    Anyone else remember when the Bush administration considered people who read Linux Journal to be targeted for extra surveillance because they labelled Linux Journal an extremist forum for merely discussing the existence of Tor and Tails?

    Pepperidge Farm 'members.

    Further, anyone else remember when the Bush admin pushed Total Information Awareness, a program that was collecting the kind of information on US citizens that those same citizens give away freely to Facebook without needing to be surveilled?

    We 'member that, too.

    So what’s going on here? Is this related to the new US administration? Or Microsoft and Meta exchanging money to silence the competition? Genuinely confused, but it seems fairly important whatever the motivations.

    Discussing a specific linux distribution is not “discussing linux”.

    Linking to a post on another website about a linux distribution isn’t either.

        The linked article has a screenshot with a link to a post about openKylin getting removed. OP title is “Facebook ban on discussing Linux?” including the question mark. I don’t think it is accurate. At the same time I’m not defending Facebook in any way.

          You defending corpo censorship and also title has a question mark either way.

          If you didn’t mean to come off as bootlicker, then you need to work on that tone, “akshually”
