Facebook ban on discussing Linux?

I reckon, given the extent of voluntary submission to constant surveilance from corporations and the continued march deeper into oligarchy, that it's only a matter of time until platforms that aren't explicitly anti-privacy are going to be reframed as extremist and dangerous as a part of the global political conversation. Perhaps this will end up being the leading edge of that.

"Akshually", so do you. You had a chance to discuss and inform, and instead you went straight to "bootlicker".
Do you think they're going to take any notice of whatever you say from here on?

I am not communicating to "them"
I am making record of bootlicker behavior for other readers to correct me or to take notice.

Should have phrased it differently: Banning a post on a specific linux distribution is not a "ban on discussing linux" in general.

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.

I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.

Probably a little of all of the above.
Folks that run OSs other than Windows and Mac are usually not passive sheep. If you want folks to just sit back and ignore what is going on you probably don’t want agitators in the mix.

maybe it's the same reason some banks don't work on rooted android phones: they want to prevent you to control how your system works bc they count on being able to extract as much information as possible from your computer usage

I bet they banned distrowatch.com, use distrowatch.org instead. Sadly they give up distrowat.ch

Consider yourself corrected then. I've skimmed your comment history. Your go-to insult is "bootlicker" or alternatively, a simple clown emoji. In your comments you seem to provide very little context as to why you think that, it's just, "I deem you to be a BOOTLICKER! Next!"
So maybe a little guidance for you:
The very, very, first thing you do when dealing with perceived propaganda - be it on mainstream media, online, or wherever - is to remove all the emotion and insults and see what's left. You know what I see when I parse your comments like that? Very little.
Thus I conclude you have nothing of importance to say, and you become background noise that gets tuned out.
Actually your comments do have some small value. I check your bootlicker-comment-score and if it's greater than 5, I know the community you posted in isn't worth my time.
