Meta is now removing content related to abortion. Last week, it was LGBTQ+ content. When we say porn is the canary in the coal mine of free speech, it's not because we're narcissists. It's gd warning about what's coming ... for you. All speech that is politically disfavored is at risk.

Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts (Gift Article)

Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

Finland is often regarded as a prime example of how to effectively counter disinformation. The country’s proactive approach, which includes education, media literacy, and coordinated government strategies, has set a benchmark for tackling this global challenge.

Given the waves of alarming changes emerging from Meta, it's clear that the myth of tech being inherently liberal needs to be retired. Tech owners, like sunflowers, always turn toward power.
