Facebook is NOT blocking the Post from posting. They are limiting sharing. This headline is a good example of way it may have been the right move. Misinformation spreads fast.

Some will want to stay in proximity to the young people they already know.
The ones that want that already do.

Hold on... it’s not quite as clear-cut as the Apple-haters that joyously jumped in put it.
These channels are not about a platform for freedom of speech and rallying for peaceful demonstrations.
Nope. It’s about exposing PII of public officials; names and home addresses? Take pause to appreciate the possible consequences of this. What could possibly go wrong?
Now I agree that Belarus officials are complicit or actively engaging in violations of personal freedom, violence and persecution.
But calling out individuals with the not-so-subtle encouragement for personal confrontation and violent retribution is illegal and frowned upon in all democratic societies.
"But it isn't nice to doxx the killers" is not the argument I was expecting.

No, it is not. Politics apathy is present across all races, all classes, all genders.
Those who are politically possessed like to claim that “everything is politics” and that “it’s a privilege to not care about politics”, but every Hispanic and Filipino immigrant I’ve known (which is not a negligible number) care about family, hard work, and stability: not politics.
How does one ensure "stability" without getting involved in politics?

And if this is so offensive, why are you using a throwaway? I'll reply anyway for people to read (because I know you will read anyway, from your safe space, lol)
Notice I didn't say I am against diversity. Diversity is good, even I'd rather see Samba performed by Brazilian than Japanese Brazilians in the streets of Tokyo. Also diversity can mean a lot of things, not just race, but economy as well, actually this was more in line with what in my mind, because of my upbringing in Asia where racial diversity is miniscule but mostly socio-economic diversity.
Priorities, that's the word here. Can I work 80hrs a week? Sure, but my family and mental health takes priority. Do I want diversity? Of course, but harmony takes priority. When I send my kids to school, I want them to be educated in an educative environment, and nothing else. I don't want them to do bad stuffs, I don't want them to skip class. I don't want to go home after work noticing my kids are not getting the education that they get but something else.
Simple.
EDIT: I guess you mistaken the race/culture into a thing where you assume I think race/culture are closely associated to economic performance? Lol you are mistaken, but I see why you would assume that based on my grammar?
What I meant was, as Asian (this is the race/culture that I meant), we inclined to think in harmony first, because in our culture, harmony is more important. Do you get it? If not, I don't know how to properly explain it, English is not my first language, sorry.
There are many reasons someone may wish to remain anonymous on the internet. Sorry if my anonymity triggers you.
I didn't say you were against diversity, I said you created an inverse relationship between diversity and harmony. You could have had that whole discussion about optimizing for harmony without discussing diversity at all (there are many things that might affect your harmony including curriculum changes or standardized testing). The fact that you placed diversity in opposition to harmony is why I said what I said.
Perhaps it's just the fact that you're not a native english speaker, but the fact that you're now making assumptions about economics (who said anything about that?) and brought up diversity in the context of a comment about "undesirables" affecting your kids lead me to believe that you just don't like diversity.

I'm not affluent by any means, but, if in any case I see my kids' schools are degrading quality wise including seeing his peers as some people that I (or my wife) see as "undesirables" (such a bad word here, but I really mean some kids that would have bad influence on my kids) we'd sacrifice one of career and income and just teach our kids at home.
Not trying to bring race/culture into this discussion, but I believe most Asians will think like this (we are Asians). On the other hand, we value harmony and homogeneity than diversity. It doesn't mean we don't value diversity. It just means we have harmony first as priority and diversity second. As soon as diversity starts to degrade harmony, then we gonna cut the diversity part. So if the school kids are good, we are happy, but if not, we gonna take our kids out of it.
You stated you're "not trying to bring race/culture into it" then explicitly created an inverse relationship between diversity and harmony.
Perhaps a country as diverse as america is a poor choice for you.

When I was still in school, all the homeschooled kids I met were incredibly weird and I thought the same thing. Then later I had a friend whose little sister was homeschooled and they did it right.
She was a part of some homeschooling group where the kids would get together frequently and the parents would takes turns leading different activities, often leveraging different parents' professions or special expertise. She was both well-socialized and had much more deep and engaging experiences than you can get in school.
Though you still end up with the problem of when and how to rejoin the normal world since you're so far ahead.
So you're saying that homeschooled kids have the same variance in outcomes as kids that go to school?
People say having internal debate is a disadvantage, but all the companies that are famous for having it make more money than everyone else.
I don't know why you are being downvoted, I think HN's flagging system is another way we are being censored.
Just this summer, I remember multiple articles with important, true contributions to our understanding of covid that got flagged.
We are losing the ability to consider multiple sides of an issue.
