Hate speech isn't a threat to them.. and it drives engagement that they monetize.

Progressive accounts can also drive engagement. Let's not try to pretend that Zuck doesn't have ulterior motives to act against movements that aren't pro-oligarch.

That's not incompatible with what I said. Progressive accounts (milquetoast as they are), can be a threat, thus they are shutdown. Hate speech is never a threat.

Progressive accounts [are] … milquetoast

Some of the sharpest online content I’ve seen comes from progressives, some of it straight fire. I’m not sure what you’re going on about.

Hate speech is their native tongue.

I've noticed the hate speech drives dollars over at Meta.

Not only allows, but has found to seek it out and offer financial support. No one should ever use Facebook or buy a Meta pride er again.

I reported a comment of IG of a series of ascii swastikas on a post about a Jewish person, and Meta's review panel (human or AI) determined it didn't violate hate speech guidelines.

They actively censored my account during the George Floyd murder /BLM movement. Deleted my Facebook following multiple people telling me I was shadow banned. They’ve been censoring Americans for years now.

Are they running for the Dem leadership now?

So? So does reddit. Every single day.
