Meta's policy changes should be denounced, not only because they are a disgraceful display of obedience to Trump but primarily because of how they will harm LGBT+, PoC, and other populations. But I hope some reflection is given on how defending and pushing for censorship paved the way for this.

New: Meta says it is deleting those AI accounts. 404 Media confirmed that many of them being deleted at the moment www.404media.co/metas-ai-pro...
After this article was originally published, Liz Sweeney, a Meta spokesperson, told 404 Media that "there is confusion" on the internet between what Hayes told the Financial Times and what is being talked about online now, and Meta is deleting those accounts now. 404 Media confirmed that many of the profiles that were live at the time this article was published have since been deleted.
"There is confusion: the recent Financial Times article was about our vision for AI characters existing on our platforms over time, not announcing any new product," Sweeney said. "The accounts referenced are from a test we launched at Connect in 2023. These were managed by humans and were part of an early experiment we did with AI characters. We identified the bug that was impacting the ability for people to block those AIs and are removing those accounts to fix the issue.”
