This also happens to trans people's deadnames

Reminder that Facebook / Meta does not respect transgender people. I was banned from Meta's network for life for "refusing to use my 'real' / legal name" when Facebook explicitly says it allows use of nicknames and pen names. They let cisgender men named Richard call themselves Dick but god forbid I call myself Jasmine and use the nickname Jazzy.

To boot, even using Jasmine was too much and they demanded I use my "real" name. I go by Jazzy IRL. It is my "real name."

This is in addition to the fact the biggest players on Facebook were consistently anti-transgender propaganda accounts from such organizations as the Daily Wire. Rules were applied unfairly and moderators consistently sided with harassers bombarding my account with some of the most vile hate I've ever seen.

Don't join any Meta-owned website. They don't give a Hank about transgender folk and actively work to enable harassers and hate-speech on their networks despite their protests otherwise.

Do not use Threads / Facebook / Instagram. Meta talks to cops. They will give your information to the police without a warrant.

In case you wondered how police will find women seeking abortions—this is how. They will go to advertising and social media companies.

When our identities themselves become illegal, Meta is not going to protect you. They will gleefully give your information to the Gestapo.

Hot take: the way to stop antivaxxers is to start charging them with murder when they kill their children. Give them life in prison / capital punishment. Charge the people who advised the person with manslaughter / accessory / conspiracy charges.

Then watch how fast these fuckers stop once they are held accountable for the deaths they cause. Stop treating these people as victims.

Translation (from Spanish to English):

"This is an urgent warning. The governments of Texas and of the United States are constructing a floating barrier in the middle of the Río Grande. This row of buoys has a net underneath it (think of a fishing net). This net has been fitted with weights to prevent people from lifting it or swimming underneath it. The balls spin and are slippery for people that try to climb over them. This floating border wall is designed to kill and presents a lethal risk for everyone who intends to cross the river. Wherever you are, please spread this urgent message to prevent deaths from crossing the Río Grande. Thank you."
