There's many minority languages out there. Imagine posts in Basque or Uyghur being deleted because they're not in the list of "good" languages. Or Rohingya for that matter.
People would rightfully call it linguistic suppression.
- Loughla 5y agoImagine a world where a multi-national, multi-billion dollar company had the resources available to provide support for all of those minority languages. Spoiler - it's our current world. They have the resources. I cannot be convinced that native language support for all languages in the world isn't an option for companies that make literally hundreds of Billions of dollars annually. If you want to make money on a language via selling ads, you should be able to moderate that content in that language. I have no idea why you're fighting against that argument.
- mikeyouse 5y agoThis isn't about random posts in those languages - it's about paid content promotion. There's surely a different level of responsibility for Facebook to accept funds to promote a post vs. host a post?
- overthemoon 5y agoIf Facebook deciding not to run ads in Basque means that language is being suppressed, then there are larger problems than Facebook's ad policy.
