Meta blocked a story critical of its climate change ad policies on all of its platform. An independent journalist asked permission to repost the story verbatim on her substack. It was blocked too.
Here it is.

@jackiegardina The big mistake is that anyone would think of Meta, or Facebook, as a public square. Of course, it’s not public. Just as the malls of yesteryear were not public. (Malls would never allow environmental activists, political activists, etc. to encounter the public on their private land.) These pseudo-public squares are places where the corporate leaders feeding at the profit trough will do anything to avoid “upsetting” their customers. Customers are not citizens. Customers are passive vehicles from which to profit.

It's not "when FB fails". #META ALREADY FAILED.
Asinine + stupid to sit there and hold Zuck's hand while he whines and snivels about stuff he don't understand because he no graduate college.

So he bombs kids in #Palestine, tells Congress it's None of Their Business what HOTEL he and his concubine stayin whilst he being questioned in DC;
meanwhile he tracks everyone's location, tattles, literally calls cops on anyone who don't like him.
@jackiegardina @FantasticalEconomics This is why #Biden should not be on any oligarch-controlled website.
