Today’s story comes from the murky depths of Facebook and Instagram’s new rules for censorship, a move that seems to be painting itself into a corner.
Facebook is tightening its noose around free speech by clamping down on terms like “Antifa.” It’s a dance of double standards—when will they start censoring the far-right? When the alt-right coined these labels, did anyone raise an eyebrow?
The tech giants are playing at being gatekeepers. They act as if their platforms are neutral zones, but everyone knows they aren’t. Their policies have never been about free speech; they’re about control, plain and simple.
This is nothing new, really. It’s just the latest chapter in a long story of how technology serves those who hold the power. They use it to surveil us, silence dissenters, and mold opinions. But there's always a crack in every facade. The minute they start censoring words like “Antifa,” someone else starts whispering them louder.
It’s hard not to laugh when you see these giants trying to dictate what can or cannot be said online. They must think we’re fools, that we won’t notice the cracks growing wider every day.
