A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I agree with you, but true free speech also gives Facebook the right to choose its own themes. I'd vote with my feet on this one, but I already abandoned Facebook years ago.
Oh I know, it's just that they said they're removing moderation for "free speech" and then remove one of the ways you can express themselves. Just hypocritical.
For sure. Any social media company that says they're pro free speech is just posturing at best. They have full dictator control of their systems.
Facebook's free speech, not yours.
Yes. I don't have any guaranteed speech rights on Facebook.
I am well aware. However, it's a bit misleading to rebrand yourself as a free speech platform but limit the speech you don't like.
I agree.
