Lower Censorship For Memes on Facebook and Instagram


Lower Censorship For Memes on Facebook and Instagram
The Issue
What is this about?
Nowadays, we have to think twice or more before posting something online. Not because it has dramatic consequences, but because everyone gets offended for no legit reason. If we don't put a stop to this now, by the time it's 2024, even pictures of your dog will become offensive, because it might be a certain health-risk breed.
The issue
We are tired of getting post blocks and penalties on Facebook and Instagram for posting jokes and funny videos. The comment session of nearly every post is full of hate and victim playing. More censorship does not solve anything. More censorship only makes people look for more things to get offended by, because playing the victim is the easiest way to gain attention. For a lot of page owners, their page is their extra business. And their profit out of this business is so incredibly low that they most likely just do it to make others laugh. As a hobby.
What do we want to achieve?
We want to see a significantly lower censorship for pages and profiles which are clearly meant as satire. Pages with words in their title such as: "jokes, dank, memes, humor and edgy" should make it clear enough that any of their post should not be taken seriously. We want to see more "This photo or video contains shocking footage", with a choice for people to uncover it, rather than seeing more and more of our pages disappear for questionable reasons. More censorship is an attack on our freedom-of-speech, which is a human right.
