This is actually true? Facebook bans users who talk about contraception and HIV? I don't use Facebook so no idea if this is true or not personally, but ChatGPT

  Respectfully, do a Google search and not a ChatGPT one. Facebook's recent nonsense is fairly well documented. (They have also gone back and forth on this a few times) https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/dec/11/meta-shuts-down-global-accounts-linked-to-abortion-advice-and-queer-content https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/dec/11/m...

  > ChatGPT seems to think this isn't true Please don't do this. Quote an authoritative source, not some AI bot known for ~hallucinating~ bullshitting. This goes double when dealing with such an emotive subject.

    >Quote an authoritative source What authoritative source did the parent post for their assertion?
    • GJim 4mo ago
      'Whataboutism' isn't a valid criticism of my post.
      • EarlKing 4mo ago
        It's not 'whataboutism' when you're impugning their authority while seemingly have none of your own... or, in the alternative, even if it is, it's quite valid in this instance.

    gpt 5.5 thinking is more reliable than the median internet commenter
    • dgellow 4mo ago
      Then quote the source gpt 5.5 gives you
    • vanviegen 4mo ago
      Yes, but one wouldn't quote these as if they were trusted sources either.

  I assume they're talking about https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/dec/11/meta-shuts-down-global-accounts-linked-to-abortion-advice-and-queer-content https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/dec/11/m... Meta is a garbage company. An absolutely fetid cancer on humanity that offers zero good and all bad. Most companies have good and bad. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Valve, and so on. They have the things that should be criticized, but have some good they bring to the world. Meta -- just a malignant, cancerous venue for stupidity. An organization that exists on the backs of scammers, cons, hate, disinformation, and so on. Like use Instagram for a day and it's just amazing that this hive of villainy and scum hasn't been banned every country worldwide but the one where the plutocrats run the country.

    I'll add that Meta doesn't actually physically work on top of that What do we want from companies? Companies tied to a real identity, social networking. You want a way for people to message you - ...oops https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4151433 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4151433 ...oops https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6090712 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6090712 ...oops https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/1c0xfdz/messenger_messed_up_since_endtoend_encryption/ https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/1c0xfdz/messenger... ...and a way to see people's status updates. ...oops https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14147719 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14147719 Seriously has any CEO of a tech company been caught doing what MZ has done?
