    With the way this is worded I’m just thinking “yeah and some content probably aligns with the Norwegian government”.

      The article itself does a good job at explaining the issue. You should try to read it.

        The above reply could still be true. If you run this sort of hashtag analysis on other countries you could probably find a bunch that the platform is “favoring” .

        Hell you could uno reverse this whole argument and say meta is boosting western aligned content. Claiming Instagram is some sort of unbiased real base for social media is a bad premise.

          Yes, but the things that are specifically being favored or silenced, as the article shows, are things that the CCP wants to be favored or silenced.

          “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.”

          Or in this case, if it looks like it’s owned by CCP, takes orders from the CCP, and promotes the views of the CCP, it’s probably a CCP intelligence operation.
