idk if this has been shared yet by others here but like, beyond just what Meta’s “transparency center” already describes publicly, the leaked internal documents are Insane.

Examples of newly permissible speech on Facebook and Instagram highlighted in the training materials include:
"Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit."
"Gays are freaks."
"Look at that tranny (beneath photo of 17
year old girl)."
The changes are part of a broader policy shift that includes the suspension of the company's fact-checking program. The goal, Meta said Tuesday, is to "allow more speech by lifting restrictions."
Overall, the restrictions on claims of ethnic or religious supremacy has been eased significantly. The document explains that Meta now allows “statements of superiority as long as the statements do not refer to inferiority of another [protected characteristic] group (a) on the basis of inherent intellectual ability and (b) without support.” Allowable statements under this rule include “Latinos are the best!” and “Black people are superior to all others.” Also now acceptable are comparative claims such as “Black people are more violent than Whites,” “Mexicans are lazier than Asians,” and “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians.” Off-limits, only because it pertains to intellectual ability, is the example “White people are more intelligent than black people.”
