It's Meta. They censor stuff. If I post Youtube videos on Facebook they usually get covertly censored (i.e. I can see it bu my friends can't see it on their feeds). It doesn't happen if I post the video directly to Facebook.
Though once when I posted a video of me playing Beethoven on Facebook they censored out the audio because their idiot ML thought it was copyrighted music.
I posted a link of a charity donation page after a disaster once and it was also similarly censored. I deleted it and reposted a text-only status asking people to google certain words to find the page and only then could my friends see the post.
They do similar things on Instagram as well, most of my followers can't see most of my posts anymore. Because I don't do this Reel bullshit, Instagram has decided to mostly censor my content from my own friends.
Not surprised they do it on WhatsApp at all.
- jeromegv 4y agoNot really censorship but more like the algo. Algo promotes Facebook videos over YouTube. For a while also promoted text posts over external links, so that you don’t go outside Facebook. And now promote reels over video on IG This is the beauty of algos!
- dheera 4y agoI prefer to call it what it is. Using "algo" as an excuse to make friend-to-friend communications not get seen is tantamount to censorship.
