Meta has told the Brazilian government that it doesn’t yet have to worry about the end of fact checkers in its country because it is only removing them in the United States for the time being.

        Not really. It was one of Oracle developers. He later joined Facebook and Facebook did contribute to the development, but at point it was already moving out of experimental stage.

          Ah, that is interesting, I have held off of BTRFS due to believing it was made by Facebook, so I’ll have to give it another chance.

          I know it isn’t a rational reason to avoid it, but feelings are not always rational.

          Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding!

            Zstd was Facebook developed. And is really good, almost unfortunately. And is getting pretty widespread so we will always have a small, cursed piece of Facebook in our Linux systems :(

    Yes, they’ll wait until the media loses interest before doing the exact same thing here without a single major national publication remembering to cover it. Filhos da puta.

      I think so? When the Brazilian Supreme Court banned some far-right and neo-Nazis from twitter, you could still see their posts, but if you changed your VPN/IP to a Brazilian one, it would give you an error message saying it had been removed for violating Brazilian law.

      It probably also saves them a bit of money so from their perspective it’s a win-win good business decision.

        I mean, it’s not like they were good at it anyway. Hope it becomes a trashfire and they collectively burn the entire company down.

    Sounds that’s going to work well. It wasn’t going so well to start with but apparently they are still on top of Pixelfed!
