Is it censored, or do most people just not talk about it on Facebook?

It's interesting how incredibly supportive of human rights that a platform in bed with the CCP became, no? Do you think that China's human rights bugaboos are often discussed on their internal social networks?

It's amplified.

No, I do not think China's bugaboos are allowed on TikTok for the exact same reason the US's are not allowed on Facebook

    I mean, I've seen plenty of dissenting material against the powers-that-be on Meta platforms over the years, but okay.

    Police brutality (both viewpoints), COVID conspiracies, election conspiracies, etc. are not particularly hard to find on there.

    It's possible, but ultimately it's hard to tell, especially in regard to the American users.

    The results of the election would point to the idea that most American voters aren't so perturbed by what's happening in Gaza as to want an administration that would be at least as effective in reeling in the Israelis as the Biden administration was. Whether that's right or wrong, well, that's another discussion.

    It's a chicken-or-the-egg problem. Do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because it's censored, or do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because no one was talking about it to begin with?

      >that most American voters aren't so perturbed by what's happening in Gaza as to want an administration that would be at least as effective in reeling in the Israelis as the Biden administration was.

      It's not hard to be at least as capable as somebody who's completly incapable. Think what you will of Trump, but in one meeting he had a solid deadline for implementing the ceasefire agreement the Biden admin has had floating since May. There weren't even any changes to it, so what the heck has Biden been doing?
