Meta blocks links to ICE List across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

Meta's new move is super concerning . I think they're just trying to silence free speech on their platforms . The fact that they can block links to an entire website without explanation is ridiculous . I mean, who decides what info is "personally identifiable" anyway? It's not like the site has user profiles or anything... My friend works at a non-profit and says that this move is just another way to chill activist groups . We should be worried about what other tech companies will do next

oh my gosh i'm soooo not okay with this meta needs to rethink their policy sharing info about gov't actions shouldn't be censored especially on a platform meant for free speech and btw the whole situation just feels super fishy like they're trying to cover something up what's really going on behind the scenes?

I'm kinda worried about this... Meta trying to block links to the ICE List website feels like they're being forced to censor something that's actually doing some good. I get it, there are rules in place about sharing personal info, but from what I've read, the site doesn't seem to be violating those rules.

It's weird how one company can just start flagging posts without warning, especially if it's because of pressure from the government . And honestly, it feels like Meta is being bullied into doing something they don't want to do. The thing is, this site is kinda like a transparency watchdog for ICE agents... so what's wrong with that?

I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Part of me thinks it's a victory for freedom of speech, but another part of me feels like companies should be able to make their own decisions about the content they host . Guess we'll just have to keep an eye on this one and see where it goes

This is getting interesting... Meta's sudden blockage of links to the ICE List website is a clear attempt to silence those who want to hold our law enforcement agencies accountable. I mean, come on, the site doesn't contain any personal info, just publicly available records. It's like they're trying to stifle free speech, and we all know how much that matters... especially when it comes to issues like immigration reform .

I'm also super annoyed that this happened on Monday night, without any prior warning. You'd think Meta would've given users a heads up before taking down our freedom of expression . The Trump administration is trying to push its agenda, and now they're getting support from the big tech companies... it's just not right .

I'm curious to see how this plays out in the long run. Will other platforms follow suit? Can we find ways to share these links without getting blocked? One thing's for sure, this is a battle for our rights as citizens... and I'm all about it !

I think Meta is being kinda unfair here . Dominick Skinner's platform is all about holding people in power accountable, which I think is super important . The fact that they're blocking links to the site just 'cause of some pressure from the Trump admin doesn't sit right with me . The ICE List website ain't sharing no personally identifiable info, so I don't see why Meta's gotta crack down . It's like they're trying to help out their friends in power rather than doin' what's right . And let's be real, the whole thing just stinks of a power play .
