Does instagram really let the hateposts like the top one fly?
Can we find the person who posted it and beat the shit out of them? I know, I know, I'm just doing internet tough guy right now, but I really am sick of all these hateful assholes making the world worse. They post who they are under their real name! Burn their house down!
You can post hitler images with hitler quotes along with "Cleanse Europe" calls for action.
I've seen black people in EU compared to animals, and random muslims on the streets equated to terrorists (all on Instagram, while scrolling through puppy videos)
Instagram is pretty close to X-formerly-known-as-Twitter
Yes, posts about Israel bombing hospitals are more likely to be removed than literal nazi apologia.
Facebook now has a carve out in their anti-bigotry rules that specifically declares it okay to call trans people mentally sick.
Burn the whole thing down and start from scratch.
Had me in the first half, lost me in the second.
Start from federated FOSS!
Where can this carve-out be found? I looked at their Code of conduct for bullying and harassment and did notice that harassment related to gender only seems to be protected for "private minors" and not for adults.

Yup, I was looking in the wrong section. This will make great ammunition when convincing people not to use Meta services.
in Facebook's case, burn it down and salt the earth so it can never be started again
Also, I believe there’s a similar carve out for referring to women as “property.”
