    Facebook is literally the last place people should be getting their “political” content from.

        Because they algorithmically manipulate people to cause outrage and suppress left-of-center views, while also being complicit in mass murder and right-wing voter manipulation campaigns.

      This is a leftwing political account. It doesn’t post rage bait. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.

    What’s funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it’s more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.

      The history of Meta is allowing far right mis information so I’m not sure why you think it won’t be unfairly used against leftist content.

        As a leftist you should be able to easily spot far right misinformation and block the account accordingly

    That’s a good feature, politics on social media is just a cesspool these days. There’s nothing worth seeing because there’s no political discussion, just name calling, climate change denialism, racism and transphobia.

    Meta’s well aware that everyone’s tired of that uncle that just won’t shut up.

      I disagree. It is not a good feature. Everything is political. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.

    Why in the world would I want to see more bullshit from weirdos and grifters I don’t follow?

      Not all political accounts are weirdos and grifters? Some just want to show you what is wrong with society and what you can do to fix it.
