child exploitation and hate speech, cool cool cool. any mention of a loose-knit global movement against fascism that has existed for decades, that's dangerous. priorities!

Conservative voters are so stupid, they actually think Antifa and Anonymous are official, trademarked, centralized organizations. Just start saying the full thing, "anti-fascist" when describing protestors, etc...

You cannot be pro Democracy without being Antifa. If you do not support fascism, you are antifa.

So, anti fascism is not allowed in USA? Understandable, it want not allowed in Italy 1922-1943 nor in Germany 1933-1945.

So this basically means they are proud to be "Fascist" then.

tl;dr this new policy is dumb and bad. References to specific things like Antifa make no logical sense as a grounds for censorship, because there were already reasonable rules in place to handle actual problems.

In some cases, the content that Meta considers a threat signal is commonsensical. If, for instance, a user mentions bringing a weapon to an event, the company flags it as a threat signal. But in other cases, Meta’s process for identifying threat signals is more vague. Under the new rules, Meta might trigger a threat signal when a user posts a “visual depiction of a weapon,” a “reference to arson, theft, or vandalism,” or “military language,” if accompanied by the word “antifa.”

If “antifa” is mentioned in the context of “references to historical or recent incidents of violence” — a category so sprawling that it includes “historic wars” and “battles” — that post will also be penalized. Should Meta apply this rule as written, the company could, for instance, restrict posts comparing the antifascist nature of World War II to the contemporary antifa movement.

It's difficult to believe any intellectual discussion would happen on Facebook, but this rule further cements the suppression of it.

As a self proclaimed leftist who has been to many protests, I have never once heard anyone say the word Antifa except for my Maga boss when he thought Antifa was going to come and rob his house after the BLM protests...

I can’t believe anybody uses products from this company anymore.

Looks like Zuck is all in and has no choice but to support evil, because if/when the evil collapses, so does Zuck. Must be stressful for him as history has shown that this behaviour eventually catches up to them. Sadly, some make it too old age and run entire countries before it catches up which causes a lot of unnecessary suffering.

Fuck you Mark Cuckerberg.

So the bots and borderline mentally handicapped senior citizens that use Facebook can no longer say "antifa".

Whatever.

I have a Facebook account with a fake name so I can peruse Marketplace. The shit that it tried to get me view is literally insane. A outrage inducing AI post that's clearly fake with thousands of comments littered with spelling errors that are barely even readable. Facebook makes me realize how Trump was elected. People are very very very stupid. Go see for yourself. You won't believe your eyes.

Is "Pro-Constitution" and "Anti-Tyranny" gonna be on a list of banned words?

No anti-fascist calls themselves antifa and being anti-fascist is the default state of being for every single person who is not a fascist.

'Antifa' is a fabricated scare term prompted by the right-wing elite's media influence campaign. It exists as a term in order to imply that there is some actual secret organization which can be presented as the boogey man to scare working-class people and/or to label as a terrorist organization so the elites in power can use the power of law enforcement to attack and jail their monied political opponents by claiming their association with or funding of a 'known domestic terror group'.

Anything saying 'antifa' on social media is either intentional propaganda or the ignorant masses propagating those same memes.

No no officer I didn't say antifa. I said I was a fashopp (Fascism Opponent)

Antifa antifa antifa antifa antifa oh damn looks like lemmy is not yet ruled by pedophiles

I think the word is mostly used by the far right anyways

Ok, we can write anti-fascist...it's just a tiny bit more verbose...

...right?

This is why Facebook is banned in China and should be in any civilized country. It's nothing but an extension of US soft power and its fascist imperialist tentacles.

The only time I ever see the word used is by some conservative Karen bleating about how it's a terrorist org or whatever, so nice self-own I guess?

Anybody taking bets on what the “unalive” equivalent of antifacist is going to be?

Imma bout to get banned on instagram…

Good. People who still utilize these properties should be abused until they realize they can use a different service.

is that the same guy claiming that there should be no moderation on Facebook for "true freedom" and who cried his eyes out telling stories of horrible Democracts making him take out deranged individuals off platform? Well...

Antifa is not really a thing, they could also call it anti personal hygiene club because that's kind of how they smell.

Also there is a diversity of leftwing ideas that are at odds with each other.

The MAGA right tries to make this into an organization with clear goals and that's just ridiculous.

I would love to see a series of comics featuring Uncle Sam and Auntie Fay as like, a modern Archie and Edith. Or maybe as bitter divorcees but Sam is always shooting himself in the foot and blaming it on his ex-wife Fay, but she's logical and always catches him in his own trap with some sort of clever fourth-panel punchline.
