Similar to Russia's anti-LGBT law, which seeks to suppress the portrayal of the LGBT community as a normal part of society, Meta is now reversing course and removing product features that provide visibility to LGBTQ+ users on its platforms. www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

My latest is a reflection on how people have responded to the killing of a health insurance CEO. "Rather than centering Thompson’s humanity, as scolding voices have demanded, they centered their own, and the humanity and suffering of others who were harmed by the insurance industry."
