to gaslight in the very same way. The very word "stereotype" is an abusive gaslighting ... "don't trust reality, believe what I am telling you".

      Great. I learned that the modern usage of the word 'stereotype' was coined in 1922 by Walter Lippmann, a German of Jewish descent [1]. I do not find this reference 'Funny', but IMO the fact that you do demonstrates your bias. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype#Etymology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype#Etymology

      No. 'extremely manipulative, abusive, and gaslighting" would be, for example: To suggest that a disproportionate number of executives at CNN have German descent (just to be clear, I have no idea what is the descent of executives in FB or CNN, nor do I care). So talking about the German-controlled CNN is just an important relevant fact for every discussion. Now, every time don't like an article I can just reference this "fact" that CNN are controlled by the people that also tried to commit a genocide and if someone argues, I'll just gaslight about gaslight.

  This policy is about the generalization: "Jewish people control media networks, the economy or the government" There is a literal difference between saying "German people are Nazis" and saying "Hitler was a Nazi", the latter shouldn't be censored, but context matter. Given a specific German person that happen to be a Nazi and using that fact to insinuate that Germans are Nazis, would not be OK.

Something similar struck me about the article. It does not list the "external partners" facebook is working with that are largely Jewish organizations that have been relentlessly hammering Facebook; founded by and largely led by Jewish people, to control speech, in direct violation of the US Constitution, in order to suppress the notion that Jewish people control things. It is unfortunately extremely abusive gaslighting behavior.
