News Facebook flags Linux topics as 'cybersecurity threats' — posts and users being blocked

Be careful what you ask for because you will get it. Aside from communicating with friends and family, the absolutely worst place possible for actual "news". It will get worse.

Just my educated $0.02. Keep the change.

See that's everyone's first problem, they are looking for news on FB... The only reliable news that exists today is personally reading the source material a writer cites for their politically biased and highly narrativized stories they call an article.

Exactly. Sad but true for many. Changes will make worse.

This is clearly to protect yankee corporations, Microsoft first of all and also Apple.

Microsoft is doing so bad for people, is no wonder Linux is getting more atention, specially in gaming market.

Also, w11 is a spyware, guess who want your info.

Meh...I don't even use FB and It's a big LOL that this is even news for some. Linux doesn't need FB, but FB definitely need Linux 😈

"Yankee" corporations? That is a very 250+ year old British thing to refer to Americans or their companies lol.

A censored five letter word that starts with G? A slang term for the perineum? This might be one of those situations where censoring the word only leads to imagining worse 😄

Gonad?

I would not mind to see platforms like Facebook just completely vanish from the internet. They are just total and complete dumpster fires.

I know you're joking, but Linus isn't that petty. Not only that, but he works for the Linux Foundation, of which Meta is a big contributor. So, it would literally be biting a hand that feeds him.

More important would be the reputational damage. I'm sure he'd either be fired or most of the big industry players would just fork Linux and the Foundation (and Linus) would become irrelevant. Once you break trust like that, there'd be no going back.
