no surprise here from facebook;

It turns out that Mark Zuckerberg and Joel Kaplan aren't so committed to embracing "free speech" after all.

"Facebook's guidelines overhaul opened season on just about every topic exception one," Gab CEO Andrew Torba commented Wednesday on X. "Every time."

He included a quote from Wired Mag detailing the exceptions to Facebook's "free speech" rules:

The updates similarly preserve a number of older restrictions that Meta has had in place for years. The current version of the policy maintains prohibitions on Holocaust denials, blackface, insinuations about Jewish people controlling the media.

"I think this is broadly what the shift to 'free speech' is about from all of these guys," Torba said in a follow-up post. "Look now you can say whatever you want (except that!) so free speech is restored! People are noticing way too much, especially after Israel bombing kids for the past year. So they open the floodgates of 'free speech' to allow everyone to focus on anyone else but them."..........more.........
