    Lately, he says he’s noticed that “pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler content” has been getting especially high engagement on platforms like Reels, speculating that an AI hot girl Nazi influencer “would blow up. It would just break all the records.” (When asked about this claim, a Meta spokesperson said, “We prohibit content that glorifies, supports, or represents Nazism, and we remove it when we find it.”)

    lmao, they remove it when they find it, they’re not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they’re actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.

      To Meta’s credit, however, emily_hart.nurse’s life on Instagram was relatively brief. In February, Emily’s account was officially banned after Instagram flagged it for “fraudulent” activity, though her Facebook account is still active.

      Another piece of circumstantial evidence that Meta is just ugh.

        Cause they were scamming Nazis, if it would have been an account scamming old people they would have kept it.

        Blind people are the only ones left that should consider doing image moderation for meta. The rest of their former workforce is too traumatized. No audio though please, that shit is gross.

      I’ve reported a lot of obvious (but not overt) neonazi content on meta and it almost never gets taken down. Maaaaybe 5% on the high end. It has to be extremely overt to register. Obvious dog whistles like “the Austrian leader was right,” using emojis like 👃, or 🧃 to make hate speech against Jews, 🐵 for African Americans, etc. slides right by.

      lmao, they remove it when they *find* it, they’re not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they’re actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.

      Yeah, I don’t use IG but my wife has reported explicitly nazi glorification content before but because the account would say “for historical purposes only”, they just say they didn’t find anything wrong with the posts. Fuck Meta

      Every “debate” “free speech” group on Facebook eventually devolved to a Nazi hangout and kicked me out for being too left wing. Everything left wing group got sucked.

      It’s a shithole unfortunately

      It would be a pretty easy thing to write a bot to search this stuff.

      You could start off with the keyword search. It would be interesting to watch these guys try and come up with pseudonyms. What’s their version of unalive?

      Hey, they’d have to pay a person in the third world $5 a year to do that, do you think they’re made of money?
