In a video on Oct. 13, Instagram influencer and photojournalist Motaz Azaiza shared footage of the rubble of an apartment, the site of an Israeli bombardment that killed 15 of his family members.

He turns the camera on himself first, visibly upset, and then shows the scene—the ruin of the building, a bloodstain, a neighbor carrying a child’s body draped with a shroud.

In response, Meta restricted access to his account.

So you're all for the "marketplace of ideas" then eh? If corporations aren't allowed to censor and edit as they please, that means that Nazis are going to be front and center on every social media platform.

Uhh.. Why is that?

Are you saying in a vacuum those ideas are the most palatable or something? Because that’s what it sounds like

I really worry about the future when people just throw their hands up in the air and say “well, fuck it, either we become totalitarians or we let nazis take over”. That’s not much of a choice
