## What Jamie wrote

So Facebook has decided they are no longer going to moderate a bunch of posts that have hateful and fake information, but they are going to decide Linux is off limits? 

> Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.

Seriously what? Facebook — out!
