Summary
Meta’s Instagram faced criticism after searches for “Democrat” or “Democrats” displayed a “results hidden” message, while “Republican” returned 3.3 million posts.
The issue emerged after Donald Trump’s inauguration, which Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg attended.
Meta attributed the problem to a technical error affecting political hashtags and promised a quick fix.
Critics, however, flagged concerns over perceived political bias, especially as Meta has recently shifted content moderation policies and aligned closer to the Republican administration, including donations to Trump and appointing a Republican as global affairs chief.
So comprehension then. Thanks!
IDK dog if this many people misunderstood my point I’d be trying better not doubling down on blaming them but you do you
I’m happy to accept that there are a lot of stupid people on Lemmy, particularly the politics communities.
If you err, it is not correct to blame everyone else. Lest you want to commit fallacies
I did not err.
Okay, but it seems there are a few disagreeing with it
As they pointed out - reading comprehension issues.
everybody else is wrong, surely
Only those who replied. Many didn’t who likely read better.
There were many articles about conservatives saying that meta was blocking them. Twitter too. Show me how I “erred”.
You erred. Communication is two-way. It’s okay, I err sometimes. It happens. Pedantry isn’t the answer.
I see you agree that I’m right and were glad to admit it. Thanks!
