#Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain because they relate to #feminism The theatre was told that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform [topics that are central to Woolf’s work] are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system” and are filtered out. To resolve the situation, Meta recommended removing “key words” so that the text doesn’t appear to encourage activism. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/21/meta-ban-virginia-woolf-a-room-of-ones-own-barcelona-teatre-raval #SocialMedia #Censorship

    @afewbugs@social.coop you would also think there would be more pushback from society in a country that had a fascist dictatorship in my own living memory (I still remember seeing coins with Franco on them when I was a lad as my parents owned a launderette and folk would put them in the driers in place of the similarly sized UK 5p coin of that era)

    @afewbugs@social.coop Classic Nazi tactic. Slow, progressive bans on things they don’t like. No big steps that might cause a backlash, rather more and more and more small steps towards the construction of the furnaces to burn the thousands of unwanted bodies.

    @afewbugs@social.coop META is a whole pile of shite. Lies, data breaches, lies and more lies, crappy rules for what is acceptable (wtf are 'social topics' and why do they have to be censored??). Is META already run by stupid robots? My goodness, what the world has come to...

    @afewbugs@social.coop Put $Bs in charge whose priority is guarding and enlarging their mountains of gold and this is what we get. The goal becomes “keep the sheep subdued as to not cause rebellion to our dominance and control. Keep them in line for their shearings.” 😳
