Doubt it. They're already censoring news they don't like.
- PaulHoule 3y agoFunny, other people are complaining that they aren't censoring "transphobic" posts.
- zichy 3y agoWhat do you mean by censoring and why did you put transphobic in quotation marks?
- patagurbon 3y agoThere's only ever one reason...
- deadeye 3y agoProbably because saying benign stuff like "there are only two genders" is considered transphobic by radicals.
- PaulHoule 3y agoThere are (1) people like J.K. Rowling, (2) people like Kiwi Farms, and (3) people who can’t tell the difference between (2) and (3). (3) likes to use the word “transphobic” indiscriminately. To be fair I don’t know if the people involved are complaining about (1) or (2) or both but they are using a word that I am putting in quotes.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoSee, this is exactly the kind of thread I would not want to see on Threads (or HN)
- treeman79 3y agohttps://notthebee.com/article/metas-twitter-clone-launches-immediately-censors-the-masses https://notthebee.com/article/metas-twitter-clone-launches-i... Tons of censoring. Not even allowed to talk about the cocaine found at the White House.
- yeeetz 3y agoI gotta say removing political/controversial topics isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just depends on your use case and stuff. Not every platform needs to be a free speech zone—right now it feels like a pretty chill space to share food pics and talk about inconsequential topics with friends.
- housemusicfan 3y agoWow. How are they already tagging accounts as "repeatedly posting false information that was reviewed by our independent fact checkers" if they've only been up for what, a day? Seems a bit premature unless they already had a pre-written blacklist.

- dragonwriter 3y agoYou can do something repeatedly in the space of 24 hours, and if there isn't a backlog (and its hard to have one before you launch), there's no reason fact-check review of non-complicated cases has to have high latency.
