San Francisco author and activist Rebecca Solnit reported her account on Meta’s social media network was suspended in a post to Bluesky on Tuesday, June 10, adding that she was soon told the decision was permanent.
But less than 24 hours later, the account was reinstated after a Meta spokesperson said the suspension had been made in error.
On Tuesday, Solnit wrote, “Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).”
WHY IS ANYONE ON FACEBOOK.
Instagram is in the same category and are the same company, lets not forget. Yet so many people can say out of one side of their mouth “leave facebook!” but then say no not instagram too!
So noted.
AND INSTAGRAM!
And WhatsApp. Also same company.
AND WHATSAPP!
It makes sense for a public figure trying to reach people. It won’t work because of the algorithm ™, but I can understand still wanting to try.
Yeah I think that’s a valid if highly flawed reason.
You could just buy advertising on it for that though.
Facebook is a tool of the regime. It is an enemy-controlled platform. It cannot be effectively utilized for resistance. The only thing to do with it is to destroy it.
And block it entirely via DNS and/or IP filtering. They’ll track you across the web even if you’re not a user.
I wonder if they reversed it only because she could post about it on Bluesky?
Or was just semi-famous in general. Some peon caught up in their shitty AI/shitty moderators wouldn’t generate news stories or have reach elsewhere. Certainly there are plenty of examples of just how bad FB moderation is, with reviews rarely fixing the problem.
When the regime falls, they should make sure that Mark Zuckerberg is prosecuted as a collaborator.
That collaborators list is becoming quite large, but rest assured that billionaires will just quietly be ignored after this is all done. After all, billionaires can do whatever the fuck they want, and get away with it

Without realizing it, you’re thinking and talking exactly the way that the billionaire class hopes for.
The message that you’re actually delivering is:
Resistance is futile. Be passive.

an android like zuckerborg has nothing to fear from human laws.
Should you be a participant in any actions, you are not allowed to document those actions, even better, you may not even speculate about those actions…thought police, jesus christ…

Man. It took me telling a Magat to end their life for me to get banned
yeah but did the author even try MMA ? because if not they are likely biased against liberty and truth and freedom
At this point, it’s his own fault for using Facebook.
It’s a double edged sword though. If others in her age group are only using Facebook, and she is posting said information elsewhere then you’ve just created a massive group of people who didn’t leave Facebook because their views agreed with media on the site at the time they joined and now you have a mass group of people stuck in an echo chamber. Some some that may otherwise have differing views may just hear they are wrong 100 times and never want to speak up and just go with it because they think they are 1 in 100 people who believe differently.
That said, I left 4-5 years ago and I have only ever wanted an account once, when I was in PHX for work and wanted to find someone I knew from 15 years ago.
