The censors are going after the memes, not just because they have no sense of humor (they don’t) but because memes are devastatingly effective against them. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
and then they came for the memes, and so i pushed back. hard.
there was recently a new dump of subpoenaed documents about censorship on facebook. you can read the whole sweep of it HERE in longtime gatopal™ justin hart’s brownstone article.
it features the usual villains up to the usual villainy of “white house pressures social media to take down “disinformation” with all the subtlety (and half the charm) of a mobster named “molotov vinne” admiring your hay barn and asking if you had ever considered buying fire insurance.
it certainly scared the meta-folks.
but where is starts to get both absurd (and telling) is that they were also coming after memes.
