“Elevating free expression is a good thing, but it should apply to everyone,” the report says. “The prioritisation of free expression over all other values, such as equality and non-discrimination, is deeply troubling to the auditors.”
Free expression is great, say the auditors of Facebook policies, except when the expressions freed disagree with us.
The internet “platforms” are increasingly taking an editorial line. It cannot (or should not) be long before their egregious privilege of irresponsibility is abolished and they have to be held to the same standards as any other publisher.
“Elevating free expression is a good thing, but it should apply to everyone,” said the auditors, lying through their fucking teeth.
‘Equality’ in their sense is totalist language. They are quite literally saying they will decide what is to be allowed based on what they choose.
They are evil.
Fuckbook? Fascbook?
Akshully whenever an American uses “troubling” you know you are reading shite.
How hard is this (even for Leftists)? It’s defined by the name/term – free expression trumps all other values otherwise it’s not free.
To give the Yanks a pat on the back, it would be hard to equal this headline:

Free expression cannot exist without equality and non-discrimination! The antithesis would be allowing expression in some cases not others (inequality), or disallowing it in people because of things like status, race, political views, religion (discrimination).
The problem is the Wokeratti do not understand that words and concepts have long established, fundamental objective meanings, they have only the meanings awarded them to align with their feelings.
“Elevating free expression is a good thing, but it should apply to everyone we agree with,” said the auditors.
FTFY
. . . words and concepts have long established, fundamental objective meanings . . .
Oh, puhleeze, that’s just so white.
