Wow. Meta has blocked all links to the Kansas Reflector—the nonprofit newsroom that broke the story of the Marion County Record police raid—likely because they published a column this morning criticizing the platform's censorship of climate change-related ads. kansasreflector.com/2024/04/04/f...

Yep, fb notified me it removed a post from a couple years ago and I was confused until I realized it was a link to a Reflector story. They can really use support, it's one of the few quality journalism outlets in KS.

I'm Canadian. We're not allowed ANY news via Meta.

I tried to post a link to the article on Facebook, and it was rejected for being "spam." Nice fascist site you've got there, Zuck.

They deleted two of my posts linking to the Reflector this morning - thanks for this news it makes everything a lot clearer!

Vile

In Canada, where all news orgs are blocked on FB due to blackmailing the government about its FB-taxing legislation, FB has extended the privilege of "news organization" to... the CJPME, the country's premier Pro-Palestinian advocacy group. So now they can't post links to Facebook.In Canada, where all news orgs are blocked on FB due to blackmailing the government about its FB-taxing legislation, FB has extended the privilege of "news organization" to... the CJPME, the country's premier Pro-Palestinian advocacy group.

I got the same notice today having shared a column from the opinion editor of KS Reflector (one of my college j-school buddies and a writer I deeply respect!)

Seems to work fine for me so far.

Amazing that they're focused on this. Meanwhile, various accounts I know have been hacked and turned into crypto scams but my constant reports keep getting rejected.
