Linux-related discussion as a cybersecurity threat

Date:
Mon, 27 Jan 2025 15:57:10 +0000

Description:
The DistroWatch
January 27 edition includes this interesting tidbit: Starting on January 19, 
2025 Facebook's internal policy makers
	decided that Linux is malware and labeled groups associated with
	Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning
	DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux
	discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts
	removed. We've been hearing all week from readers who say they can no 
longer
	post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some
	people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for
	posting about Linux. One can only hope that this is a mistake that 
will be resolved soon.
