      Wow, I didn’t think “Facebook sucks” would be such a controversial statement on a place like Lemmy or kbin

      I wonder if people would have the same reaction if the person in question was a known Islamic Terrorist. If there were Facebook groups praising the legacy of Osama Bin Laden, would Meta be then justified to carry out similar censorship?

        This guy isn’t a terrorist, or at least is not demonstrably so.

        His only crime is wanting to create a place for Sikhs. Maybe he uses violence but I don’t see that in a Google search.

        Besides which, if india had credible evidence he was a terrorist…. Chances are solid that he’d have been extradited long before now. It sounds like he wasn’t actually a citizen, but a refugee

      Yeah a random minute wage Indian worker applied policy wrong. Absolutely fantastic reason to not use the platform!!! 🤦‍♂️

      This type of shit is exactly why nobody listens to privacy advocates. People see this reaction and just laugh.

        What does this persons comment have to do with being a privacy advocate? Maybe they’re just vehemently anti monopoly and hate Facebook for that.

        Judging by the downvotes everyone saw your reaction and laughed instead of the one you’re replying to…
