No. BigTech has now started playing the same game as most of the corporate run media around the world - cater to the whims of those in power, political ideology be damned. Right-wing government in power - sure we'll spread the hate for you and censor the voice of the opposition and minorities. Left-wing in power - sure, we'll give prominence to your "liberal" ideas and help in suppressing any criticism against it.
Meta has put in place policies to suppress sharing of information about what terrorist organizations like Russia, Iran, and Hamas are up to.
These same policies, if applied to the Holocaust, would put companies like Meta firmly on the side of Holocaust denial. Try to post about the attrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine, and you'll get demonitized, censored. Same deal if you try to post about what Hamas does to their own people, let alone Israelis.
They have allied themselves with organizations that masquerade as "fact checkers", but who just want to push a narrative. For example, reuters, who made the preposterous claim that Hamas didn't harm anyone at the music festival, when they in fact slaughtered hundreds.
