Now that Meta is actively rolling out its content policy changes, we are deeply concerned that they will harm vulnerable people. If the company truly values free speech—and its users—it’s moving in the wrong direction. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/metas-new-content-policy-will-harm-vulnerable-users-if-it-really-valued-free
Meta has a clear and disturbing track record of silencing and further marginalizing those who are already oppressed, and then being less than forthright about their content moderation policy. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/metas-new-content-policy-will-harm-vulnerable-users-if-it-really-valued-free
While human rights and digital rights groups, as well as its users, have won important victories from Meta, these changes indicate the company will backslide rather than make improvements. We urge the company to redirect its focus to empowering historically marginalized speakers, rather than empowering only their detractors.
