Facebook banuje posty, które wspominają o różnych tematach, stronach lub grupach związanych z Linuksem. Konta niektórych użytkowników bywają zablokowane lub ograniczone ze względu na publikowanie wątków związanych z Linuksem. Główna strona z wiadomościami, recenzjami i dyskusjami na temat systemów operacyjnych typu open source DistroWatch znalazła się w centrum kontrowersji, [gdy] odkryła, że Standardy Społeczności Facebooka spowodowały jej zablokowanie.

DistroWatch twierdzi, że blokada na Facebooku wszła w życie 19 stycznia. Czytelnicy zgłaszali trudności z umieszczaniem linków do strony na tej platformie społecznościowej. Co więcej, niektórzy powiedzieli DistroWatch, że ich konta na Facebooku zostały zablokowane lub ograniczone po udostępnieniu postów wspominających o Linuksie.

Jeśli zastanawiasz się, czy może być coś specyficznego dla DistroWatch.com, coś na stronie, o czym właściciele/operatorzy być może nawet nie wiedzą, to bezpiecznie można wykluczyć taką możliwość. Raporty pokazują, że „wiele grup związanych z Linuksem i dyskusjami o Linuksie zostało zamkniętych lub usunięto wiele ich postów”. Przetestowaliśmy jednak kilka innych postów na Facebooku ze wzmiankami o Linuksie i nie zostały one natychmiast zablokowane.

Facebook is banning posts that mention various Linux-related topics, sites, or groups. Some users may also see their accounts locked or limited when posting Linux topics. Major open-source operating system news, reviews, and discussion site DistroWatch is at the center of the controversy, as it seems to be the first to have noticed that Facebook's Community Standards had blackballed it.

[...]

DistroWatch says that the Facebook ban took effect on January 19. Readers have reported difficulty posting links to the site on this social media platform. Moreover, some have told DistroWatch that their Facebook accounts have been locked or limited after sharing posts mentioning Linux topics.

If you're wondering if there might be something specific to DistroWatch.com, something on the site that the owners/operators perhaps don't even know about, for example, then it seems pretty safe to rule out such a possibility. Reports show that "multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed." However, we tested a few other Facebook posts with mentions of Linux, and they didn't get blocked immediately.
