“From the very first days of the pandemic, Spotify has been biased toward action.” Spotify completely ignored my requests for comment multiple times to ask if they even *had* a misinformation policy. This is a BS PR play from a company in tailspin. https://newsroom.spotify.com/ ...

In an abrupt reversal, OnlyFans suspends its October 1 policy change banning porn after securing “assurances” and aims to provide “a home for all creators”

The founder of OnlyFans confirms that high-profile anti-porn media campaigns from orgs like Exodus Cry and NCOSE prompted risk-averse banks to refuse to work with them, leading to the porn ban: “Banks read the same media as everyone else,” he said. https://www.ft.com/...

Anti-Semitic violence surged 57% in 2017. It hit an all-time high in 2019, per the ADL. Explain to me why Facebook didn't take action against Holocaust denialism years ago? Why is this happening now? https://twitter.com/...

Facebook says its new policy that bans the denial or distortion of the Holocaust does not apply to other genocides, such as the Armenian or Rwandan genocides
