I assume this must be some new Ai tech they use in the back. And it doesn't work well. I can't think of any reason why Facebook would do this intentionally.

Copenhagen-hosted DistroWatch says it has tried to appeal against the Community Standards-triggered ban. However, they say that a Facebook representative said that Linux topics would remain on the cybersecurity filter.

Nope, this one isn't ignorance, it's actual malice. They fully intended to start blocking Linux topics.

When you take this and pair it with what Larry Ellison just recently said:

AI will ensure "citizens will be on their best behavior"

There tends to be a pattern forming that I really don't want to draw because I like tinfoil on my head.

Fucking lawnmower piece of shit. Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
